We are called to be bold peacemakers in our own lives, choosing love, mercy, and reconciliation over pride and division, just as Paul does for Philemon and Onesimus.

In Christ, we are full, forgiven, and free. The work of the gospel must be in and through the love of Christ. 

In Week 2 of "Alive," our sermon series through the Book of Colossians, we dive deep into Colossians 1:15–23, exploring the unmatched supremacy of Jesus Christ. Discover how Christ is the image of the invisible God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and the head of the Church. We’ll contrast biblical truth with Gnostic philosophies, pluralism, deism, and materialistic evolution, a...

Each day is a new chance to live a joyful Christian life. Colossians 1 details how we may live a joyful Christian life that honors Christ and allows our church and ourselves to flourish. In our walk with Christ, we must be simultaneously cautious and confident. Cautious that we don't change or diminish the doctrine of the Lord. While also being confident in your faith and what the Lord has ca...

God's word fuels our spiritual growth in the same way food and water fuel our physical bodies. Psalm 119 describes God's word as a lamp at our feet that lights our path and gives us more understanding of how to live our lives.  Without God's word, we wander through our days as if we are walking in the dark. Through God's word and the community we are blessed with, we can avoid...

Giving to others isn't just a good deed; it's a way to emulate the life of our savior and grow in our faith. Luke 12 teaches us the importance of being Generous Givers, and it takes more than physical wealth to do it.  It can be easy to become anxious or jealous of our physical and financial state compared to others. However, anxiety and jealousy result from not focusing on what matters...

"Iron sharpens iron" is a phrase rooted in scripture. It is something we must do to become more like Christ. Luke 24 explores our need to be sharpened as Christians and what it means to be an Iron Sharpener.  We aren't called to live life alone, and we aren't cut out to be alone as Christians. We need people in our lives to sharpen us and push us closer to Christ. As others pou...

Servant Leadership isn't the easiest form of leadership, but it is the best way to bring others and ourselves closer to Christ. Luke 22 shows us that servant leaders live to serve and lead others to serve.  Servant Leadership will involve struggles and suffering. Not everyone you encounter will share your vision of bringing others to Christ. But if you keep your eyes on the bigger picture of...

We are called to bring people the good news of the gospel as ambassadors of Christ and let him change their lives. Luke 4 shows us what true gospel ambassadors look like and how we can emulate the way Jesus brought the gospel to the people around him.  There is a lot of darkness and bad news in today's world. But as Gospel Ambassadors, we have the chance to bring people good news and bring ho...

As followers of Jesus, we are called to leave a mark and spread the gospel in all the places we go. Luke 4 exemplifies how we can leave a mark by building bridges with those who don't know Jesus.  Building bridges doesn't come easy. You will face internal and external barriers that may make it hard to build bridges. But with the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we can overcome these barri...

Worship isn't just for Sundays at Church. We begin our new study "Follow me" as we look to see how we can follow and be more like Jesus, by going through the 7 marks of a follower. Luke 6 details what it means and what it looks like to be a Daily Worshipper. Daily Worship is a vertical and horizontal experience. We personally worship and grow with the Father and then express our res...

We are saved to reflect Jesus on Earth. Haggai 2 illustrates how our lives cleanliness, purity, and holiness matter to God. Don’t believe the lie that holy works make you holy. Personal sin can contaminate all the good work you may do, if not dealt with. Your life will get scuffed like a new pair of shoes. But if you come to the Lord daily, he will wash and make you clean again. Are you being stir...

God's peace is the ultimate peace. Haggai 2 shows us why we can be confident in the Lord's work, not shaken up. Don't let fear and discouragement steal your blessings and effectiveness to the Kingdom of God.  Are you confident in the Lord's power and presence? Or are you allowing yourself to be shaken but not stirred?
