Weekend Recap – God’s Promises to Sufferers

March 21, 2023 by Phil Auxier

On 3/19/23, I preached the final sermon in our Job series at Crestview – God’s Gracious Promises to Sufferers (Job 40:6-42:17). This passage of Scripture is “infamous” for mentioning Behemoth and Leviathan. So, I tried to deal with these descriptions and connect them to Job’s experience at the end of the book. I hope it encourages you.

Weekend Recap – Questions in Suffering

February 20, 2023 by Phil Auxier

This weekend, my sermon at Crestview was from Job 19, Questions in Suffering. Job 19 is best known for its “I know that my Redeemer lives” section. I tried to show how Job’s answer to Bildad’s accusation in chapter 18 opened the door for some questions we face in suffering. We dug into many applications related to suffering, the church, and Jesus. I hope it encourages you.

Weekend Recap – Problems in Suffering

February 6, 2023 by Phil Auxier

My 2/5/23 sermon, Problems in Suffering (Job 9), is online. It got into some hairy parts of the question of suffering, like God being in control, ways we try to escape, and even ways we fail to understand what God might be up to. But, as always, I hope it exudes mercy and serves to encourage you.

Weekend Recap – Job’s Journey Begins

January 23, 2023 by Phil Auxier

My 1/22/23 sermon at Crestview, Job’s Journey Begins (Job 1-2), is online. My first sermon was more of a pastoral explanation as to why this study was needed for us. This sermon got us into the actual text of Job and helped us have some considerations to weigh when we find ourselves suffering. I hope it encourages you.

Weekend Recap – Introducing Job

January 16, 2023 by Phil Auxier

On January 15, 2023, I preached my first sermon in a shortish series on the book of Job (pronounced with the long ō (not like your work kind of job). This opening sermon, Introducing Job, used James 5:11 as a springboard for our study and gave my pastoral heart to studying such a book. I hope this sermon and subsequent weeks help encourage you.

Weekend Recap – Children’s Program, Emmanuel and the Good News

December 19, 2022 by Phil Auxier

We had a fantastic day at Crestview Bible Church on Sunday, December 18, 2022. So many people came together to contribute to this morning of worship through music. Mandy previewed this on our Flipside Podcast episode On the 2022 Children’s Christmas Program. And we had instrumental numbers, memorable songs, the use of many different instruments, congregational singing, and a program presented with excellence and selflessness.

My short sermon sought to continue our series on O Come, O Come Emmanuel using a verse as a springboard.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory over the grave.

https://hymnary.org/text/o_come_o_come_emmanuel_and_ransom

I did a quick teaching piece on Acts 10:34-43 (the first time the Gospel is proclaimed to the Gentiles) to connect Emmanuel and the Good News. This passage showed that what Peter declared was the same message angels gave to shepherds appearing in the fields. If you have the time, I’d go back and watch the entire program. I hope the morning encouraged you.

Weekend Recap – Emmanuel and Us

December 5, 2022 by Phil Auxier

My second installment in Crestview’s 2022 Advent series, Emmanuel and Us, is online. I was using the verses of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel that discuss a longing for the Dayspring and Wisdom to come to draw our heart into our need for Jesus to give glorious brightness and a way to live. This direction got us into Luke 1:76-79, Isaiah 11:1-2, and Hebrews 1:3. The significant point is that Emmanuel’s coming changes us. I hope the sermon encourages you.

Weekend Recap – Emmanuel Comes To Rescue

November 28, 2022 by Phil Auxier

We kicked off Advent 2022 at Crestview this past weekend. My opening sermon was Emmanuel Comes To Rescue. I tried to work hard in this sermon to dig into our longings in a holiday season like this, especially as it comes at the end of a year and wraps it up. For some, that doesn’t mean there’s a bow on top — the year has been rough! But passages like Matthew 20:28 show us that Jesus’s intention in coming was to affect change in people like us.

I hope this sermon and season affect your adoration of Jesus Himself.

Wrap of Jesus Project Series

November 21, 2022 by Phil Auxier

On Sunday, 11/20/22, we wrapped up a short series to orient the people of Crestview around our purpose to know Jesus and make Him known. The fourth installment in this series was yesterday’s focus and what this looks like for us as a corporate people to live this out. Jesus Project 4 is online and ready for your engagement. I hope it encourages you.

Weekend Recap – More Jesus Project

November 14, 2022 by Phil Auxier

My 11/13/22 sermon at Crestview, Jesus Project 3, continued digging into this clarification of what we’re about as a corporate people (using John 15:1-11 as a springboard). Specifically, this sermon got into the “How?” of knowing Jesus and making Him known to others. How do we do this? Well, in one way, we do this as Jesus did. We’re not reinventing something or relying upon ingenuity in this work. Instead, we’re following in His steps and drawing cues from Him. I hope this sermon encourages you (and draws you into this fantastic work).

From One Degree To Another?

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
