This week we hear from Cameron Johnson (Director of Student Ministry at Redeemer Church in Bellevue and Bible teacher at Summit Classical Christian School) as we come back to our Fruit of the Spirit sermon series.

Continuing our two week break from our Fruit of the Spirit series, we welcome Eric Boles, President of The Game Changers Inc. Speaking from Romans 12:1-2 and Philippians 4:6-8, Eric talks about the work that goes into transformation, the strength that comes from it, and how to be confident and not worry in the midst of it.

Sunder Krishnan is back and in person this time! He continues our Fruit of the Spirit sermon series with the topic of gentleness. Sunder teaches that in order to be gentle or meek it's important to trust God to protect our rights as He sees fit and be angry at the right things, for the right reasons, for the right amount of time.

We welcome back Sunder Krishnan to continue our Fruit of the Spirit sermon series. Sunder teaches how self-control is about being satisfied in the fullness of Christ and being able to say "no," "not now," and "enough" to the things that we indulge in while looking to satisfy our flesh.

This week, we learn about joy from Icon friend Luke Frank as he continues our Fruit of the Spirit sermon series. Luke shares about how the hope we have in the Gospel can lead to an unending joy that is so much more than happiness and outlasts our circumstances.

Elder Ben Wishall continues our Philippians sermon series with week four of eight. in Philippians 2:12-18, Paul writes that we are to "work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you." Elder Ben expounds on how this doesn't mean that God is leaving us to save ourselves, explains how to approach scripture that seems to contradict what we know about God, and teaches how to break the Word down using four practical bible study strategies.

This week we welcome guest preacher Jared Crabtree as we continue with week three of a nine week series through Philippians. Philippians 2:1-11 gives us a glimpse into the very mind of Christ that reveals the life-altering beauty of humility and demonstrates the path He took from the throne of heaven, down into humanity, lower into servanthood, and lower still "...becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."

Icon Elder Ben Wishall continues with week two of a nine week series in Philippians. This week we journey through Philippians 1:19-30. In this section, Paul tells the Philippians, "Let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ." We know that salvation is not earned, it is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone - so what does it mean to live a life worthy of the Gospel?
