Going Deeper

Sunday's sermon doesn't have to end when the service does. Each week, we provide a Going Deeper guide to help you continue studying God's Word throughout the week. These resources expand on Sunday's message with additional Scripture, historical background, discussion questions, practical application, and personal reflection to help you grow in your walk with Christ. Whether you're studying on your own, with your family, or in a Growth Group, these guides are designed to help God's truth take root in your daily life. A new Going Deeper guide is added each week following Sunday's message.

This week in Going Deeper, we’re exploring Philippians 3:1–2 and the importance of finding our joy and confidence in Christ. Life brings struggles, uncertainty, and distractions that can easily shift our focus, but Paul reminds us to rejoice in the Lord—even when our circumstances are difficult.

As we dig deeper into Sunday’s message, we’ll examine what we truly trust, how our faith can become tangled in traditions or expectations, and why our hope must rest in Jesus rather than our own efforts. Together, we’ll consider what it looks like to practice biblical joy, recognize what is shaping our hearts, and live out our trust in Christ each day.

This week, ask yourself: Am I placing my confidence in Christ alone, and am I learning to rejoice in Him through every circumstance?
