The closing chapter of Philippians seems to oscillate between extremely specific remarks and some thoughts that are truly general. Being separated in time and culture from the first audience, we naturally gravitate towards the grand sweeping statements. Interestingly, the very fact these are abstracted from specific circumstances makes them more (not less) practical. We dwell on the idea of "fixing our thoughts on what is true", and are fascinated by how the "peace of God" relates to the "God of peace".

Paul highlights that Christ is our confidence, and makes a vivid contrast with the attitude of confidence in our own human effort. It is remarkable that the contrast is illustrated not by "worldly" aspirations or desires, but rather by religious adherence. Despite "obeying the law without fault", Paul considers his religious accomplishments to be worthless compared to knowing Jesus. We explore this comparison, and ponder what it means to know Christ.

Colleen and Nikki study through Romans 14:17–18. Does your church or belief system include rules concerning your diet? Do you follow a prophet that taught that you become like the animals you eat? Did you know that the Seventh-day Adventist organization helped create large food companies that produced highly refined artificial meat products?Music: Falling Awake © 2010 Nathanael Tinker.

How do Adventist pastors' own education and experiences shape their support for Adventist schools?

Is the church meant to be a private club—or a force for public good?In this compelling message delivered to the Oakridge Adventist Church community, we're challenged to re-examine what it truly means to be the church in a modern, urban, Canadian context. Beginning with an unexpected conversation at airport security, this message unfolds into a powerful reflection on public benefit, faith, and the radical mission Jesus entrusted to His followers.Drawing from Scripture, Canadian public policy, and Adventist history, we're reminded that the church was never meant to exist only for its own comfort. From the Great Commission given in a war zone, to Adventist pioneers who practiced civil disobedience for compassion's sake, this message calls us back to our courageous roots.What would it look like for the church today to take holy risks again—serving single parents, welcoming the marginalized, and spending ourselves for the good of our city?This episode invites you to wrestle with hard questions, rediscover gospel-centered courage, and imagine a church that exists not just for its members—but for the flourishing of the whole community.Visit Us at oacvancouver.ca We believe that Jesus is needed and relevant for people in Vancouver today. The message of God's love and promise of wholeness was destined to be experienced within a faith community that worships, studies scripture and prays together. Let us warmly welcome you to journey with us toward greater connection, purpose and peace.

Have you ever waited to hear from a friend who had moved to another city? Perhaps you heard about them from others, but waited anxiously to hear from them personally. Did you begin to doubt their friendship?
