Emmaus Road Church | Fort Collins, Colorado

Teaching from Colossians 3:18-4:1, Pastor Andy Lucas shows how Paul works out a framework of the home where there is mutual love and respect where the full humanity of each person is honored. It is in this new family context where husbands and wives are free to mature and develop along with their children under the care and protection of Christ.

Preaching from Colossians chapter 3, Pastor Rick Edwards inspires us to be clothed with Christ, putting to death all that does not reflect the goodness of Jesus. By doing so, we join Christ in a new humanity bringing love, reconciliation, and redemption to a world that longs to know the affections of a father who will never let them go.

Just like the church in Colossians chapter 2, we face pressures from all sides. Pastor Andy Lucas reminds us that giving in to these pressures would be compromise and would move Jesus away from the center of our faith. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus has "disarmed the powers and authorities" and made "a public spectacle of them." Jesus is the reality to which the laws pointed and...

Jesus Christ holds together all of creation and He is the center of our faith. In Him we see God, and through Him we are reconciled to God. Preaching form Colossians 1, Pastor Andy Lucas reminds us that God is gathering to himself a new humanity that will reveal to the world what it means to live under the Lordship of Jesus.

Even in exile, especially in exile, God is at work all around us. Preaching from Isaiah 49:5-6, Pastor Andy Lucas reminds us that we are called to join God in his redemptive work. We are to have clean hearts and dirty hands, embodying the Word of God through our lives and inviting all to the Table of the Lord.

Empire is sexy and alluring; the fear is that our children will not be Christians living in America, but Americans who come to church once in a while. Teaching from Daniel chapter 1, Pastor Andy Lucas shows us that our task is to raise "resident aliens" by continually telling the story of God they are a part of and by sharing our practices of worship with our children.

We are to be a blessing to Babylon…..through work. Work is a God-ordained and blessed vocation to order creation for the good of others Preaching from Jeremiah 29:1-7, Pastor Andy encourages us to living into our first vocation.

As God's people, set apart and filled, we need practices that will form us according to His story in us. Pastor Andy Lucas teaches that our everyday habits form us "from the ground up." So we lean into Christian worship and the Christian calendar as a counter-liturgy to the consumeristic liturgies we experience throughout the week.

God's unique people need a life-changing story. All of us are governed by story. The success, nation, humanist, etc. stories. The people of God are invited to live out the Christian story and invite others into that story as well.

God's activity in the world can be summarized by separation, filling, blessing. Pastor Andy Lucas helps us consider how this work of God in us empowers us join him in redeeming the brokenness all around us.

In our lifetime, we've seen Christianity move from a place of prominence to a place of marginalization. That move began many years ago, but clearly, things have changed. Pastor Andy Lucas helps us see how seasons of exile among God's people and his Church can be times of tremendous growth. God is up to something in exile!

In the final week investigating Biblical Justice, Pastor Andy Lucas asks us this question, "who displays the power on Good Friday; Pilate, Caiaphas, or Jesus?" Only through forgiveness are all wrongs made right.

Building on last week's theme of restorative justice, Pastor Andy Lucas helps us see how Jesus calls us to show love and mercy to the most unlikely around us. Preaching from Luke 14, we are reminded that in Christ, Justice and Mercy have kissed providing healing, freedom, and hope to all who seek him.

Our idea of justice seems to largely be based on media and modern court, but is the bible's view of justice the same? In this three part series, Pastor Andy Lucas helps us investigate the biblical theme of Justice and how Godly Justice is good news for our world today.

Preaching from the gospel of Mark, chapter 4, Pastor Grace shows us how Jesus is calming the raging storms that threaten all those who call him Lord.

As we consider the story of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37, Pastor John Watkin helps us consider, "Who is my neighbor, and how can I love them like Jesus would?"

In the final week of our Day of the LORD series, Pastor Andy explores how Jesus defeats evil and offers us hope.

In part three of our series, Day of the LORD, Pastor Andy reminds us that God is on the side of the oppressed.

In week two exploring the Day of the Lord, Pastor Andy Lucas helps us consider how God is always working to redeem evil, bringing rescue to the oppressed.

In the series opener for the Day of the Lord series, pastor Andy Lucas help's us consider the origins of humanity and how sin threatens to undermine God's plan for us.

3. We pursue intergenerational ministry. As a church, we believe every generation brings value to our community. Therefore, we intentionally connect all generations through worship, service, and fellowship. This promotes spiritual formation and provides a sense of belonging for all ages.

As a community, we follow the seasons of the Christian calendar (e.g. Advent, Lent, Eastertide, Pentecost). Each week, our worship consists of celebration, confession, assurance of forgiveness, the preached Word, and communion. We believe these patterns are forming us into the likeness of Jesus.

Pastor Andy introduces our new Defining Marks and unpacks the first one. 1. We teach, preach, and practice citizenship in God’s Kingdom. As the people of God, our allegiance belongs to Christ. We approach life and culture from a Kingdom of God perspective. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we faithfully engage the world with the hope of the Gospel and participate in God’s renewal of all things. This i...
