Read More“THE RICH YOUNG RULER” MATTHEW 19:16-22
The passage is Matthew 19:16-22. The story is the Rich Young Ruler. The question is, “How did Jesus present the gospel to this man?” The answer is not what you might expect. It is certainly not how a lot of evangelism is done today.
Read MoreHow Much Are You Forgiven? Matthew 18:21-35
This Sunday, we’re going to look at Matthew 18:21-35, where Peter asks, ‘How many times can my brother sin against me and I still have to forgive him?’ Christ’s answer reveals the limitless love that our Father has for us.
Read MoreJesus Is Your Life: At Work Colossians 3:22-4:1
We finish our series in Colossians 3 by examining Colossians 3:22–4:1. Is Jesus Your Life At Work? In this passage, Paul talks about the relationship between masters and slaves but as we apply it to our context today, we will discuss how we can magnify the Lord at work. Now, more than ever, people view work as a dread and a curse resulting from the fall. This is not true! Work existed before the fall and we can find great joy in our work if our hearts are focused on pleasing the Lord through it!
Read MoreJesus Is Your Life: At Home Colossians 3:20-21
We continue in Colossians 3:20–21 as Paul gives instructions to the family. What makes a great home? How can families work? Jesus must be your life. It is a love for Christ and a desire to obey Him that will lead children to obey their parents. It is the love, patience, and forgiveness found in Christ that leads parents to shepherd their children in a way that glorifies Him. The home will be transformed and used for His glory if it is centered on Christ!
Read MoreJesus Is Your Life: In Marriage p2 Colossians 3:19
We will consider Colossians 3:19 as Paul again reminds us that Jesus is Your Life: In Marriage (part 2). This time, the focus is on the husband as Paul says, “Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them.” In just one verse there are two vital commands that, if obeyed by the power of His Spirit, will completely transform and restore a marriage.
Read MoreThree Qualities of a Usable Servant Isaiah 66:1-2

Read MoreJesus Is Your Life: In Marriage Pt. 1 Colossians 3:18
Paul gives A Message To Women in Colossians 3:18: “Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.” Submission is the theme as the Lord calls on all wives to submit to their husbands as if they are submitting to the Lord directly. Submission should not be viewed as a prison or some lesser role or responsibility, but rather as the greatest expression of your devotion to Christ and your husband.
Read MoreChristians Are Different P2 – Colossians 3:15-17
we continue in Colossians 3:15–17 as we consider Part 2 on how Christians Are Different. In a world filled with anger and war, Christians are controlled by peace as we follow the Prince of Peace. In a discontent, ungrateful, and never-satisfied culture, Christians are marked by thankfulness! Believers stand out as different from the world when the word of Christ lives deep in our hearts and drives everything we do, say, and think.
Read MoreChristians Are Different P1. Colossians 3:10-14
We continue in Colossians 3:10–14 as Paul will lay out how Christians Are Different. True Christianity is not just a list of negative do-nots but as we look to Christ, who is our life, we are also encouraged to put on the new self! This passage will remind us of our identity in Christ, the amazing grace He has lavished upon us, and His incredible love which drives us to become more like Him.
Read MoreDie to Self Colossians 3:5-9
Colossians 3:5–9 will reveal to us the answer to our problem: we must Die to Self. In a culture that encourages us to join in worshipping and indulging in our immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, and greed, which amounts to idolatry – Christ will call us to FLEE and put our sin to death.
Read MoreJesus Is Your Life Colossians 3:1-4
We begin with Colossians 3:1–4 as Paul calls on all believers to Set Your Mind. The world may offer an abundance of substitutes to satisfy your soul – sex, money, possessions, achievements, power, and more – but there is only one who offers true and lasting satisfaction: Jesus Christ.
Read MoreLiving Everyday Life for Christ
A special message, a unique time for us as a church that must not be missed – we will walk through God’s Word, focus on some of our distinctives, and teach on LIVING EVERY DAY FOR CHRIST. This time in the Word will be a combination of a church report, a teaching-pastor update, encouragement to look for opportunities, a challenge to do things God’s way, and an update on where we’re going.
Read MoreThe Amazing Authority of Christ Matthew 7:28-29
In Matthew 7:28–29, we conclude by considering The Amazing Authority of Christ. The sermon on the mount wraps up with the reaction of the crowd to Christ, which was AMAZEMENT without repentance. This Sunday, we will examine our hearts, embrace the greatness of our SAVIOR, and learn much about him.
Read MoreThe Rock of Assurance Matthew 7:24-27
Christ will remind us of The Rock of Assurance we all need. Christ will teach us the only way to survive the storms of life and the final storm of judgement is to build our lives upon the solid ROCK of Christ as our only foundation. May we all be able to sing and proclaim together: “On Christ, the solid rock, I stand!”
