You hear it from me often. “I am grateful to be your pastor.” You are my people and I love you.

I love your stories, your laughter over meals shared, your obedient service to Christ, your compassionate ministering. I love how you make up after squabbling. I love watching you grow in love for Jesus. I love your praise, your music-making, and your worship. I love mission tripping with you. I love to hear you pray.

I love when you place your newborns in my arms. I love welcoming you into the baptismal waters. I love that when you grieve, you let me share the weight of your pain.

Indeed, I am grateful that seventeen years ago God called me to be your pastor. Today, just as clearly, I hear Him calling me to a new and exciting chapter which will open a new and exciting chapter for you, as well.

My final day as your pastor will be December 31. Dawn and I will begin retirement by doing some heavy-duty downsizing. Then, sometime in 2018, we will move to Indianapolis to live near Dawn’s sister Peggy, our niece Elizabeth, and our niece and her husband, Andrea and Adam.

(But don’t worry about this; our grandson Hank will be here for Christmas and you will get to meet him before we leave.)

This I promise you. I will always love and pray for you, and I will remain eternally grateful to have been your pastor.

Sincerely, Steve Phillips

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 Over the past couple of months, I have profited greatly from studying Scripture with a small group of Winstanley men. Every Tuesday evening we gather in my home for about an hour and a half to study the book of Colossians before ending with a short time of prayer. I have found our discussions to be rich and meaningful as we seek to better understand God’s word and apply it to our lives. I appreciate how we have a fairly wide age range, which spans from the 30’s to the 60’s. This means that our group benefits from a variety of perspectives, and younger men in the church can learn and gain insight from the more seasoned.

The verse above implies that we all need to be taught, reproved, corrected, and trained in righteousness no matter where we are in life. The Bible alone is sufficient for these things. God has given us his word in order that we would be equipped for every good work. We will greatly profit from the Bible in our private study, as we sit under the preached word, and as we attend Sunday school. All of these have particular strengths, and we ought to seize every opportunity to grow from them. And yet another opportunity to consider for growing in God’s word, for the men in our church, would be a men’s Bible study. Men, would you consider being a part of one in the near future? If this is something that interests you, please see me.
