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.

Onward into week 3 of The Spirit Formed Life, the topic we’re focusing on is “The Spirit Who Speaks.” In many cultures around the world nowadays, things are louder than ever, clamoring for our attention. Phones with every app conceivable in our pockets, interconnected business, never-ending news and social feeds, television, video games…you name it…silence and stillness seem relatively difficult to come by without being very intentional about seeking it. This isn’t to say that technology is bad, but with it, streams of information have also become more and more available at our fingertips all the time, and it’s no wonder we’re more anxious than ever. This week, Pastor Tyler dives into some of the ways in which we can slow down, quiet the noise, and listen for the Holy Spirit who speaks to us in multiple ways. Phos Church Sunday Sermon: 3-16-2025

This week, we continue our fresh new series on the Holy Spirit. Today we're referencing Romans 8:12-17. Pastor Tyler dives deep into how the Holy Spirit leads us in our lives. We're always being led by something, and Scripture tells us that by following the Holy Spirit, it leads to life...but if you follow anything else, it will ultimately lead to destruction. Even as believers in Christ, temptations and "following the flesh" are still realities that we fight against...and though we won't walk the path perfectly, following the Spirit will ultimately lead to glory and away from the flesh.

Today we start in a brand new sermon series, which will actually be part of a larger 3-part slate on the Holy Trinity. We're starting this first series with the Holy Spirit, entitled "The Spirit Formed Life." We'll be focusing on who He is, what He does, and how it affects and transforms our lives amidst the Christian walk. This week, Pastor Tyler starts things off in 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, touching on the veil that lifts when we're walking in the Spirit, as well as what freedom in the Spirit looks like in comparison to how worldly culture tends to view freedom.

"The book of Job isn't about why we suffer. It's about who God is." -Pastor Tyler Whitcomb If you want to sum up the last 7 weeks on our series in the book of Job, the quote above will give you that. Though suffering is more than prevalent in the book of Job, as we learned last week, we don't always receive all the exact answers to specific situations. But there is a plan to all of it. Now in week 8, we're finishing the Wounds & Wisdom series in Job 42, where we see redemption and restoration come into Job's life by the hand of God. We see (spoiler alert) his life become one of thriving again, and blessings and possessions doubled for Job in comparison from what he had before. But this isn't fully about the physical blessings, nor is it meant to be a depiction of prosperity gospel. It was a spiritual and physical foreshadowing of what was on the horizon at the time as part of God's plan (Jesus), as well as what awaits us down the road in terms of redemption and restoration for all of creation.

We're in the penultimate week of our Wounds & Wisdom series. Pastor Tyler continues on in the book of Job, focusing on the first portion of chapter 42. Last week, we saw God answering Job's questions with many questions of His own for Job...in essence, really putting Job in his place as a human. As an example, God says in Job 38:4, "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding." In other words, God is displaying his sovereignty and power over all things. Once God finishes His monologue, Job really becomes enlightened to the reality of God and comes to repentance.

Continuing on in our Wounds and Wisdom series this week, we skip ahead to Job 38. Over the course of the book we’ve covered over the last 5 weeks, we see God’s sovereignty over Job’s life circumstances, terrible loss and affliction, friends who console but also misjudge, and many chapters of lament. Job has questions…and God finally answers, but not in the way he (or we as the readers) might’ve been expecting. Instead of direct explanations, God brings to the table a much grander perspective for Job to contemplate. Within this, we’re also given a picture of God’s power and authority over all of our life circumstances. Though it is not easy for us to understand why certain things occur in our lives, we have to hold onto God being there for us in the storm, and trust with faith that He’s got us in the midst of it.

Elder Joseph Lasslett continues our Wounds & Wisdom series this week in Job 19. Last week, we covered how a few of Job's friends brought different perspectives and (incorrect) ideas as to why they thought he was suffering....which didn't help one bit during his trials. This week, we see Job's lament and reply to his friends' accusations. But we also see a glimmer of hope within Job's spirit. "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth" (Job 19:25 ESV). We see that, despite Job's continuous suffering and lament, he proclaims with confidence that the living God will redeem this whole situation at some point. Phos Church Sunday Sermon: 2-2-2025
