Pastor Levi Matteson kicks off our new sermon series, Daily Grind, with how gratitude in your cup is the best part of waking up, from Paul's instruction to "rejoice always" in Philippians 4:4-7 and a story of his travels to Philippi from Acts 16:13-34. This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, January 12, 2025.
Joy can seem elusive in the midst of life’s challenges, stress, and relentless demands. But Paul in the Book of Philippians reveals how a deep connection with Jesus provides joy, even under pressure. In this series, we dive into how gratitude and dependence on Christ bring peace and joy, no matter the daily grind.
Pastors Levi and Travis talk about the heavenly concert given to the shepherds in the field and how they then went to see Mary and the baby Jesus for themselves, from Luke 2:8-20, including God chose to tell a lowly bunch, God's message to the broken, God's grace to Mary. This is an episode of Pearls & Swine on the Evangel Houghton Podcast from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, December 24, 2024.
