Sunday, Nov 27, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: The fall had ruined creation but even in the text of the curse God had revealed a future hope. Centuries after that garden scene God made covenant with his people through the giving of the Law which was meant to be yet another reminder of need and revelation of future hope: One who would perfectly fulfill…

Sunday, Nov 20, 2016 Pastor Patrick Bowler: God demonstrated a remarkable restraint just moments after Adam and Eve's plummet into sin. This rhythm would continue throughout Scripture... Man's persistent rebellion and God's consistent grace. Praise God for the proto-evangelium "first gospel" in Gen. 3:15. What mercy, what grace, what love He has sh…

Sunday, Oct 23, 2016 Pastor Patrick Bowler: When it comes to the origin of the cosmos, what can we know and how can we know it? Are science and faith enemies or allies? How are we to view the six days of creation as recorded in Genesis 1? These are some of the questions we will face as we seek to discover God's intended purpose through the book of …

Sunday, Oct 09, 2016 Pastor Patrick Bowler: The book of Genesis confronted the pagan polytheism of ancient Egypt with a resounding, "One God." Today the book of Genesis likewise confronts the pagan philosophical naturalism of the West with a resounding, "God created." What does the book of Genesis have to say concerning your story, not just with re…

Sunday, Oct 02, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: As Paul closes out his letter to the Colossian church, he sends greetings from his many fellow workers and servants of Christ. There is much to learn from these men and one particular warning: do not take your eyes of of Christ. We have a place and purpose in God's kingdom, purchased by the blood of Jesus…

Sunday, Sep 25, 2016 Phil Prewette: Suffering in this world is inevitable, but we serve a God Who is active and present in our circumstances. The Gospel is not a defense against pain and suffering, but rather the message of God’s rescue through pain and suffering. God often demonstrates His sufficiency in the midst of our pain.…

Sunday, Sep 18, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: In this final piece of instruction Paul gives some very practical marks of the Christian life. First, an upward orientation of persistent, thankful prayer that is alert to will of God and the needs of the world around us. Second, an outward orientation of grace-filled and winsome speech making the most of…

Sunday, Sep 04, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: In this portion of Paul's letter to Colossae he now gives instruction regarding house order and household relationships of which marriage is the foundation. While there are similarities to other documents regarding house order, there is one important distinction: for Christians, house order is not simply …

Sunday, Aug 28, 2016 Pastor Steve McGuyre: God asks the Jesus follower to put on a heart of compassion. The phrase "compassionate hearts" comes from two Greek words that picture us showing deep love and forgiveness for those who are difficult to love. It's like the parables of the Good Samaritan, and the attitude of the father in the Prodigal Son. …

Sunday, Aug 21, 2016 Pastor Dan Jones: Paul gives us instruction on putting to death the old self so we can properly reflect Christ and our current standing with Him. We learn that for the Christian, not focusing on the things above, cause us to not reflect Christ. We learn that to not reflect Christ is to trample the gospel and what Christ did for…

Sunday, Aug 14, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: Following several warnings in the previous passages, Paul now urges the Colossian Christians to affirm that they have indeed been raised with Christ and because that's true, he instructs, minds and hearts should be oriented towards Christ. This plays out in Christian lives today as an "eternal perspective…

Sunday, Aug 07, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: Human religion is more dangerous than human philosophy when it puts a thin "Christian" veneer over religious effort and regulations. Religious pursuit is the pursuit of material things, much like prosperity theology today places transitory possessions as a measure of faith. When these material pursuits ar…

Sunday, Jul 31, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: This passage marks the beginning of the instruction piece of Paul's letter to Colossae and focuses mainly on worldly thought and philosophy that is not according to Christ. The tone for this instruction can be compared to a vaccine; you are safe where you are, do not be drawn out by empty philosophical il…

Sunday, Jul 24, 2016 Pastor Jason Ogden: It is no secret that the human body is created and designed to walk. Standing up on our own two feet…one foot in front of the other…step by step…from one location to the next…we are created and designed to walk. And likewise the same is true in our spiritual lives. And it is this "walking" that Paul is remin…

Sunday, Jul 17, 2016 Pastor Tanner Sheahan: The climactic summary statement of all we've studied so far is that in Christ are hidden all the treasure of wisdom and knowledge. Paul moves through the themes of struggle in his ministry to make Christ known the Gentiles and to the Colossian church. He shows us that Jesus is the motivation and the energ…
