True Christian Service | Foundations

What does it really mean to serve Christ?

In Philippians 2:25–30, we meet Epaphroditus—a servant in the shadows whose faithful and sacrificial service made him invaluable to Paul and the church. His life reminds us that every believer has a part to play in the work of Christ, whether or not anyone else sees it.

In this message from our Foundations series, we discover that Christian service is necessary, selfless, costly, and honorable. We’re challenged to serve quietly, carry the burdens of others, take risks for the sake of the Gospel, and encourage those who faithfully serve.

Following Jesus has never been safe—but it has always been worth it.

Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident. God’s desire for every believer is that we continue growing in our knowledge of Him and becoming more like Christ.

In this message from our Foundations series, we look at 2 Peter 3:18 and Acts 2:42 to discover the need for spiritual growth, the effort growth requires, and the pattern God has given us to pursue it.

Spiritual growth is the intentional, continual pursuit of Christlikeness.

Whether your next step is salvation, baptism, membership, joining a group, or serving on a team, the question for each of us is simple: What is your next step?

Prayer isn’t the church’s emergency exit—it’s the church’s engine.

In Acts 1:12–14, we find the early believers gathered together and devoted to prayer. Throughout the book of Acts, prayer wasn’t simply something the church did when circumstances became difficult—it was woven into the life and mission of the church.

In this message from our Foundations series, we discover how the early church was birthed in prayer, bathed in prayer, and bonded in prayer, and why prayer must remain foundational to the church today.

A praying church is a powerful church—not because prayer is powerful in itself, but because prayer connects a powerless people to an all-powerful God.
