What if the blood of Jesus is your VIP pass to the throne room of heaven? Pastor Phil reveals how Christ's sacrifice gives us confidence to approach God—not as nervous visitors, but as beloved children. Like little John F. Kennedy playing under the Oval Office desk, we belong in the Father's presence because of relationship, not performance. Phil challenges us to draw near with true hearts, hold fast to hope, and stir each other toward love through gathering together as the church family. Don't miss this powerful reminder that you have access to the King—dive in now!

At the end of his letter to Timothy, Paul gives instruction to "guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith." In today's message, Pastor Phil reminds us that we need to guard the truth, pursue godliness, and persevere with eternity in view.

The future can feel uncertain, especially when we read what Jesus says about the end times. In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Matthew 24 and explains what the Bible teaches about the Tribulation, God's judgment, and Christ's return.More importantly, we're reminded that Jesus didn't give these teachings to create fear. He gave them to help us stand firm. No matter what the future holds, our hope is found in Christ, the solid foundation that never moves.Send us Fan Mail

Pastor Phil preaches that Christ the Son, as our High Priest who is “perfect forever,” offers us the hope of always being able to come into God's presence.

We have the wonderful opportunity to host Pastor Phil Manginelli as our guest speaker this Sunday in our services. Many among us are familiar with Phil from his six years on our staff as youth pastor, while others have heard him over the years as a regular guest. Phil and his wife (Emily) planted and pastor The Square Church in a suburb of Atlanta. Sent out of Mill Creek Foursquare 14 years ago, they formally launched their congregation 12+ years ago and it has thrived in reaching people with the life and ways of Jesus.

What if you've been sitting so close to the truth that you've stopped feeling its weight? Pastor Phil exposes a chilling reality—like hydrogen sulfide gas that numbs your senses while growing more dangerous—spiritual complacency can make you think you're safe when you're actually in peril. Through Hebrews 6's stark warning about those who taste God's goodness but never truly surrender, Phil distinguishes between being "Christian-like" and "Christ-like." This isn't about losing salvation but about the terrifying possibility of becoming so immunized to grace that genuine repentance becomes impossible. Don't let familiarity breed spiritual numbness—discover where you truly stand before it's too late.

1 Timothy 6:10 tells us that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." Recognizing that to be true, we are called to ask ourselves, "do I love money?" In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches us what 1 Timothy 6 has to say about navigating through times of wealth and times of need. Scripture encourages us towards contentment, generosity, and good deeds.

The world feels unstable, people are anxious, and questions about the future seem louder than ever. In this message, Pastor Phil begins our new series “Ready for His Return” by walking through Matthew 24 and what Jesus actually said about the end times.This message reminds us that Jesus never called His followers to panic, but to stay faithful. As culture shifts and pressure increases, we're challenged to stay rooted in truth, keep our love for God strong, and live with confidence in Christ.Send us Fan Mail

Pastor Phil talks about where we are as a church and how God would have us move forward.

What if the Bible isn't just ancient text but a living force that cuts straight to your soul's deepest needs? Pastor Phil reveals how God's Word isn't passive but energized—like a surgeon's scalpel that precisely exposes our hidden motives and intentions, even when we don't understand ourselves. Through vivid imagery of sword drills and spiritual roadkill, he shows how the same Word that strengthened first-century believers still invites us into God's rest today. Whether you need strengthening, warning, grace, or conviction, this living Word meets you exactly where you are. Don't let your heart grow hard—discover how God's active Word can transform your life right now!

In 1 Timothy 6, Paul gives instructions for slaves, telling them to respect their masters, and to take care to respect their masters who are fellow believers. This passage of scripture surprises us, because we recognize slavery as a moral wrong, and Paul's instructions do not take aim at slavery as an institution. But in today's message, as we humbly study and listen to the wisdom of scripture, Pastor Phil helps us to understand the message of this passage, and what applications it has for our lives today.

Pastor Phil honors and encourages our ladies with the story of Jochebed, Moses' mother. 

