Dressed in Christ

What are you going to wear today?  It’s a question we all have to ask ourselves pretty much every morning; but did you ever ask yourself the question from a spiritual perspective?  We all “get dressed” spiritually each day and Paul gives us counsel on “what to wear” today in Colossians chapter 3.

New in Christ

When we met Jesus and decide to live our lives in Him, it can be a tricky business in some ways.  While we hear again and again in scripture that we are new in Christ, we also live out the reality of still living day to day with temptations and struggles.  How do we balance […]

Grounded in Christ

We don’t often think of a world without bacon… it’s just something we take for granted.  However, before Peter’s vision in Acts 10, no God-honoring person would have ever considered enjoying the sweet, salty treat.  Pork fell onto the “unclean” list from the Old Testament Law.  But Jesus came to fulfill the Law and then […]

Fullness in Christ

There’s nothing quite like a nice, big meal…to walk away from the dinner table feeling full.  But what does it look like to be “full” in Christ?  To have fullness in Christ?  Paul turns his attention in the next segment of his letter to the idea of our being brought to fullness in Christ.  This […]

Rescued in Christ

As we jump into the 2nd week of our study through the Book of Colossians, we find ourselves asking “what will Paul’s first move be?”  Last week we looked at all of the players involved in this first century letter, this week, we’ll explore Paul’s opening thought…do you know you’ve been rescued in Christ?

Anyone in Christ

Join us as we dive into our summer-long study of the Book of Colossians.  As Paul writes to this young church in the first century, his resounding theme is we are IN CHRIST.  But before we can dig too deep into this letter, we need to start by looking a little more closely at a […]

What Kind of Mom are You?

Happy Mother’s Day!  It that special day we set a side to honor our moms, remember our moms, celebrate our moms.  It’s also the day we spend some time thinking about what kind of mom we have…or had…or are.  There are lots of kinds of moms in our world today but to narrow down the […]

Is Jesus Enough?

(Our apologizes…the first two minutes of the sermon did not record.  Imagine yourself sitting in a bright, sunny field listening to Jesus teach all day and you are caught up!) If everything was stripped away and you had nothing left except Jesus, would He be enough?  This ultimately was the question the crowd was left […]
