Thrive Church

Philippians - Week 7- Contenment

Contentment is not something that is easy to do in our world.  Paul had to learn it and encourages us to do the same.  

Philippians - Week 6 - Worry

When you worry, what do you worry about?  Is there another choice?  A better choice?  Paul could have worried about the church in Philippi but made a different choice.  Find out what that is.  

Philippians - Week 5 - Resume

Too many people are uncertain about life after this life.  We hope we are good enough.  We hope we have done enough.  What if our Resume needed only one word?  What if we only need to be certain about one thing?  What is that?  Jesus!!!  Paul realizes his resume is nothing and Jesus is everything.  Do you realize that as well?

Philippians - Week 4 - Light

As we continue our journey into this letter, today Paul wants to make sure the church is making a difference.  To make a difference you have to do things differently than everyone else.  Are we?

Philippians - Week 3 - Humility

Our primary filter for making decisions is "What's in it for me?"  What if instead, we used what he had for the good of others before ourselves.  That would change our church and change the world.  

Philippians - Week 2 - Stuck

Have you ever been stuck?  Even though you are stuck, God is not stuck.  He is always at work even when we think He isn't.  Listen to part 2 in our series in Philippians.  

Philippians Week 1 - Partnership

Today we begin our series in Philippians.  It is this incredible letter Paul wrote while in prison and yet it is full of joy.  What makes a healthy church?  Paul is grateful the Philippian church knows what matters and are growing in their relationship with Christ.  

Burn the Ships - Week 4 - Redemption

What happens to wasted time?  You know the time you waste holding on to things that hold you back.  What happens to that wasted time?  Normally it becomes regret in our life.  But what if in the hands of Jesus nothing is wasted.  What if God can redeem our wasted time?  Listen as Pastor Ed addresses this topic.  

Burn the Ships - Week 3 - The Hardest

All the things we hold on to are not equal in the ability to let them go.  Today, Pastor Ed references the MeToo movement and talk about how hard it is to let go after being sexually assaulted or abused.  There is hope to move forward with the help of Christ. 

Burn the Ships - Week 2 - What you don't know

Pastor Ed continues the Burn the Ships series with a look at the "New" God has in store for us when we let go of what is holding back.  The past shows up in the present and affects the future.  We forget that.  We hold on out of comfort or laziness, but God has something better in store for us.
