Dear Jesus Lives Family,

I want to personally invite you to a powerful and timely message I’ll be delivering this Thursday at 7:30 PM at Jesus Lives. The topic is one that is both core to our mission and deeply close to my heart—Evangelism.

In this message, I’ll be diving into what it really means to live out the Great Commission. Evangelism is more than just handing out tracts or inviting someone to church, it literally is a lifestyle of sharing the love, truth, and power of Jesus Christ with a hurting world. It's about allowing the Holy Spirit to move through us in boldness, compassion, and truth.

We’ll explore the biblical foundation for evangelism, break down common fears and hesitations, and talk about how to recognize the open doors God gives us every day. Whether you’ve been walking with the Lord for decades or you’re just stepping into this journey of faith, this message will challenge and equip you to be a light in the darkness.

Jesus didn’t suggest we share the Gospel.....He commanded it. But He also promised that He would be with us every step of the way. This sermon will reignite your confidence, stir your spirit, and help you see evangelism not as an obligation, but as a joy-filled calling.

So come expectant. Come ready to be encouraged, corrected, empowered, and sent.

Bring a friend. Bring your testimony. Bring your faith.

Evangelism | Pastor Phil | @JesusLives

Dear Jesus Lives Family,

I want to personally invite you to join me this Thursday at 7:30 PM at Jesus Lives in Issaquah as I share a message that has been stirring deeply in my heart; a sermon titled “Free Will.”

In a world that constantly pulls us in a hundred different directions, we’re all faced with choices every day. Some are small and subtle. Others carry the weight of eternity. But the one truth remains is that God has given each of us the power to choose, not as robots or puppets, but as people created in His image, called into relationship.

This message explores the tension we all feel: the struggle between God’s will and our own desires. I’ll be sharing personal testimony, including a moment years ago when I stood at a crossroads between returning to Alaska or staying in Bellevue, a decision that ultimately led me to the love of my life, Jamael, and the life-changing invitation to church that would alter my future forever.

Together, we’ll walk through powerful biblical examples from Adam and Eve to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and each story will show how real people wrestled with their choices and experienced both the consequences of sin and the mercy of God. We’ll confront temptation, wrestle with surrender, and discover the freedom that comes from aligning our will with His.

If you or someone you know is at a crossroads, or if you simply need encouragement to walk in obedience, this is a message you don’t want to miss.

Come early, bring a friend, and prepare your heart. I believe God is going to meet us in a powerful way.

Let’s choose life together!

Free Will | Pastor Phil | @JesusLives

Dear Jesus Lives Family,

I want to invite you to this Thursday night’s 7:30 PM service at Jesus Lives in Issaquah, where I’ll be sharing a message titled “The Promise of Compassion.”

It’s a message from Jeremiah 31—where God says, “Is not Ephraim my dear son… though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore, my heart yearns for him.” In these uncertain and challenging times, we need to know this: God hasn’t forgotten us. His heart still longs for the hurting, the drifting, and the broken.

Whether you feel far from God or you just need to be reminded of His love and mercy (like we all do), this message is for you. It’s also a call for us as believers to walk in compassion—to extend grace and kindness to others in a world that desperately needs it.

If you’ve been needing a fresh encounter with God’s heart or a renewed strength to love others, I encourage you to come.

Bring someone with you. Come expecting. Let’s press into His presence together.

Compassion | Pastor Phil | @JesusLives

Dear Jesus Lives Family,

Have you ever wondered what your spiritual gift is? Or maybe you’ve heard teachings (last week) about the Five Fold Ministry and thought, “That sounds powerful… but I’m not sure where I fit.”

This Thursday night at 7:30 PM, we’re diving into a powerful new message titled: Discovering your Gift.

This teaching is for those who are ready to stop sitting on the sidelines and start stepping into what God has called them to do.

We’ll be exploring the Five Fold Ministry from Ephesians 4 — Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher — and unpacking how you can identify which of these roles you were created to walk in.

You’ll also learn:

What to do if you don’t know your gift.

Why your gift is often revealed through serving.

How fear causes us to bury what God put in us — and how faith brings it to life.

God doesn’t hide gifts — He prepares hearts to carry them. This message will challenge you, encourage you, and help unlock the next chapter of your spiritual journey.

Discovering Your Gift | Pastor Phil | @JesusLives

Dear Jesus Lives Family,

I’m excited to personally invite you to our upcoming teaching this Thursday at 7:30 PM at Jesus Lives. This week, we’ll be diving into the vital topic of Spiritual Gifts — the unique ways God has equipped each of us to serve, encourage, and build up the Body of Christ.

Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12:4-7:

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”

Together, we’ll explore how these gifts operate, how to recognize them in our lives, and how to steward them faithfully for the glory of God and the good of others. Whether you’re new to walking with the Lord or have been serving for years, this teaching will help bring clarity, encouragement, and fresh fire to your walk.

As Romans 12:6 says:

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”

God has placed a specific calling and gifting within you, and I believe this time together will be a powerful step in unlocking more of His purpose for your life.

Please invite friends, family, and anyone you feel would be blessed by understanding the gifts God has given them. Let’s come expectant and ready to receive what the Holy Spirit wants to pour out.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Gifts | Pastor Phil | @JesusLives

Dear Jesus Lives Family,

I have a message that God has been speaking to me about and I’m blessed with the opportunity to share it with you this Thursday at 7:30 PM. This is a direct message that goes straight to the heart of every believer who’s ever asked, “God, are You there? Are You speaking to me?”

This teaching is about “Hearing God’s Voice” and how to recognize when our heavenly father is speaking to us as we live in a world filled with constant distractions everywhere we go. So many of us, including myself, feel spiritually distant or directionless sometimes and it’s not because God is silent, but because we haven’t learned to be still and truly listen to his voice.

“God is always speaking — the question is, are we listening?”

Whether you’re in a season of decision, confusion, or desperation, this message is for you. I’m going to talk about the many ways that God speaks to us through His Word, through the words of others, and through the unexpected. It’s important that we learn how to tune our hearts to his frequency and know when it’s Him that’s speaking to us.

Some of us have been praying, but not waiting. Asking, but not staying silent long enough to listen. What if the clarity you’ve been seeking is just one moment of stillness away?

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” – John 10:27

Come join us as we worship, pray, and ask God to train our ears to know His voice!
