The Power of Lasting Friendships in a Fast-Paced World

This Sunday, Pastor Jon wrapped up our Summer sermon series, Defiant Joy: A Study Through Philippians, with Paul’s closing message to the church at Philippi. When we study Paul’s life and church history, it is evident that the Gospel is always moving along relational lines. Through Paul’s relationship with the Philippians we see the Gospel being carried out because of their sacrificial commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom, long, loyal relationships to one another, and generous partnerships to promote the movement. Paul’s life of mission was a response to the love that saved him, and he calls us to respond in the same way, giving everything we have for the sake of the Gospel.
