Your scars don't disqualify you—they testify that the enemy tried to take you out, but couldn't. What you call broken, God calls redeemed.

We've all had regrets.  Things we wish we said differently, choices we wish we hadn't made, or opportunities we wish we hadn't missed. But what if the most spiritually dangerous thing in your life isn't what you're doing wrong, but what you're not doing at all?In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks Jesus' story from Matthew 25 about the servants entrusted with bags of gold. It's a reminder that every one of us has been given something of value from God—something to make the world better. The question is: what are we doing with it?Send us a text

What If | People Get Ready | Pastor Phil Johnson by Emmanuel Christian Center

In this opening sermon from our 1 Thessalonians series, Pastor Phil looks at Paul's simple yet powerful greeting: “Grace to you and peace.” Behind these words is the reminder that God preserves his church, even in a hostile culture. In Christ, we are given a new identity, rooted in God's grace and marked by his peace, and we're called to live faithfully as citizens of heaven. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Pastor Phil's series in 1st Corinthians explores the Apostle Paul's letter to one of the first local churches. He addresses their struggles and challenges to stay unified as a diverse Body of Christ. We quickly discover that we're not so different today.

In Acts 8, Philip meets a man who had every reason to be excluded—an Ethiopian eunuch, rejected in the temple, treated as an outsider, and told he had no future. And yet, when he asks, “Is there anything to keep me from being baptized?” Philip's answer is simple: “No. Get the water.”In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks what this story means for us today. Baptism isn't about fitting a mold—it's about being welcomed into Christ, into His way, into His body, and into His resurrection life. No matter your past, your story, or the labels you've carried—there is nothing keeping you from belonging.

In Psalm 44, we read of a nation's cry to God: the people of God are living justly, and yet they are suffering. And unlike so many of the other Psalms, this outpouring doesn't end with a resolution about how everything will be worked out in time--it simply ends in the midst of its heartbreak. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores the teachings of this Psalm, and shows us how we can bring our worries to God--and that our hope is to hold on to the love of Christ.

Mustard SeedLuke 13:18-19Pastor Phil Rushton

Pastor Phil's series in 1st Corinthians explores the Apostle Paul's letter to one of the first local churches. He addresses their struggles and challenges to stay unified as a diverse Body of Christ. We quickly discover that we're not so different today.

This week, Pastor Phil unpacks Paul's words in Galatians about freedom and what it means to live by the Spirit instead of falling back into performance or rule-keeping. He draws on Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, showing how the Spirit is like the wind—unseen, unpredictable, but always present. Living in the Spirit isn't about striving harder or checking religious boxes. It's about awakening to God's presence, opening our spiritual eyes and ears, and letting His love shape our lives.

The Parable of the Barn Builder Luke 12:16-21 Pastor Phil Rushton

In Psalm 62, we are shown that if we trust in anything or in anyone besides God, our hope will be misplaced. Psalm 62 tells us to wait on the Lord, and on Him alone. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores what it means to wait on the Lord, and the ways we may be tempted to put our hope in wealth or in other people.

What was the law ever really for?In this message, Pastor Phil walks us through one of Paul's boldest arguments in Galatians—that the law was never the goal. It was a guardian, a teacher, even a protector. But eventually, it gave way to something more powerful: love. We explore how Jesus fulfilled the law not by abolishing it, but by revealing its heart—and how grace invites us into something deeper than rule-keeping.This isn't about being lawless. It's about learning how to love.

Pastor Phil continued our “Rest on Us” series with a powerful and timely message on spiritual warfare. As children of God, it's essential that we recognize both who we are fighting against and how to prepare for the battle. Spiritual warfare is real—just as real as the physical world we live in. Every day, we are engaged in a battle that isn't visible to the natural eye but has very real consequences. If we don't understand our adversary, we risk being overcome. That's why awareness and preparation are vital. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us of the true nature of our struggle: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Satan is a master of deception. He knows how to plant seeds of doubt in our minds, twist the truth, and build arguments that subtly turn us away from God. His attacks often come in the form of mental and emotional warfare—aimed at discouraging us, confusing us, and making us question our identity in Christ. But we are not powerless. Through God's Word, we learn to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Instead of being ruled by our feelings, we are called to stand on godly truth—truth that doesn't shift with emotion or circumstance. The blood of Jesus has broken the chains of sin and shame. We are no longer captives. Satan wants us to forget that—weakened, distracted, and bound by lies. But God calls us to remember who we are and to walk daily in the freedom He has already secured for us. Missed last night's message?
