Hey Christ Church,

I was so richly blessed seeing a few pictures and hearing a few testimonies for our first discipleship group gathering on Tuesday evening. What a precious gift these living room moments are going to be for our body! I strongly believe God’s going to use YOU as the church to do exactly what we have been hearing from Ephesians, to lovingly build this body up in love and to serve each other’s progress in Christ, who is our head and our treasure. What an incredible calling to participate in salvation together!

The hand of our God is with us!

I loved getting back into the rhythm of our first Sunday meals. We don’t get nearly as many opportunities to spend time together as we’d like. So, I relish those chances to sit down at a table together! They’re just a gift.

I was telling the deacons in our recent meeting that a repeated theme coming up in my morning devotions has been how God’s hand was with His people in their exile. And, as we’re discovering from Philippians, that same power is now with us through the Holy Spirit’s presence. So, as we heard last week, let me encourage us all to pray and specifically ask God to increase our faith in Him and in the glorious Gospel. That’s a prayer He is pleased to answer. 

His work through us is always going to be shaped by His work in us. So, what a joy it’s going to be to see Him do what only He can do. The hand of our good God is with us!

The Promise of Jesus

As the news cycle continues to churn this week, I can’t help but be reminded of Jesus’ promise to His disciples shortly before His crucifixion. “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.” As believers in Him, everything hinges on that reassuring truth. Indeed, that’s exactly why we gather on Sundays and that’s what our Philippians series is all about. Please continue to pray for that peace to be supernaturally growing in our hearts week by week!


Also, don’t forget about the children’s ministry interest meeting today! (9/12/21) This will be an opportunity to talk about the strategic opportunity we have, the vision for passing the Gospel on to the next generation, and an overview of the plan. I’ll work to keep it short!

Pastor Bart on Philippians

God intends to do God size things as we open Philippians each week. And certainly, there is no greater miracle in the human soul than to experience genuine joy in the person and work and presence of Jesus Christ. That’s the greatest miracle that there is for a human soul — to rejoice in the person and work and presence of Jesus.
That’s the “Joy in Jesus.”


I ask you to be praying that the Holy Spirit would make Jesus more glorious in our eyes, that our bond together as those who are bound together in him would only deepen and strengthen and that our witness to an outside world that we belong to Jesus Christ would only be emboldened.
