This weekend, we are continuing through Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Paul is holding himself up as an example of what it means to continue moving forward and growing in the Christian life. He reminds his readers that developing a Christlike mindset is a journey. God continues to refine us as we pursue His will. The title of this weekend’s message is “PRESS ON.”
Consequence by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we are going to look at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. There are two kinds of rich people: the benevolent rich and the oppressive rich. The rich man in this parable was oppressive and an unrepentant sinner. He did not show mercy to Lazarus, poor man, yet begged for mercy on the other side.

Yield by Pastor Abidan Shah
Having laid the foundation for what our mind is and what it means to have the mind of Christ, we now turn our attention to the application. We cannot will ourselves into righteousness. It’s not something we can force, but something we submit to and that God develops within us. The title of the message this weekend is “YIELD.”
Humility by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we turn our attention to the cross. This is one of the most powerful symbols, both in the church and in our culture as a whole. This tool of punishment and torture became the means of our forgiveness and redemption. The title of the message is “HUMILITY.”
Bondservant by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we are continuing in our study of Philippians 2:5-11, specifically examining the word “bondservant.” In order to understand what it means for Christ to be our bondservant, we must first understand what Paul meant by that term. This message will also help us understand how to better follow Christ’s example of serving others. The title of this week’s message is “BONDSERVANT.”

Thankful for Our Church Family by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we are talking about our church and the family of believers that God has blessed us with here at Clearview. This is such a special place and I am so thankful for each person here, as I know many of you are as well. One way that we can show our gratefulness for our church family is by volunteering to serve in some capacity. There are so many ways to serve and to partner with our church family as we reach the lost and make Christ visible.
Joint Impact by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be taking a look at the collective impact of the church. We are more than just a gathering of individuals. We are a body, joined together by God for a specific mission: to reach the world with the message of the gospel. We are each capable of accomplishing much for the Lord on our own. However, it is only when we are united in our purpose and our efforts that God can use the church to make a profound impact. The title of this weekend’s message is “JOINT IMPACT.”

Fearless Love by Pastor Abidan Shah
As you know, this weekend we will be celebrating Easter as a church. What a wonderful time of worship and rejoicing as we remember the resurrection of our Savior. We will be taking a look at the story of Jesus’ resurrection from the perspective of His followers. How did it affect them? How did they respond? For many of them, their actions were fueled by something much deeper than obedience. They were motivated by a love that gave them boldness and purpose. The title of this weekend’s Easter message is “FEARLESS LOVE.”
Cold Love by Pastor Abidan Shah
The first message in this series is titled “COLD LOVE” because God’s people felt like His love had grown cold. In this message, we’ll learn that God is unchanging even though our feelings fluctuate.
Love is Liberating by Pastor Abidan Shah
In the concluding message titled “Love is Liberating,” Paul reminds the Corinthians that true love never ends. It doesn’t have any limitations. It doesn’t use any threats and fears. In fact, it brings a sense of freedom that allows the other person to flourish and love back without any barriers.
Love is Purifying by Pastor Abidan Shah
Here Paul goes deep into the human heart. Have you ever wondered why we feel a sense of relief and glee when others go through a difficult time? Where does this come from? This is our sinful nature peeking through. Please don’t misunderstand – this does not mean that we throw a party whenever something bad happens to others. I’m only referring to that momentary sin of self-preservation and gloating that infects all of us. Love cannot flourish in such an atmosphere. This message will encourage us to seek God’s forgiveness, healing, and restoration in our life and relationships.
Love is Disarming by Pastor Abidan Shah
Many people like to focus on the weaknesses of others or point out their failures. True love allows the other person to put down their guard, knowing that they are in a safe zone and they won’t be attacked, ambushed, or shamed. Are you the kind of person who helps people relax around you or are you the kind of person who loves to agitate others? This message is titled “Love is Disarming.”
Love is Maturing by Abidan Paul Shah
Immature people are rude and crude. They say and do things without regard to the feelings of others. They only think of self and how they can benefit from a situation. True love cares about how others feel.
Love is Serving by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this message we will look at the statement – “Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.” There is no room for pride in love. In fact, “Love is Serving” others the way Christ serves us.
