In this sermon, Pastor Zack looks at Philippians 2:12-13 to see what our worthy response should be, as Christians, to all that God has done for us and in us through Christ. After exalting Jesus for what he did in his show of humility from the cradle to the cross, Paul now begins verse 12 […]
In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues our study of the book of Philippians by looking at Philippians 1:18b-26. In this passage, we learn that, as children of God, we like Paul can have joy and confidence as we face the uncertainties of the future as we put the Gospel at the center of all of […]
In this sermon, Pastor Zack looks at Paul’s update concerning his situation in Philippians 1:12-18a.

In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues the study of the book of Judges by looking at Judges 2:6 – 3:6. Israel’s apostasy and God’s response in this passage point us to the ugly realities of sin and idolatry, the faithfulness of God in both His just wrath and unmerited mercy, and the need for a […]
