Join us this weekend at any of our three campuses as we continue the series Technicolor Joy. Every day in every city, people go to the gym to get in a workout. But money spent on a gym membership is pointless unless we take the right approach. In the message "How to Have a Great Workout," Pastor Skip explains how we can have a healthy spiritual life by showing us what it means to "work out [our] own salvation in fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12). Let's be determined to stay in top spiritual shape.
