Soma Federal Way Sermons

God's generosity is on full display as He generously offers life to the dirt creatures, gives them land to work, and the command to enjoy.

We look at the origins and foundations of our lives and God's Word, seeking answers to what motivates and forms our understanding of ourselves, God, and the whole world.

As we conclude our Return & Remind series, several of our elders share their heart and vision for the Soma family.

The Philippians were more generous to Paul than any other church despite their suffering and need. We explore the call to be generous partners in God's kingdom.

In a final appeal, Paul focuses on the thoughts of the church. We explore what we are called to think about as Citizens of God's Kingdom.

Paul has many reasons to boast, but he'd rather boast in Christ than anything. In opposition to the way of those opposing Jesus, Paul lays out an approach to humility that puts Jesus at the center.

Paul commends two different servants, Timothy and Epaphroditus, as examples to follow when it comes to serving Christ.

We're surrounded by a culture whose kingdom is not of God, one where complaining is normal and division is encouraged. We are encouraged to live differently and to shine like stars.

We are called to work out our salvation in light of Jesus' humility and exaltation. But what does that mean? We explore the work of God in our lives to give us the desire and ability to follow Him.

The one who is eternally equal with God empties himself to death on the cross for the love of the world. We explore the most profound passage in all of Philippians.

He is Risen! On this Easter Sunday, we see that the cross on Friday brings an exaltation on Sunday where Jesus is now Lord of all!

Encouragement in Christ, consolation from love, sharing in the spirit, and compassion and sympathy are the motives for us to be united in Christ.

Who holds your primary allegiance? Paul reminds the Philippians and us of our primary allegiance to God's Kingdom, and calls us to be united with those on our same team.

To live is Christ, and to die is gain. These profound words, said almost 2,000 years ago, speak to the heart of a disciple of Jesus and invite us to find our lives caught up in the life of Christ.

Even in a problematic imprisonment, Paul encourages the church to proclaim the gospel with pure motives. We dissect our false motives and bring the goodwill Jesus desires for us to light.

As we gather with our friends at Lifeway Church to kick off their Community Impact Celebration week, we are reminded of the vision for gospel saturation.

Paul introduces his letter witha prayer for his brothers and sisters in Philippi and reminds them of the joy that comes from experiencing the partnership (koinonia) of the gospel.

Paul encourages the church in Philippi to orient their whole lives to advancing the gospel by living as citizens of God's kingdom rather than the empire. This week, we introduce the book of Philippians.
