Just Another Melodic Monday: Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

"Christ Our Hope in Life and Death" is a modern hymn by a group of songwriters from Getty Music.  It reminds us that, through the resurrection of Christ, we have a hope that enables us to sing in the face of death, for Christ has promised us a glorious future and a life beyond death's reach.

The Midweek Message - Better off dead, so why choose life? (Philippians 1)

In his letter to the Philippian Christians, Paul makes a remarkable statement - "to die is gain" (1:21).  He goes on to say that life in heaven with Christ will be "far better" than life on earth (1v23).  So why doesn't Paul just sit at the sidelines and wait for the next life?  Why does he instead throw himself at life on earth, putting himself in danger and pain?  In this message we explore why, even though as Christians we are better off dead, we must choose life.
