  • 10 Popular Things Jesus Said

    10 Popular Things Jesus Said
    May 24 2024
    This is Part 1 of 2. Part 1 is 10 popular things Jesus said. Part 2 (to come) will be 10 un-popular things he said. His words are full of inspiration and hope! -- and also challenge and warning. All of them are true. Let's do some thinking: Do we like following a certain version of Jesus—a photoshopped Jesus who highlights what you like and crops out what you don't? Or the real Jesus of Scripture who is often so much more than we realize.

  • How does the peace of Christ rule in our hearts? [Sermon]

    How does the peace of Christ rule in our hearts? [Sermon]
    May 23 2024
    "And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts..." It sounds like a very, very good thing. But what specifically is "the peace of Christ"? What about the reference to our "hearts"? (Clearly, it's not just a muscle in your chest.) And how can that peace "rule"? If this idea is one of the most valuable things in the world which will benefit both us and the people we care about, shouldn't we be clear about what it means? This sermon explores these questions as we unpack Colossians 3:1-17.

    Christ is Lord—not the demonic realm or self-made religion (Growing Deeper with Colossians 2:6-23)
    May 12 2024
    Syncretism is blending beliefs and practices into your faith (which don't belong there). It's not that bad, is it? Yes, it is. The Colossians were blending other systems of thought, and also opening themselves to the demonic realm. This episode is a Bible study on Colossians 2:6-23.
