What does it look like to live out the gospel—not alone, but together?
Written from prison, Paul’s letter to the Philippians shows us a church learning to follow Christ with joy, humility, courage, and unity in the midst of real pressures and challenges. Far from being a private faith, the gospel forms a community shaped by grace, grounded in Christ, and committed to one another.
In this 8-session study, we will explore how the gospel transforms:
-
Our identity and partnerships in Christ
-
Our response to suffering and opposition
-
Our call to humility, obedience, and perseverance
-
Our experience of joy, peace, contentment, and generosity
Each session combines careful biblical teaching, practical application, guided reflection, and intentional prayer, helping individuals and groups grow as a gospel-shaped people living faithfully in today’s world.
Living the Gospel Together invites us to discover how Christ forms a community that stands firm, presses on, and overflows with grace—for the glory of God.

Prayer is the lifeblood of the Christian faith--but many followers of Jesus still struggle to make prayer part of their daily lives.
​
Why is it that so many Christians find it difficult to develop a vibrant and exciting prayer life? Even though prayer is foundational to the Christian life, many are intimidated or uncertain about how to talk to God. Prayer feels quaint and old-fashioned to some, sacred and uncomfortable to others. It's not a lack of inspiration--there's plenty of that. And it's not that we don't realize prayer is important--we know it is. So, what's the issue?​
