Next Chapter: 39 & Counting!

Sermon Quick Summary

Today, South Bay Community Church is celebrating its 39th anniversary. We reflect on all God has done over these past decades, and look ahead to what God will do in the years ahead, for God never leaves us nor forsakes us. Philippians 1:6: "I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" gives a solid framework as we look back and look forward with our eyes on God. We have completed a series called “Next Chapter” about God’s invitation to live into our purpose, live with passion, live through perseverance, and live in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Greek biblical language in Philippians 1:6 for “you” is plural, not singular; Paul is talking about the good work of the entire community of believers begun in us as the family of the body of Christ. We are called by God to live into our purpose both individually and as a connected community. When living into our passion, we have confidence that ignites joy. When facing challenges, we persevere by God’s Faithfulness. As we live into the Power of Walking in the Holy Spirit, God’s anointing falls on us. With faith in God, we move forward.
