We begin our new series Upside Down Kingdom with the Parable of Soils. In this incredible parable, Jesus describes those who receive the Gospel by comparing different types of soil.

In Acts 4, we see how the Holy Spirit led the early church to pray for boldness in the face of persecution. Instead of praying for ease, they prayed for boldness. Rather than trying to control things by their own power, they went to God in prayer. Join us as we learn about praying for boldness.  CONNECT WITH US Are you new to Colonial Hills?

If God wants His church to love one another with unselfish and abounding love, how do we grow in such love? Paul's prayer in the opening of his letter to the Philippian church shows us the answer.  Paul prayed for the believers in Philippi that God would grow their love; that their love would abundantly overflow in knowledge and depth of insight.  CONNECT WITH US Are you new to Colonial Hills?

Pride is often quoted as being the root of all sin and evil, and there is probably a lot of truth to that.  Pride is also often the ultimate blind spot.  Other people come to mind when we think of pride, but rarely do we see it in our own lives.

Does God really care about the suffering of His children? (Tidings of Great Joy series #1) Luke's Gospel account of Jesus doesn't start off like most biographies.
