Swerve Church Podcast

What do you do when you experience anxiety? Paul lays out a framework we can follow to begin to cast our anxieties to God.

Did you ever think about what you think about? This week Paul will challenge us to think on God things!

Paul calls the church in Philippi and generous and caring church. How can we also be generous and caring?

Conflict is a part of life. How we deal with it can make all the difference. As followers of Jesus, we want to resolve conflict in a way that honors God and that is a good gospel witness.

Paul gives an example of who NOT to imitate in this week's message from our walk through of Philippians.

What happens when this life is over? What of sickness and death? We were never designed for the here and now because heaven is our home. Paul help us understand what's next.

What do you think makes a great church? The music? The building? The lead pastor? The truth is it doesn't matter what you think! Let's look to God's Word and allow that to help us define a great church!

We're called to imitate those who live out their faith faithfully. We're also called to lead others to follow us as we follow Christ.

Focusing on the past can keep you from reaching forward. God wants you to pursue His best!

Faith is a journey. Where we are today is not where we were yesterday. And by the grace of God, tomorrow we'll be even further along. We're called to mature as followers of Christ. Are you growing in your walk with Christ?

Where do we find the ultimate source of confidence for salvation? This week Paul discusses his "resumé of righteousness" to show us confidence in anything other than Jesus is a false confidence.

What does it mean to "know Christ"? This week Paul challenges us to know the surpassing value of Christ.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it 100% of the time! This week we're challenged to strive for the goal. 

What is the main thing? What is the one thing as followers of Jesus we should be all about? It's all about the Gospel.

What are the marks of a follower of Christ? The Bible says you will know a tree by its fruit. In this week's passage, Paul helps us understand the marks of a Christian.

Is leadership just for "professional Christians?" Or is there a call for all fully devoted followers of Christ to lead in their homes, workplaces, schools, and on the block? Epaphroditus shows us how it's done!

The world is dark, bleak, and dim. But as followers of Jesus we're called to stand out, not blend in. How do we shine bright in a dark world? Join us this week through our study in Philippians.

What does a godly leader look like? This week we examine Paul's description of Timothy as a godly leader. Do you view yourself as a leader? Why not? You're called to be a leader in your workplace, at school, at home, and in your community.

Where we come from and where we live so often leaves a mark on our characteristics. But in today's passage, Paul is going to help us see that ultimately our citizenship is not here on earth but in heaven. Our challenge this week is to live as citizens of heaven.

Part of living as citizens of heaven worthy of the gospel is working out our salvation. But what does that mean? In this week's installment we explain the difference between working FOR and working FROM salvation.