What if the very thing anchoring your faith is slowly pulling you away from Jesus? Pastor Phil reveals how first-century believers were drifting from Christ not toward evil, but toward worthy substitutes—Moses, traditions, even church itself. Using the powerful metaphor of God's house, he shows how Moses was a faithful servant, but Jesus is the Son who built the house. Phil challenges us to examine what has the power to make us walk away from church, exposing whether we've unknowingly made good things central instead of Christ. Don't let anything, however meaningful, replace the Savior at your faith's center—dive into this eye-opening message now! 

In 1 Timothy 5, Paul gives Timothy instruction for how elders are to be treated in the church. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies this passage to show that healthy churches care for their leaders, and healthy leaders protect the church.

Staying the Course Acts 13:42-52 Pastor Phil Rushton

What if the God you call upon when life gets heavy has actually walked every step of your hardest road? Jesus didn't save us from a comfortable distance—he "put on human flesh and entered into the full human experience," as Pastor Phil powerfully reminds us. Through his own suffering, rejection, and temptation, Christ became the perfect pioneer who identifies with your struggles, sympathizes with your pain, and actively helps in your moments of weakness. Whether you're battling anxiety, facing temptation, or wrestling with fear, you're calling out to a Savior who says "I've been there" instead of "I wonder what that's like." Don't miss this transformative message about Jesus as your understanding brother and faithful high priest—dive in now!

Everyday Spirituality Acts 9:36-47 Pastor Phil Rushton

What if God's calling your name from across the water right now, waiting to rescue you from where life has taken you? Pastor Phil shares his powerful story of drifting alone on a Michigan lake as a 12-year-old, realizing too late he was stranded without gas or paddles—a perfect picture of how we spiritually drift from God without even realizing it. Through Hebrews, he reveals three warning signs: hardened hearts, stunted growth, and disconnection from other believers. Whether you've slowly drifted or deliberately walked away, this message offers hope that God isn't waiting to punish but to welcome you home. Don't wait—discover how one honest prayer can change your direction today!

A Spirit-Filled Community Acts 2:37-47 Pastor Phil Rushton

What is more important: how you live, or what you believe? In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches through 1 Timothy 4:11-16, and shows us that our lives should reflect our beliefs; we can not follow God without Biblical doctrine, neither without godly living.

In Deuteronomy, we see Israel move from faith to fear. In Joshua, we find four truths that allow us to move from fear to faith as we trust God with our tomorrow. Join us as Pastor Phil teaches on this topic in our continuing series, “One Story: The God Who Draws Near.”

What is the true gospel—and how do you know you are saved through it? In this sermon, Pastor Phil Hopper continue our series through Galatians and reminds us that Jesus plus nothing equals everything.  Walking through Galatians 1, Pastor Phil unpacks Paul's bold claim that the gospel does not include works of man and gives five questions that point to the evidence of salvation in a person's life. If you're wrestling with legalism, doubt about your salvation, or confusion about the gospel, this message will help you rest in Christ alone and respond to His transforming grace.   Connect with us on Social Media↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: https://abundant-life.com/resources/books/ Listen to The Well Podcast⤵ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2   Find Your Next Step:https://alife.livingproof.co/ Watch More Sermons:https://abundant-life.com/sermons/   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

What if the most important message ever sent wasn't through technology, but through a person? Pastor Phil reveals how Samuel Morse's first telegraph message—"What hath God wrought"—pointed to something greater: God speaking not in code or fragments, but clearly through Jesus. While we're bombarded by voices today, Hebrews declares Jesus as the exact imprint of God's glory, solving our sin problem once and for all. Don't get distracted by the wrapping paper when the real gift is right there—experience the clarity and hope this message brings by diving in now!

Empowered for Mission Acts 1:1-11 Pastor Phil Rushton

What if the greatest cure for church dysfunction isn't another program but simply Jesus himself? Pastor Phil reveals how Paul warned the Galatians against "biting and devouring one another" like animals, showing how grace flows into us as freedom but must pour out as service to others. With his Greek tattoos as living illustrations, Phil challenges us to stop treating grace casually and start serving those God has placed around us—not someday, but right now. As Life Point Church grows, this timeless message offers the antidote to internal division that destroys congregations. Don't miss this transformative call to focus on Christ and let grace reshape how you love your church family—watch now!

