In this sermon from the Village Church’s Philippians series, Pastor Eric turns our attention to Philippians 1:12-30. He invites both the Village community and anyone tuning in to reflect on Jesus' unique "operating procedure" for living out the Gospel. Pastor Eric breaks it down into three parts: creating space for the Gospel, proclaiming the Gospel, and embodying the Gospel. Then, with clarity and thoughtfulness, he examines how Paul weaves his own story of suffering through this lens, showing us what it means to live in the tension between pain and hope, with the Gospel always at the center.

The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
