As we continue in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, if you go in to most bookstores that sell Christian books today, you will find books that teach, growth by “rule-keeping and discipline”, growth through “feelings and encounters”, growth through “methods and strategies”, and “growth through politics.” All of these things are a sort of slight of hand, that distract us from...

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, we shift into the Christmas season. In our previous messages, Paul has thanked God for the gospel fruit in this church in Colossae, and he’s prayed for them.

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, we focus on Paul's encouragement to believers when we feel overwhelmed by life, whether emotional struggles, painful illnesses, difficult relationships, bitter disappointments, or whatever else...to look to Jesus with fresh eyes – to rivet our eyes especially on His preeminence – His Supremacy –in a way that is life-changin...

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, we get the timely reminder that there is one final characteristic of a life that is ‘worthy’ of the gospel - and it’s a life of gospel THANKFULNESS!

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, we move from thanksgiving to prayer. Why?

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, Paul says we are to "give thanks always and for everything". But what does that look like when our situations are not ideal?

Join us a we begin our new series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory.
