PHILIPPIANS I The Secret
Philippians 4:10-23 I Derek Jones I April 30, 2026As we wrap up the book of Philippians and the semester, we’re left with this question: what if there was a way to live where your life doesn’t fall apart, no matter the circumstance? Paul shows us that kind of life is marked by contentment. Not a fleeting feeling, but a steady, lasting peace that must be learned. The secret isn’t found in what we have, it’s found in Jesus. True contentment comes from walking with Him, not chasing after anything else to fill what only He can.Contentment isn’t something you feel, it’s something you embody. It produces a life that is steady, generous, and bold. When you’re rooted in Christ, you’re freed to give, to serve, and to keep sharing the gospel with conviction. You don’t invite Jesus into your plans, you follow Him into His. Are you available for the work God wants to do in and through you?

PHILIPPIANS I The Peace
Philippians 4:1-9 I RJ Frahm I April 23, 2026Standing firm is “in the Lord.” Your stability comes from being rooted in Christ. If you don’t know who you are in Him, you’ll look for identity somewhere else. Real joy comes from standing firm in the Lord. It means living aware that God is with you now and is coming again, and that truth reshapes your life.Bring your anxiety, fear, and uncertainty honestly to Jesus. Prayer doesn’t have to be polished, it just has to be real. We don’t drift into peace, we drift into anxiety, so we must actively meet with the God of peace. Remove what feeds anxiety, interrupt it by naming it, praying it, and replacing it, and build a life that can hold peace. Standing firm isn’t a moment, it’s a way of life.

PHILIPPIANS I The Prize
Philippians 3:12-21 I Dakota Jackson I April 16, 2026We can spend our lives building a legacy for this life, or live for one that lasts into eternity, a life that exalts Christ. The invitation is simple but costly, relentlessly pursue Jesus. The goal isn’t comfort or achievement, it’s more and more of Him. Some of us love the benefits of Jesus more than we love Jesus, so what’s on the throne of your heart? When confronted with sin, do you repent or defend it?Real joy is found in the will of God. Run hard after Jesus, leverage your life for Him, and ask what He wants to do with your life. At the end of it all, the prize isn’t what Jesus gives, the prize is Jesus.

PHILIPPIANS I The Goal
Philippians 3:1-11 I Derek Jones I April 9, 2026None of us have life fully figured out, we’re all carrying baggage. Culture constantly tells us to trust ourselves, but Scripture calls us to put no confidence in the flesh. Anything we rely on to feel right with God that isn’t Jesus won’t last. Real confidence is found in Christ.Like Paul, we’re invited to let go of confidence in both our sin and our success to know Him more. So what are you counting on? Maybe it’s time to drop the bags, both the good and the bad, and run after Him.

PHILIPPIANS I Obedience
Philippians 2:12-30 I Nick Harsh I March 26, 2026This week at Salt, we looked at what it means to live as citizens of heaven. While our culture drifts toward anxiety, complaining, and sarcasm, Jesus calls us to something different: radical obedience, defiant joy, and sacrificial love. Not to earn salvation, but to live from it.If we want to be a force for good and an effective witness, it starts here: with lives shaped daily by Jesus, in community, empowered by Him.https://embassybtown.org/salt

PHILIPPIANS I Humility
Philippians 2:1-10 I RJ Frahm I March 12, 2026This week at Salt, RJ opened up Philippians 2 and walked us through Paul’s call to humility.We often think humility comes from trying harder, but Scripture shows us a different way. True humility is formed at the foot of the cross. This is where we see that we are more sinful than we thought, yet more loved than we ever imagined. When those truths collide, pride begins to melt and Christ becomes our focus.Are you striving for humility, or are you looking to Jesus?https://embassybtown.org/salt

PHILIPPIANS I Lives worthy of the Gospel
Philippians 1:20-30 I Derek Jones I March 5, 2026As we continue through the book of Philippians, Derek tackles the question “What are you living for?"The apostle Paul claims “To live is Christ and to die is gain.” When Christ is our greatest treasure, life becomes fruitful work, and death becomes eternal glory. But you can’t truly see death as gain till you see Christ as beautiful. Are you living life in light of the gospel? https://embassybtown.org/salt

PHILIPPIANS I Successful Suffering
Philippians 1:12-20 I Chris Cook I February 26, 2026Persecution is promised if you follow Jesus but what does that actually mean? Chris walks us through the promise, the paradox, and the purpose of persecution. He talks about how suffering isn’t wasted and how God can use our pain to bring about a kind of goodness we never would’ve expected. The gospel doesn’t remove suffering, it reshapes how we see it.https://embassybtown.org/salt

PHILIPPIANS I The start of a good work
Philippians 1:1-11 I Derek Jones I February 12, 2026What if these four years of college could shape the next forty years of your life?Philippians opens with a bold invitation into gospel partnership, a shared mission that gives direction to everything else. Maybe our problem isn’t a lack of stimulation, but a lack of purpose. Tune in as we talk about building a foundation that lasts.@saltindiana I https://embassybtown.org/salt
