This Message: Paul’s joy isn’t shaken by prison walls. His life, prayer, and example call us to live worthy of the gospel, standing firm together in Christ. Paul’s writing from prison and yet he’s full of steady, grateful joy. This talk walks Philippians 1 with you: calling you a slave‑saint, naming the liminal ‘in‑between’ places, and showing how faith is refined there.
Take four simple anchors—posture, perspective, purpose, perseverance—to face soggy towels, broken washers, or bigger storms with courage. Trust that the God who began a good work in you will finish it; lean into prayer, the Spirit, and your church family.
This Study: "Philippians: Joyful & Steady" is a 6-session study verse-by-verse through this impactful epistle. Sessions 1 & 2 will give you the basics of studying the Bible and the overview of Philippians. Sessions 3-6 will cover one chapter at a time. I'm inviting you on a discipleship journey into a life that is Christ-centered and gospel-fueled.
This Ministry: Dwelling Richly is a ministry to disciple and equip you to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength by dwelling in His Word.

Life speaks volumes about theology. A person's testimony—how they respond to trials—teaches family about God. Actions reveal theology more powerfully than any book. Have you considered this? Join the Dwelling Richly Study Today: https://www.jennifergrichmond.com/philippians-joyful-steady/

Theology isn’t abstract—it’s lived. Your life is your testimony. The way you respond to trials, the way you show joy, the way you carry burdens—all of it proclaims who you believe God is. This message equips you to let your theology and your testimony walk hand in hand.
I'm inviting you on a discipleship journey into a life that is Christ-centered and gospel-fueled: “I want to be everything about the gospel. “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain… that’s not just Paul’s story. It’s ours, too.” My heart is for you to be good Bible students not for the sake of knowledge alone, but to know Christ deeply and walk in gospel steadiness. In this message I introduce theological concepts like hermeneutics, systematic theology, and biblical theology to equip you to rightly handle God’s Word. Listen with the prayer to become confident, Spirit-led students of Scripture who can study and apply the Word on your own. You'll learn the DWELL method (Discover, Wonder, Examine, Link, Live) for a memorable and accessible structure for studying the Bible deeply training you to be trainers.

This episode digs into a tough but real question: does God fight for us when we feel attacked or misrepresented? We walk through Scripture to understand God’s character, how to check our hearts, and why godly friendships and humility matter more than instant vindication. I share practical steps, key verses to meditate on, and encouragement to trust God’s timing while pursuing holiness. Let’s think it through together, pray, and keep seeking to live with the word of Christ dwelling in us richly.

Instead of simply telling a discouraged friend to "buck up" or "hang in there," remind them of God's past faithfulness. Open Psalm 103 and remember all of His benefits. Live out your faith now, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Have you felt this?

Confidence should be rooted in the certainty of belonging to God through Christ. It's about approaching the throne of grace with boldness to receive mercy and find help when it's needed most. Don't lose that confidence.

Life's best truly begins after death with Jesus. God allows the chance of evil for true love, giving humans the capacity to choose a real relationship with Him. Choosing Him brings radical assurance and confidence in His faithfulness. Watch the full message: https://youtu.be/XTRze469WMw?si=HZyszPnD5yA-unQ0

This week’s message from Hebrews 10:32–39 carries a deeply personal note. Before the sermon, we sang “Walk by Calvary”—a song written by my dad, Dave Garrett. He wasn’t just a pastor; he was a songwriter who lived out Colossians 3:16, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly through hymns and spiritual songs. For me, his words are a heritage of faith, pointing me (and now all of us) back to the cross. He was about centering everything on Christ. I can’t think of a better way to step into Hebrews’ call to remember and endure than by remembering the faithfulness of God through the song of a man who lived it. This sermon is from the "Greater Than" series through Hebrews at La Mirada Christian Church. Listen to the complete series ‪‬

When anxious thoughts creep in at night, turn to faith instead of dwelling on worries. Recalling God's faithfulness can be a lifeline. Just as the tzitzit reminded Israel of God's commandments, tangible reminders can help in remembering, as forgetting is our default. Have you felt this?

What if the scariest words in Hebrews are actually an act of mercy? “If we go on sinning deliberately…” (Hebrews 10:26–31) can sound like doom, but this passage is a loving shout of “Stop!” to hearts drifting toward an eyes-wide-open rejection of Jesus. In this message, we unpack what “sinning deliberately” really means (and what it doesn’t), why phrases like “trampled the Son of God” and “outraged the Spirit of grace” are so strong, and how this warning comforts the worried, confronts the casual, and equips the faithful. You’ll see the difference between a weak struggler who stumbles yet repents and a willful heart that treats the cross as common. You’ll also hear why this is not about losing salvation, but about refusing the only sacrifice that saves and why the “hands of the living God” are fierce with justice and fierce with grace. Come be sobered, steadied, and invited back to Jesus, His people, and a holy, hopeful life.
