Today we're starting part 2 of our "Big God" series on the Holy Trinity. Over the last couple months, we began this 3-part suite with our sermon series called "The Spirit Formed Life" all about the Holy Spirit. Now we're jumping into a series on Jesus over the next 7 weeks; simply titled "The Way." We're in John 1:1-5 this week, reflecting all the way back to creation. We know from Genesis that God created everything; but here we see Jesus (and the Holy Spirit) were all together with God the Father at the very beginning of it all (before creation even existed). We also see that there is relationship between the three parts of the God-head...and low and behold, we see woven through all creation and in our lives that relationships exist and are part of God's intentions. Though brokenness and darkness came into the world from the original sin, which spiritually separated us from God, we can thankfully find a way to become relationally involved again (and saved) through His son Jesus. Graciously with that, we get to reflect (although imperfectly) to the world in relational community what it means to be "Followers of the Way." Phos Church Sunday Sermon 5-11-2025

Worship and sacrifice go hand in hand. Romans 12:1 says "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." As Christ followers, we are called to reflect the love of God in all that we do to the best of our ability. However, we're not doing this to earn the love of the father. The aim is to do it with a heart of praise towards Him because of the love he showed for us. It can be easy to forget the magnitude of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to die for our sins, and as a gift in return, we receive eternal life for those who follow Him (John 3:16). It is from that sacrifice and generosity that we are given the opportunities in many ways to be generous to the world as reflections of Christ Jesus, and when we choose to live generously and sacrificially, God is pleased with our worship. Pastor Tyler takes us through Hebrews 13:15-16 to teach us more on all of this and how it intertwines with our relationship with God. Phos Church Sunday Sermon 5-4-2025

Before getting into phase 2 of our Holy Trinity slate after finishing our sermon series on the Holy Spirit last week, we’re taking a 2 week intermission with a couple single sermons. Despite society being more technically connected than ever, we also seem to be less truly “present” than ever as well. People are longing for true connection and authentic relationships, needs are present everywhere, and the “good news” of Christ is still unreached in many places. This week, with Pastor Tyler reflecting off of Romans15:23-29, we’re invited to rally as a church (within the walls of our own congregation, as the “church” of believers, and within the community) to support each other, meet the needs of others, and “pay it forward” in whatever ways we can. As “Found People” in Christ, we are to serve, love others, and also “Find People” needing to know the love of Christ. Though life isn’t easy and schedules fill up quickly, we need to do our best to be intentional and “in the moment,” looking for ways to build those relationships within the church and in the community.

Happy Resurrection Day! As we do on every Easter, we celebrate the day that Jesus defeated death. 3 days after voluntarily going to the cross to die for our sins and to give us the way to be reconciled to God, Jesus rises from the dead, not only defeating the power of death, but giving us an eternal living hope in the process. With that, the power of the Holy Spirit was gifted to His disciples on the day of Pentecost 50 days later...but not just for them...it eventually became available to anyone who believes in Him. Believers have access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. So to coincide with this Easter Sunday, we're also finishing up our "Spirit Formed Life" series on the Holy Spirit with this sermon entitled "Filled with Power," referencing Romans 8:10-11.

Every year, we celebrate the most sacrificial act ever done in all of history on Good Friday: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came to earth to live a perfect and sinless life, willingly surrendering Himself to the cross to die for our sins...every single one of them since the beginning of the fall, and into the future. He poured out His Spirit for all of us. Because of this profound event around 2,000 years ago, we have been given the road to be reconciled to God and the gift of eternal life along with it for those who put their faith in Him. Even though Good Friday highlights the death of Jesus, we all know (at this point) that it wasn't the end of the story when it happened, as everything ultimately culminated to His resurrection 3 days later. What a gift to humanity! Phos Church Good Friday Sermon 4-18-2025

One of the most amazing things about being in the body of Christ is the fact that, not only are believers given eternal life, but we're also given spiritual gifts to use in the body of Christ for the good of others. We ALL have a different part to play, working in unison with one another; just like an engine running on all cylinders or a sports team that just seems to flow well together towards victory. And all of those gifts come from the same Spirit. Pastor Tyler continues our Spirit Formed Life series in 1 Corinthians 12, touching on the gifts of the Spirit, how they interplay with all of us, and why it's important.

After a brief recess from "The Spirit Formed Life" series last week to commemorate "Missions Sunday," we jump back into it this week with a sermon on "The Spirit Who Gives." I think it would be fair to say that everyone has had their ups and downs in life, and on a soul level, we have a "hole in our hearts" that we try to fill as we grow and navigate this adventure (whether we're conscious of it or not). We're thirsty. We know something isn't right within the world or within us by default, and so our soul craves something to quench that thirst. Pastor Tyler is in John 7:37-39 this week to give us some insight on how the Holy Spirit brings the living water that we crave so much; the only remedy that will truly alleviate that thirst, while simultaneously overflowing us with life.

Love God. Love the One. Make Disciples. That is Phos Church’s mission. Though that aim is often accomplished in many various ways, one of those ways is through missions trips, and partnering with organizations and programs that share the love of Jesus all throughout the world. To commemorate this, we hosted our very first Missions Conference this weekend to give a more expansive look into what “missions” is, and the different ways you can get involved if that calling is on your heart. Over the course of 3 days, we started with a round-table discussion on Friday evening related to our Kenya mission trip and ministry partnership with Openhand Children’s Home. Saturday morning we hosted John Kirby with The Navigators to hear about some of the work they are doing in the metro Detroit area in relation to ministering to Muslim communities. To cap off the weekend, we hit pause on our current sermon series, and showcase a “Missions Sunday." Rachel Pauwels, a Missions Coach from SEND International, takes the stage to talk more about missions programs in general, as well as what she and SEND International are doing with God in the far east, with a focus on Japan.

In the first 3 weeks of our series on “The Spirit Formed Life,” we’ve learned about how the Holy Spirit works as God within us, how He Leads, and ways in which He speaks to us. Now, we jump into how the Holy Spirit empowers us. Reflecting off of Acts 1:4-8, Pastor Tyler delivers a powerful sermon that focuses on how the Holy Spirit empowers our strength, empowers for purpose, and empowers from within us. It is easy to burnout attempting to do the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. Like a phone that needs a charger in order to receive the power to work, believers in Christ aren’t much different in the sense that we need the Holy Spirit’s power to do the works of God for each of us to accomplish.