Pastor Phil addresses the theme in these verses: whether God has rejected Israel after their rejection of Christ. Despite Israel's disobedience throughout history, God emphatically declares He has not abandoned His chosen people. Using Paul's example of Elijah, who thought he was alone but discovered God had preserved 7,000 faithful believers, Pastor Phil explains the doctrine of the remnant. Even in times of national apostasy, God always preserves a faithful few who refuse to bow to cultural idols. God's promises to Israel remain as permanent as the laws of nature, demonstrating His unchanging character and faithfulness to all His people.

In the conclusion to our study of the roles of men and women, Pastor Phil teaches on how we can apply the principles of scripture regarding church conduct to the context of what church looks like today. We are reminded to pursue unity, and that our unity as a church is centered on the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this Easter sermon from Luke 23:32-43, Pastor Phil looks at how the crucifixion reveals both humanity's rejection of Christ and God's mercy for sinners. This passage shows that salvation is not earned but received, offering hope, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life to anyone who trusts in Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

What if you're looking so hard for what you expect that you miss what God has actually done? Mary stood weeping at an empty tomb, talking to angels as if it were ordinary, searching for a corpse while the living Jesus stood beside her. Pastor Phil reveals how the two seated angels mirror the Old Testament mercy seat—but this time, the work is forever finished. Like Mary, we often live stuck on Good Friday when it's already Easter morning, still striving for what Christ already completed. Don't miss His voice calling your name today—watch this powerful message and step into the freedom He's already won!

Come and SeeMatthew 27:65-28:10 Pastor Phil Rushton

On Easter, we rejoice that our Savior Jesus Christ is alive! In today's message, Pastor Phil preaches on the living hope found in Jesus. Through Jesus, we have strength in adversity, freedom from sin, and hopeful expectation for the future.

Have you ever bought something hoping for an instant fix, only to discover real change requires commitment? Drawing from his own experience with a golf training aid, Pastor Phil reveals how Palm Sunday mirrors our expectations of Jesus. Like the crowds who welcomed Christ as king but abandoned him days later, we often want a Savior who serves our agenda rather than transforms our hearts. Through powerful insights from Luke 19, Phil challenges us to see Jesus as more than a quick solution—He's the King who gave His life and deserves our complete devotion. Don't miss this compelling message about moving beyond convenient faith to authentic discipleship.

In the original Greek of 1 Timothy Chapter 3, in verse 11, we encounter a word which presents some difficulty in translation, speaking either about the wives of deacons, or about women who are deacons. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies a number of good reasons given for both possible translations, and teaches that, as a principle, we learn from this verse that women can do diaconal work.

It's what you leave in them.

Pastor Phil continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, preaching from Matthew 13:24–30 and 36–43. In this message, he unpacks the Parable of the Weeds, showing how God is at work in a world where good and evil grow side by side. While evil is real and present, we are reminded that God is patient, judgment is coming, and He is faithfully carrying out His greater plan. As we wait for the final harvest, we are called to trust God's timing, remain faithful, and stay focused on the mission of sharing the good news of the gospel.

Have you ever felt the subtle drift from victory to vulnerability? In Nehemiah's final chapter, we witness how success can become a spiritual pitfall. Pastor Phil draws powerful parallels between ancient Jerusalem's drift and our modern temptation to let triumph lead to complacency. Through four sobering signs—compromised worship, neglected giving, ignored rhythms of rest, and future compromise—we see how drift doesn't announce itself but slowly erodes what matters most. This timely message reminds us that maintaining faithfulness requires more than occasional celebration; it demands consistent, Spirit-led vigilance. Don't miss this crucial warning and hope-filled reminder that Jesus offers more than behavioral reform—He transforms hearts. Watch now to safeguard your spiritual vitality.

Play The Long Game | Reaching Into Their Future | Dr. Nate Ruch and Pastor Phil Johnson by Emmanuel Christian Center

Have you ever faced a moment where truth demanded action, but pressure pushed you toward silence? Like NASA engineer Alan McDonald before the Challenger disaster, Pastor Phil explores how responding to God's truth can mean the difference between tragedy and transformation. Through Nehemiah 8-10, we witness an extraordinary spiritual revival sparked not by emotional manipulation, but by people hungry for God's Word. This message unpacks how true renewal flows from hearing, understanding, and submitting to Scripture—moving us from conviction to hope, and ultimately to joy. Don't miss this powerful reminder that "the joy of the Lord is your strength" and discover how God's Word can spark authentic revival in your own life.

