Preacher: Kris Baines, guest pastor
Key Text: Philippians 3:12 – 4:1
Description: There’s no doubt we’re living in challenging times — times in which there is an unprecedented effort to marginalize Christian values.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back our Down Under pastor and pianist friend, Kris Baines, to share the encouraging message that though we face challenge, with Jesus, we can remain unshakable.
For though the world — like never before in recent history — now celebrates and normalizes things the Bible condemns as wicked, sinful, and perverse, we as followers of Jesus Christ are called and empowered to “keep going and stand firm” in our Christian walk.

5 very ENCOURAGING Reasons to Keep Going and Stand Firm in our Christian walk (imperatives):
- Jesus has made us His own.
