Life rarely stays neat. Plans wobble. Circumstances shift. And often, nothing on the outside gets fixed. But something on the inside can change.

In Philippians 4:6–9, the apostle Paul shows us a different way to live. From a prison cell, he teaches the church how thanksgiving reshapes the heart, how an excellent mind forms a faithful life, and how inward formation naturally becomes outward witness.

In this message, Thanksgiving and the Excellent Life, we explore:
• Why gratitude is not denial, but spiritual formation
• How thanksgiving leads to peace even when circumstances remain hard
• What it means to set our minds on what is true, noble, pure, and excellent
• How our thoughts shape our habits, actions, and witness
• Why pressing upward in faith always leads to going outward in love

This sermon is for anyone who feels anxious, distracted, discouraged, or hungry for a deeper way to live the Christian life. Paul reminds us that the excellent life is not about perfection, but about practicing faith, gratitude, and obedience in everyday moments.

When the people of God live thankful lives and think excellent thoughts, the world begins to see Christ in them.

What is God’s purpose behind blessing His people?

In Philippians 4:10–20, the apostle Paul shows us that contentment, generosity, and mission are deeply connected. God forms His people inwardly so His grace can flow outward. A church shaped by Christ becomes a church that blesses others.

In this final message of the Pressing Upward, Going Outward series, we explore:
• The difference between resignation and Christ-centered contentment
• Why generosity is an act of worship, not obligation
• How partnership in the gospel shapes both giver and receiver
• Why God’s provision is meant to free us for mission, not comfort
• How ordinary believers can bless the world through shared life and service

This sermon is for anyone wrestling with fear, scarcity, burnout, or the question: What does God want to do with what He’s given me?

God blesses His people so they can become a blessing.
The question is how we will respond.

December fills up fast. Calendars get crowded. Schedules get packed. And without meaning to, Jesus often ends up with whatever space is left.

The Christmas story tells us there was no room in Bethlehem. Not because people rejected Jesus, but because life was already full. That same pattern still shapes our lives today.

In this message, Make Room for Jesus, we explore:
• Why busyness and hurry crowd out Christ
• How cluttered lives miss holy moments
• What it means to slow down and open space for God
• Why making room isn’t about doing more, but clearing space
• How surrender, service, generosity, and even baptism are ways we open the door to Christ

This sermon is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, distracted, spiritually tired, or longing for something deeper this Christmas season.

Jesus still stands at the door and knocks.
The question is simple: Will we make room?
