Philippians.
The Book of Philippians, written by the Apostle Paul while in prison, is a letter filled with joy, encouragement, and profound spiritual truths for the church in Philippi. Despite his circumstances, Paul expresses gratitude and hope, teaching us to find true contentment in Christ regardless of life’s challenges. Through this series, we’ll explore themes like joy in suffering, humility, unity in faith, and the peace that comes from knowing Christ. Paul’s message remains relevant today, reminding us that our true identity and joy are found in Him, not in our circumstances.

Woe To You
In one of the greatest take-downs ever, Jesus confronts the Pharisees, resulting in what is known as The Seven Woes. Throughout history, Christians have loved Jesus for His raw and spot-on exposure of the hypocrisy and callousness that often comes with high levels of authority. Less popular, however, is turning the mirror on ourselves. The truth about us is that modern-day Christianity has regressed into an often judgmental, unfeeling dogma. This week, we put the spotlight on ourselves and wonder if Jesus might say to us, "Woe to you."
