A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Philippians 3:12-16. The Christian life is not a race we have already finished, but a lifelong pursuit of knowing and becoming more like Jesus Christ. In this text, Paul reminds us that this pursuit is not just for a select few, but for every believer.

Big Idea: Your work will not bring you ultimate fulfillment, but trusting God and His purposes will. Work Can Be Futile - So Focus on God’s Goodness Work is Brief - So Focus on God’s Providence Work is Unknown - So Focus on God’s Promises

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Selected Scriptures. Is money a blessing to be enjoyed, a danger to be avoided, or something else entirely? In this sermon, we explore the timeless wisdom of Proverbs and discover God's balanced perspective on wealth and possessions. Big Idea: Wise stewardship of wealth means giving generously, working diligently, holding loosely, and trusting God completely. God gives wealth because He is generous, yet He gives because He wants you to give Diligent work often produces wealth, yet living for wealth produces folly Lending can be an act of generosity, yet borrowing places you in bondage Saving for the future is wise, yet future savings should never become your source of security
