In Philippians 2, Paul gives the church two examples of faithful gospel living: Timothy and Epaphroditus. One becomes a trusted leader in the church; the other appears as an ordinary member willing to risk his life to serve Paul and strengthen the mission of the gospel.

This sermon looks at what life together actually requires: relationship and risk. Real discipleship takes time, teamwork, and patience. It cannot be rushed. As followers of Jesus, our lives are not centered on comfort, career, or reputation, but on Christ and His mission.

Love Moves when ordinary people are shaped by the gospel and sent into everyday life with eternal purpose.

Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. We desire to engage culture, uphold truth and love people. In a world where life can be heavy and confusing, we want to cover the hard truths - with grace. This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess.

Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together.

We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus.

Come as you are. Experience His love.
