We're surrounded by a culture whose kingdom is not of God, one where complaining is normal and division is encouraged. We are encouraged to live differently and to shine like stars.โดย Soma Federal Way

We are called to work out our salvation in light of Jesus' humility and exaltation. But what does that mean? We explore the work of God in our lives to give us the desire and ability to follow Him.โดย Soma Federal Way

The one who is eternally equal with God empties himself to death on the cross for the love of the world. We explore the most profound passage in all of Philippians.โดย Soma Federal Way
