Sideris Church
We will be taking the Sunday after Resurrection Sunday to discuss the next event in the history of Jesus’ life and the Jesus movement — The Ascension. These days, it is often an overlooked part of the historical account, but it was not for the Apostles or the early church. So come this Sunday to learn about its importance and be reminded of the reason it’s not the full gospel without it!

Philippians 4:10-23 | This Sunday we will explore Pauls final sentences to the Philippians and the *secret* he has buried in his conclusion.

Philippians 4:8-9 || Through the pen of Paul, God commands us “Dwell on THESE things.” What are "these things" and what will the effect be? We will come to see that "dwelling" means more than mere passive awareness, but demands our active consideration and reflection. Paul emphasizes that genuine knowledge of the good, the true, and the beautiful requires that we practice such things as well.

Philippians 4:6-7 |We get to look at a passage that seems almost impossible to live out.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:1-9 As a total coincidence we have reached the passage that is the inspiration for the Women's Retreat Philippians 4:4 -- "Rejoice! Again I say Rejoice!" It will be so cool to be of "one mind" with those away on the Retreat and then be able to share in our new and deepening understanding of "Rejoicing in the Lord" when they return!

Philippians 3:17-21 It's a joy to look up into the heavens with you all each Sunday as we sing and proclaim the mysteries of the gospel, the gospel that assures us there is a kingdom above that God has granted us access to by His mercy and grace. It's a realm our souls long for and one that Paul assures us has the capacity to provide meaning and energy for every single day we pursue it here on earth. I can't wait to unpack all these kingdom dynamics present at the end of chapter 3 together.

Philippians 3:7-14 | On our 11th anniversary as a church God's timing is perfect as we come across this passage that describes the mentality that has so helped us along as we have traversed the last 11 years together as a church plant. It was my awesome mother Heidi who always told me and my sisters growing up: “Do your best and flush the rest” and I never quite realized how biblical this motherly advice was... until this week study Philippians 3. Listen to hear why.

Philippians 3:1-11 | We're looking forward to continuing our journey through Philippians this Sunday. If you remember, Pastor Dave provided the context for Paul's warning to the church he had founded: "Watch out! There are religious dogs that have a habit of harassing the gospel communities I establish!" This week we will move on to look at the next logical consideration which is: "And watch out for that dog within!" What's great about a consideration like this is that it provides us the opportunity to think about how God uniquely draws near to each of us whispering messages of life that resonate with our hearts to bring us joy.

Philippians 3:1-11 | I'm looking forward to our conversations this Sunday as we have finally arrived at Chapter 3 of Philippians! This week we will get to do a whole sermon about dogs! Now, this might not be as cute and cuddly as one might think, but it is sure to be a great conversation about how to avoid the joy-killers that surround us.

Philippians 2:19-30 | This Sunday, we get to look at two men of faith in Philippians 2 -- Timothy and Epaphroditus. These men were used by God to minister to Paul's tangible needs and are also responsible for taking the message of God's Grace to many in their day. For this work Paul honors them both, but what's more, God has honored them in an unbelievable way by preserving their story for us to learn from.

Philippians 2:12-14 | On this first Sunday of 2026 we get to hear from "the professor" as he teaches us how to read our Bibles for all they are worth. He will do this while simultaneously unpacking a historically "pointy" passage, wrought with all sorts of landmines. It just happens to be the next verse we encounter in our study of Philippians, chapter 2. So what does Paul mean -- and not mean -- when he writes "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" and how can we live out this verse in the healthiest of ways.

The Coming of Strange Love is an Advent sermon that explores the unexpected, disruptive, and transformative love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. As we prepare our hearts during the Advent season, this message invites us to reflect on a love that does not arrive gently or predictably—but enters the world in humility, sacrifice, and grace. Drawing from Scripture and the themes of Advent, this sermon challenges common assumptions about love, power, and salvation. Rather than meeting our expectations, God’s love comes to us in surprising ways—calling us to repentance, hope, and renewed faith. This message is especially relevant for anyone wrestling with doubt, longing for meaning, or seeking deeper spiritual renewal during the Christmas season. Whether you are walking through Advent devotionally, listening as part of a sermon series, or simply searching for a Christ-centered reflection, this episode offers biblical insight and encouragement rooted in the gospel.

Philippians 2:12–18 | Pastor Ryan explores what it means to shine like stars in the world as Paul writes in Philippians 2. Through the biblical vision of Advent, we discover that Jesus is not only the Light who came and the Light who will come again—He is the Light who is still present now through His people. This message unpacks the deep, ancient concept of shalom—not just the absence of conflict, but the restoration of God’s full tapestry of harmony in all relationships: with God, with one another, and with creation itself. As we celebrate Advent, we learn how Christ’s “strange light” shines through us through humility, unity, sacrifice, and courageous peacemaking. If you’re longing for the peace Jesus brings—or wondering how His light can shine through your everyday life—you’ll be encouraged, challenged, and invited into something bigger than yourself.
