Tired of constant anxiety and noise stealing your peace?
It’s time to activate The Peace Protocol. Writing from a Roman imprisonment, the Apostle Paul reveals a spiritual strategy that doesn't just tell you to “calm down”—it protects your heart with a peace that surpasses all human understanding.
Join us as we dive into Philippians 4:1-9 and uncover three life-changing steps:
• Stand Firm in Unity: Discover why you can't experience God's peace while holding onto human conflict.
• Stand Firm in Joy: Learn how to exchange your anxiety for targeted prayer and let divine peace guard your heart like a sentinel.
• Stand Firm in Holiness: Filter your feed, transform your mind, and trade the world's noise for the presence of the God of peace Himself.

Looking for a fresh start or a clear direction forward? Life isn’t about where you’ve been—it’s about where you’re going.
Join us this Sunday as we dive into Philippians 3:13–21 and explore what it means to press on when the world tries to pull us back.
In this message, Pastor Jim Garrett will walk us through how to:
• Let go of the past and focus on the heavenly prize ahead.
• Pursue true unity without requiring uniformity.
• Live as citizens of Heaven, transformed by our coming King instead of being conformed to the world around us.
Come expecting the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart, challenge your walk, and draw you closer to Him. All are welcome!

Status Updates Are Not Soul Upgrades

Stop trying to build a spiritual résumé. In Philippians 3, Paul lays out his personal credentials that most of us could only dream of—pedigree, education, zeal, and moral perfection—then, he calls every single one of them garbage (or worse) compared to knowing Jesus Christ. He realized that all his self-effort was actually self-deception. Real worth isn't earned through performance. It’s received through faith in Jesus’ finished work.

Paul's message is simple and devastating: your flesh will always leave you bankrupt. You can’t upgrade your soul by stacking spiritual achievements. You can only be found in Him—clothed in a righteousness you could never manufacture on your own.

After Sunday’s message, tear up the performance checklist. Stop trusting in what you have done, and instead, rest in what Jesus has already done.

Ever feel like your faithful service in the quiet moments goes unnoticed?
Ever feel like your faithful service in the quiet moments goes unnoticed? In a world that celebrates the spotlight, God's Word reminds us of a different kind of honor. The Apostle Paul didn't praise Timothy for his platform, but for being *proven*—faithful like a son serving a father (Philippians 2:22).

Similarly, Epaphroditus was honored not for a promotion, but as a 'messenger and minister to my need.' They followed Jesus' own pattern of emptying Himself, choosing faithfulness over fame.

You don't need a stage to carry Kingdom weight. The people who quietly show up—who serve when no one is watching—are the ones God holds in the highest honor. Let's be people who are proven in the quiet.

What's one quiet way you can serve this week? Share in the comments.

In Philippians 2, Paul highlights two unsung heroes—Timothy and Epaphroditus. Their legacy wasn’t built on talent or platform, but on proven, selfless service. Timothy served like a son, and Epaphroditus risked his life for the Gospel. In a world that values flash over faithfulness, their examples call us deeper: to genuinely care for others, to serve without seeking the spotlight, and to stake everything for Christ.
