Olathe College Church

2020 has left us asking a lot of questions, but tonight as we gather like so many people have around the world, we are certain of this...just over 2000 years ago, God sent good news of great joy that would be for all people. Tonight, we celebrate the birth of our Savior knowing that He came and made himself at home among us. This Christmas Eve, we come with WONDER to discover what it means to trus...

Pastor Dave Sharpes Luke 2:8-14 Join us for Christmas Eve with College Church online, Thursday, December 24th at 5 & 6:30 PM. You can pick up candles for Silent Night at the Cunningham, Garrett Chapel, and Vanderpool Main entrances.

It's not a matter of wonder or...but Wonder IN. So how will you handle the reality of the world around you. Jesus comes to earth as a baby and amidst the circumstances, even his cousin John would forget for a moment that he was from God. So what if we lived with WONDER in the WASTELAND?

What does it look like to wonder in the waiting?

God Flows From Us John 15:1-8; 16-17 Does the Spirit of God, when it is “at home in our lives”, transform the way we live our life? According to John’s gospel, Jesus was clear that our “remaining” in Him allows us to produce the kind of fruit that transforms all of our life. So what kind of fruit is your life producing? Questions for the Possessed: 1. Does the fruit come from beyond my natural abi...

What would it look like for us to desire a relationship with the Father more than wanting an experience with the Father?

You are not alone. Did you know that? One of the most significant discoveries that the followers of Jesus realized after Christ resurrected, was that He was still with them; but this time He would be living in and through them. That same power dwells in you and me today!

The example of Jesus didn't line up with everything the followers of God believed "the messiah" was going to be about. And yet, the newly established church grew in favor with the people who were hearing about the life and death of Jesus. There was something unique about the character of those early followers of Jesus that we could probably learn from. May our stories be shaped by theirs, this wee...

It seems to get more and more difficult each day, to respond to the world around us without starting some sort of argument! If you've ever felt the pressure of responding differently to a situation, but never quite understood why, that's exactly why Peter - the guy who Jesus called "the rock I'm going to build my church on" - wrote his letter to the brand new followers of Jesus. So how can we rema...

What do the people closest to you, say fills your life? What have you let fill your life? Again, Peter has a reminder for those who say that Jesus is Lord - Greater is He who is in you, than the one who is in the world.

With the rule and reign of culture pressing in, how should we act and respond? When non believers look at people who claim to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, what should they see? How are followers of Jesus Christ to use their freedom? Peter's perspective in chapter 2 of his first letter was written for people living in a pretty similar time to what we're experiencing now - he even called i...

When the past is so full of despair and anxiety, what does it take to get up and go forward? When the circumstances of the day continue to change, planning for tomorrow can seem futile. Can anything really make a difference for tomorrow? Hope in today's world is pretty UNCOMMON. But that's just what Peter was pointing the people of God to!

Have you ever thought about giving up? Throwing in the towel? Psalm 146 and 2 Kings 13 serve as a reminder that despite our exhaustion with life's circumstances and frustration with the current realities, that God has great plans for you.
