Freedom in Humility


Speaker: Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11

Meditation:
“When the Spirit of God, with its marvelous awakening power, touches the soul, it abases human pride. Worldly pleasure and position and power are seen to be worthless. “Imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God” are cast down; every thought is brought into captivity “to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Cor. 10:5. Then humility and self-sacrificing love, so little valued among men, are exalted as alone of worth…But as the people looked upon Him, they saw a face where divine compassion was blended with conscious power. Every glance of the eye, every feature of the countenance, was marked with humility, and expressive of unutterable love."

Desire of Ages, p. 135, 137

Righteousness by Faith


Speaker: Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Philippians 3:1-11

Meditation:
“Christ for our sakes became poor, that we through His poverty might be made rich. And any works that man can render to God will be far less than nothingness. My requests are made acceptable only because they are laid upon Christ’s righteousness. The idea of doing anything to merit the grace of pardon is fallacy from beginning to end. “Lord, in my hand no price I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling.” Faith and Works, p. 23

Shine


Speaker: Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Philippians 2:12-18

Meditation:
_"We are compassed with weakness and infirmities, doubts and temptations; but we can come to Jesus in our need, and He will not turn us away empty. He invites, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” This is no doubtful, uncertain promise, but a positive one. If we come to Him, we shall not be disappointed." The Bible Echo, September 24, 1894 _

The Interests of Christ


Speaker: Various Members

Join us for a collection of testimonies by Jonelle Estriplet, Kaury Allen, Twana Ambrose, and Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Philippians 2:19-22

Meditation:
“Jesus was ever a lover of children. He accepted their childish sympathy and their open, unaffected love. The grateful praise from their pure lips was music in His ears, and refreshed His spirit when oppressed by contact with crafty and hypocritical men. Wherever the Saviour went, the benignity of His countenance, and His gentle, kindly manner won the love and confidence of children.” Desire of Ages, p. 511