In the final message of this series, Pastor Phil explores one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's history—the fall of Jericho. reveals as a timeless lesson of faith, obedience, and divine authority. Just as Jericho's walls represented Israel's barrier to the Promised Land, our personal “Jerichos” symbolize strongholds—fear, doubt, pride, or unbelief—that hinder us from living the abundant life in Christ. Through prayer, worship, obedience, and faith, we experience what only God's power can achieve: spiritual victory and transformation! Learn why true victory begins with submission to Jesus, the Commander of our lives, and how faith in action is the key to possessing your promised land.

In Part 7 of our “From Bondage to Abundance” series, Pastor Phil walks through Joshua 5:1-12 and shows how God leads His people from wilderness wandering into a life of victory in the Promised Land. Crossing the Jordan means advancing against the enemy and taking back stolen territory. But when you do, the battles are just beginning. The Hebrews would fight more battles in the Promised Land than they ever did in the wilderness. Through these battles, they were able to live in victory, freedom, and abundance.Before you can win the war without, you've got to win the war within. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how to win the war within so you can live on mission and walk in freedom and abundance.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources       https://livingproof.co/resources/books Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

In every generation, God raises up shepherds who are willing to speak the truth—even when it costs them. In this Shepherds in the Storm episode, I'm joined by my friend Pastor Phil Hopper, lead pastor of Abundant Life Church, to talk about why the church was never meant to be silent. We unpack the fear keeping pastors quiet, why today's biggest issues are biblical—not political—and why courage in the pulpit matters more than ever. If you're a pastor, church leader, or believer longing for clarity and conviction in a confusing culture, this conversation will encourage you.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

In a recent episode of the Kingdom Crossroads podcast, host T.S. Wright and Pastor Phil Tague shared invaluable insights on fostering a culture of spiritual ownership within the church, aiming for revival that starts from the grassroots level.Main Content:1. **The Vision for 2026** Pastor Phil emphasizes that while the mission of the church remains unchanged, the vision can evolve. In 2026, his church is aiming to see 5,000 individuals set free in Christ over the next five years. This goal isn't merely about numbers; it's about fostering genuine spiritual transformation. Phil believes we are in a pre-revival era, particularly among younger generations, and that it is crucial for church members to take responsibility for their faith and the spaces they occupy.2. **The Call for Spiritual Responsibility** One of the key themes discussed is the need for laypeople to embrace their role as spiritual leaders in their communities. Phil stresses that revival will not stem from charismatic preachers alone but from everyday believers taking ownership of their faith. He notes that every member of the church is a priest in their own right, and they must recognize their power to influence those around them. T.S. Wright echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of getting church members to take the message outside the church walls and into their daily lives.3. **Practical Steps for Implementation** Pastor Phil shares practical steps his church is taking to implement this vision. They have focused on preparing their staff and congregation for the upcoming changes by instilling the concept of spiritual ownership. This preparation includes prayer meetings and discussions on the importance of discipleship. Phil highlights the significance of creating an invite culture within the church, where members are encouraged to bring friends and family to events and services, fostering a community of growth.4. **Creating Conditions for Growth** Throughout the conversation, a metaphor emerges: the gardener's role in preparing the field for growth. Phil reminds listeners that while we can't control the harvest, we can prepare the conditions for it. He references the biblical story of Elisha and the widow, illustrating that the miracle of revival happens when believers prepare their hearts and communities for God's work. The responsibility lies in creating an environment ripe for growth, where spiritual hunger can flourish.5. **The Importance of Prayer and Meditation** The discussion also touches on the power of prayer and meditation on God's Word. Both T.S. and Phil advocate for the practice of praying for guidance and opportunities to share faith with others. By asking God to place someone in their path to reach, believers can align their hearts with God's will and actively engage in their communities.Conclusion: As we...
