The Strategy: Connect
We are coming into the second week where we are thinking through our church strategies. The mission statement is why we exist, the core values are those things that must characterize us, and these strategies are those practical items that gauge our faithfulness to our calling. This morning we will look at the idea of connection; the bond of relationship that goes beyond a…
Work to the Glory of God
Over the last month or so, we have looked at God’s design for the family, and how our obedience is an act of worship. This week we move from the home into the workplace. Paul addresses bondservants and masters in Colossians 3:22-4:1. While the social construct is very different, there is great value in thinking through our biblical response to authority. Each of us…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 4 – PARENTS
Over the last two weeks, we have enjoyed the time that we spent reflecting on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His sinless life and obedience in death made salvation possible for all those who place their faith in Him. This week we will move back into the book of Colossians, and continue…
Family for the Glory of God, Part 1: WIVES
As we work through Colossians 3, we have seen a number of ways that believers are called to live in light of their faith in Christ. We are to be a people who are kind and compassionate, humble and patient, meek and forgiving. We are called to be loving and peaceful in the midst of a world that is anything but loving and peaceful. This kind of change is only possible…
Character Traits of the Family of God, Part 2
We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. The foundation for the book of Colossians has been the truth of the person and work of Jesus Christ. We have to recognize His preeminent place in all of creation so that we respond rightly in worship. We have to understand that His death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave are the only means of being in…
Character Traits of the Family of God
We are working through a wonderful and convicting portion of Paul’s letter to the Colossian church. Last week we saw the call to put sin to death in our lives. It is the clear and unequivocal call in the life of a believer to see their sin the way that God sees it. And that battle is one that we will fight until either the Lord returns or we are joined with Him in…
From My Heart to Yours
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon and notes.) We worship God who has poured out so many incredible mercies on us that offering anything less than our entire selves would be ungrateful. Our faith, rooted in the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, has the ultimate moral authority as well as the effective power to transform our…
You Can’t Sing With Smog in Your Throat
(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon.) LEAVING THE SMOG (and living in God’s clean air) Sunday we’re kicking off a new year with a fresh outlook. If a person lives in a smog-filled city, they come to think that’s the way life is supposed to be – but it’s not! Just as pollutants become a part of us and affect…
