Great Expectations

Dec 07 2024 54 mins  
Advent, meaning “coming,” is a time to slow down and reflect on our deepest expectations. Long ago, Mary learned from an angel that the greatest child ever known would come through her. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller gives three clues from Gabriel's announcement about who this child would be. What must God be like for Him to come so quietly?

Our Daily Bread

Most people try not to bother God with the little things. We mistake self-reliance as freedom, but that doesn’t sound much like Jesus. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller explores five prayer characteristics to realign our souls in utter dependence on God. Jesus opens our eyes to real freedom because there’s no living without Him.

Your Kingdom Come

Nov 23 2024 54 mins  
Our world is full of tragedy and trauma, pain and sorrow. We need to align with what God wants most: the redemption, renewal, and righting of all things in the universe. In this message from Matthew 6, Pastor Philip Miller asks four key questions about God’s kingdom. May we all pray, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”

Our Father In Heaven

For many of us, prayer raises more questions than answers. Am I doing it right? How can I know God is even listening? In this message, Pastor Philip Miller focuses on the first sentence that guides us in prayer and shows us the One to whom we pray. This prayer for Jesus’ disciples turns the world upside down, and it can change our lives too.

Pray Then Like This

Nov 09 2024 54 mins  
It’s common to feel frustrated about prayer. When we feel like God isn’t answering or we don’t feel heard, many of us just give up. In this message from Matthew 6, Pastor Philip Miller explains three modes of praying: two that never work, and the only way that will. Let’s orient our hearts towards God as He intends for us to pray.

Religious Hypocrisy

Nov 02 2024 54 mins  
The original word for hypocrite means actor or stage player. Jesus uses this word, hypocrite, to call out religious fakery. In this message from Matthew 5–6, Pastor Philip Miller shows us three dynamics of religious hypocrisy: its profile, the tyranny of applause, and the freedom of secrecy. What if we allowed the quiet smile of heaven to eclipse the thunderous applause of others

Loving Enemies

Oct 26 2024 54 mins  
Jesus’ message is radical: to love our enemies instead of seeking retaliation or revenge. When we take our eyes off of ourselves and our rights, it reveals a heart that is at home in the kingdom of heaven. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shares three perspectives from Jesus on enemy-love. Jesus is still turning our world, and our thought processes, upside down.

Manipulation on the Lips

Oct 19 2024 54 mins  
Where trust is lacking, we often manipulate others to swear they’ll keep their promise. But swearing oaths is symptomatic of a deeper problem in our hearts. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller looks at the symptoms, the diagnosis, and the prescription of Doctor Jesus. What did Jesus mean when He said: “Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’”?

Divorce on the Mind

Oct 12 2024 54 mins  
In a world full of miserable marriages and devastating divorces, there’s a better way. It all starts with a new heart that only Jesus can give us. In this message from Matthew 5, Pastor Philip Miller makes three key observations about the grounds for divorce, the hardness of the human heart, and the holiness of marriage. Jesus offers a new way of lasting love.

Lust in the Eyes

Oct 05 2024 54 mins  
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses the topic of lust, and it’s not what we think it is. We’ll see the severity needed to overcome a “lustful look.” In this message from Matthew 5, Pastor Philip Miller explains three factors in developing new affections. We can’t look to human beings to meet the deep soul needs that only God can satisfy.
