John 1:1-18 Topping the list of 2,000 people in the recently published study “Who Is Bigger?” Jesus Christ continues to inspire, intrigue and infuriate people across the world.

James 3:13-4:10In sport we witness and experience the joy of victory and the sorrow of defeat. But in the end it’s only a game. The Christian life however is not a game. How can we make sure we are living victorious Christian lives rather than defeated ones? This passage tells us.
Philippians 2:12-30 Often we know the right course of action- we know to be selfless, we know to be kind, but we’re still tempted to sell out and not hold fast to that course. Listen in as Paul calls the Philippians to keep going in selfless service and the mind-blowing motivation he gives them.
