In this episode of the Village Church podcast, Pastor Mark brings us to the closing words of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Here, Paul extends an invitation—an invitation to let our service to one another become a living testimony to the joy of following Jesus. This is no mere duty but a shared participation in the story of Christ, a story that shapes us and, in turn, becomes part of the spiritual inheritance we leave for others. Pastor Mark unpacks how this joyful service is not only a response to grace but also a profound act of grace itself.
The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
