In this segment Dr. Ellefson takes us on an interesting exploration of Colossians while teaching us "who He is" -God and Jesus the Mediator also who we are.

Chad Ellefson, a recently elected Elder of Uflourish Church, takes us through Philippians 2:19-30, unpacking Paul's inspiring words about Timothy and Epaphroditus - two followers of Jesus who labored alongside Paul in building the early church at great sacrifice and risk. Today we too are called to live beyond ourselves, walking open-handedly with God that he might work through us to build others up. As we lay down our self-interest, we actually find the abundant life Jesus promises to those who will follow after him.

Uflourish Church member and lay minister Dr. Kimara Ellefson continues our series in Philippians with chapter 1, verses 12-18, unpacking the ways Paul's persecution actually advanced the Gospel and his perspective through it all challenges us today to humbly follow God's leading through any trials of our own.
