This week our guest speaker, Pastor Phil, invites us to reimagine the Christian life not as something we do for God, but with God. Drawing from John 15 and Matthew 11, he unpacks Jesus' invitation to walk in intimate friendship and shared burden. Through his personal stories and illustrations, we're challenged to see mission as a daily journey of presence, rest, and partnership with Christ.
Earthly investments can grow, but only Kingdom investments last forever. In this message from Philippians 4, Pastor Phil explores how giving is partnership, blessing, worship, and honored by God. Our generosity impacts eternity and reflects our hearts, and like the Philippians, we're called to invest in what matters most, God's Kingdom work. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
Our beliefs drive our behaviors. Preaching from Deuteronomy 10, Pastor Phil shows us that if we know Who God Is and what He has done, then we should respond accordingly.

It is Finished John 19:28-37 Pastor Phil Rushton
In today's sermon, Pastor Phil introduces the book of Deuteronomy, which contains messages from Moses, nearing the end of his life, to the nation of Israel. In Deuteronomy 4, Moses tells Israel to listen to the laws he is about to teach, and reminds them of recent events in their history--the giving of the 10 commandments, and the destruction of those who followed Baal. From this chapter, Pastor Phil draws out 4 principles for our walk with God: that we should "remember Who God is, respond to His character and faithfulness, repent of your sin, and receive the abundant grace that God freely offers each and every day."
