Practical Spirituality In the third chapter of Colossians the Apostle Paul tells us that we are called to respond to what God has done for us by His grace. And that response is to seek to glorify God in our everyday lives. True spirituality is not being weird or neurotic, but rather it’s bringing the lordship of Christ into our marriages, the raising of our children, and into the workplace. Join us in our study of Colossians chapter three as we focus on practical spirituality.

How to die with the least amount of regrets? It’s a reality of life that each of us at some point in the future will breathe our last. Some of us will look back with sorrow as we realize how little effect our lives had. Where the Apostle Paul takes us in our study of Colossians, is to give us four commands that when followed will lead us to a life that will count for eternity. Join us as we begin chapter 3 to learn how to make your life all that God desires it to be.

Set Free or Bound by Doubt The Apostle Paul is guiding the church in Colosse through the difficult problem of dealing with false teachers. Often a tactic of the false teacher is to cause a person to become insecure in their relationship with Christ, so that the insecure person becomes more dependent on the false teacher. Our great defense is understanding what Christianity is. Legalistic religion is man reaching to God, trying to justify himself by keeping a list of rules. Christianity is God reaching down to man in love through Christ. Please join us in the second half of Colossians chapter 2 as we’re taught what Christianity is all about.

What Does a Mature Christian Look Like? Our best defense against falling into deception is to become mature followers of Christ. But there are all kinds of ideas on what a mature Christian is, from the way one dresses, to what one does for entertainment. But thankfully we aren’t left guessing, because Paul in Colossians chapter two begins the chapter by describing what maturity in the believer looks like.

Don't Move Away from the Gospel In the book of Colossians, we are dealing with a church that is under siege from outside forces seeking to move the church away from simple faith in Christ. As we close out our study in chapter one, Paul reminds us once again of who we were and what Christ by His grace has accomplished for us. He refreshes the memory of the Colossians that they have the very best, so why would they move away from it?

Our mindset, or attitude, impacts our relationships. Most people fluctuate between an inward mindset (pleasing self) and an outward mindset (pleasing others). But by the grace of God, we have been given the mind of Christ, a new attitude that reflects His presence in our lives. This message examines three aspects of Jesus' mindset as described by the Apostle Paul in Phil. 2:1-13.

Prominent or Preeminent Every false teacher seeks to make Jesus less than who He is. Many false faiths give Jesus a prominent position. Prominent means, “leading, important, or well-known." But where the Apostle Paul takes us in Colossians Chapter 1, is Jesus is to be “PREEMINENT” which means, “above or before others; superior; to be first, hold the first place." Join us in our study of Colossians Chapter 1 to see why Christ is far more than just prominent.

What Should We Pray For? The Apostle Paul was excited about was happening in the ancient city of Colossae. He wanted to see the good things that God was doing in and through His people to continue, and so to that end he prays for them. Often, we struggle to know what to pray for when we think about those we care about. Paul offered up four request for those that were on his heart. These same four requests are needed in the lives of believers today. Join us as we start a new verse by verse study in the book of Colossians to discover how to better pray for those that we care about.

Giving in shark infested waters   As we close out our study in Philippians the Apostle brings up the subject of giving. Often as Christians we’re conflicted because on the one hand we know we should give but on the other hand we know there are many who say they are of God and are not and should therefore not be supported. As the Apostle Paul told us earlier, there are many in the church whose god is their own belly. Join us in our study of the fourth chapter of Philippians, as the Apostle shares with us some guidelines for giving.
