Join us as we wrap up our time in Colossians. Connor Alliston shares with us how to have a  life deeply connected to Christ, which includes a consistent, grateful prayer life. Prayer is not just a duty, but a privilege—a vital part of the Christian walk. In Colossians 4:2, Paul encourages believers to "continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving." Prayer should...

Today's sermon "Thankful in Peace, in Word, and in Name" focuses on Colossians 3 and the transformative power of gratitude in the life of a Christian. It emphasizes that biblical truth is meant to be lived, not just learned, and highlights three key catalysts that increase thankfulness in the believer's life. The Peace of Christ The Word of Christ The Name of Christ Colossians...

In today’s episode, we dive deep into Colossians 2 and explore the powerful reminder that, no matter what is happening around us, we can always be thankful for the work God is doing in us.

Effective Leadership Personality: gifts & passions Ability: training & experience Maturity: obedience & intimacy How to Become an Active Part of the Body: Step 1 - Connec...

Pastor PJ approaches the subject of speaking in tongues and what the Bible has to say about it. "When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit ga...

Kicking off a new series The Ghost, the kind of ghost you want to have around!  Key Thought: As disciples of Christ we have been sent an advantage; the Helper, God's Holy Spirit.  Working from John 16, PJ Noland walks us through three things God's Holy Spirit does as our helper. 

In wrapping up our series on The Blessed Church, PJ Noland shares how evangelism is a charge given to all believers to live out daily. Key thought: God desires to make Himself known. We are all called to be sharers of the Gospel. Romans 10:15, 17 says, "As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!' So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through...

In today's episode of the Collective Church podcast, Student Pastor Shane Harrington explains the meaning of Blessed Worship. Listen in as he shares with us how we must get past the idea that worship is a single act of praise but is a lifestyle devoted to the Kingdom of God. "A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders." Acts‬...

In this episode of the Collective Church podcast, Pastor PJ Noland and Collective member Joe Dunn discuss The Blessed Sacrifice. Learn how your faithfulness to what you have now determines how you will be entrusted with more in the future.

Blessed Unity John 17:20-21, Acts 2:42, 44, & 47 Key Point: Unity is vital to the health of the church.  On this episode of the Collective Church podcast, PJ Noland, Lead Pastor, discusses how, on the Day of Pentecost, the church was unified in their awe of who God was and was devoted to meeting the needs of those in the fellowship. Listen in and learn what you can do to be a unifier in the Ch...

Do you ever wonder how the church at Ephesus went from being known by Paul as having a "love incorruptible" (Ephesians 6:23-24) to 30 years later being called out by John as having "abandoned the love you had at first" (Revelation 2:1-3)? Listen to PJ Noland as he shares with us how this happened and how we, as the church of today, can recover the love we had at first.

Listen in as Justin Harrell, Collective Church Elder, shares with us what happened soon after the day of Pentecost, when 3,000 souls were added to the church, and how the first church members devoted themselves to four specific practices: the apostles’ teachings, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. Take a moment to remember what the early church looked like in scripture and compare it to wh...

In scripture, we read that the Lord refers to his church as a body and, at other times, as a family, house, or city.  The Psalmist says, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127:1 ESV). This underscores the importance of God's presence in our church.  As God continues to...

Part 4 Our time in Psalm 1 comes to a close today.  We'll recap the series thus far and take a look at what it looks like to be situated by the waters.  What does that even mean?  How does one become situated by the waters, and what does life look like when you are? Key Passage: Psalm 1:1-6 Key Thought: The livelihood of a tree will always be dependent upon the source from which it draws life...

Part 3:    As we delve into part 3 of our series, we discover that the person God blesses is not only separated from the world but also saturated in the Word of God. As followers of Christ, how do we live separated from the world while still obeying Jesus' commands to be salt of the world?  As we get into verses two and three, we find that the answer to the question above hinges upon us being...

Part 2 Last week, we laid the foundation for this series by discussing the people God blesses and the type of life they lead. Today, we're going deeper into the topic of living a life separated from the world.  This doesn't mean we isolate ourselves and not share the good news, but there are steps we can take to keep ourselves in alignment with God's Word and his will for our lives....

Part 1 Psalm chapter one is a passage that very plainly helps us filter what may be wrong in our lives while simultaneously showing us the right things we need to pursue.    This week, we'll examine the two types of people described in Psalm 1: the faithful (the blessed) and the faithless (the perishing). Key Passage: Psalm 1:1 Key Thought: God enjoys blessing your life, but you must be &quot...

A pillar of our church was taken away from us last week. Matt Gipson has been promoted to heaven.  We have been celebrating his gain, but we are still at a loss. We are truly in it together and want to begin to take the appropriate steps to grieve this loss and continue to minister to one another.  Larry Barker joins us in this time to minister to us on “How to Grieve with One Another.” Proverbs 1...
