In this message, Pastor Phillip take time at the beginning of 2026 to discuss some of the core beliefs at the center of our church’s existence. Here, Pastor Phillip takes time to walk through our “What We Believe” statements from https://lwfchurch.org/about-us/what-we-believe/ but makes a specific emphasis on the importance of reading the word of God. He also communicates that our beliefs are founded on the Word of God and have been apart of Historical Christianity since the 2nd century.

CLARIFICATION: Pastor Phillip asked to include this clarification regarding his sermon. He quoted a sermon by John Chrysostom from the 4th century in his sermon on this Sunday, but misattributed it to Justin Martyr from the 2nd century. https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/chrysostom_four_discourses_03_discourse3.htm
