What Paul teaches in Colossians is predicated on one little phrase: Christ in us. Salvation isn’t merely an explanation; it is Jesus Christ living and breathing in us.

We are all seekers. No matter what we buy, acquire, or reach, we ultimately find ourselves seeking something more. We seek because we were created in the image of a relational, triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit who seek to love and delight in one another. As we begin a new year, Pastor Rick McKinley looks to the Scriptures to consider what it might look like to give ourselves over to seeking what...

This Sunday is the start of Advent, the season in which we anticipate the coming of our Savior at Christmas. This year, our Advent sermon series seeks to connect Israel’s anticipation for the Messiah leading up to the birth of Jesus and our own longings as we wait for Christ to come again. How do we pray between these two Advents? 

Jesus spoke more about money than about faith and prayer combined; eleven of His forty parables are about money. How we use and approach it reveals a lot about our hearts. Jesus not only understood this but directed much of His teaching to challenge the destructive ways in which our hearts tend to get wrapped around money. Pastor Rick McKinley continues our series.
