Teaching: Pastor Erica Lara
What holds your life together when everything feels like it’s falling apart? In this message, Pastor Erica continues A Better Witness by turning to Colossians and reminding us that only Christ, not culture, can truly be the center that sustains us. Using the image of a Jenga tower, she invites us to consider what happens when the pieces of our lives begin to shift. When our identity is built on fragile foundations, anxiety and striving take over. But when Christ is at the center, He holds all things together and gives us peace that cannot be shaken.

This teaching calls us to resist the pressure to define ourselves by culture and instead anchor our lives in who Jesus is. We are chosen, loved, and invited to live differently—clothed in compassion, humility, and gratitude. When Christ is our foundation, our lives become steady reflections of His love in a world that is always shifting.
