October 31, 2022 If Jesus is supreme, you'll be alive.
Our friend and co-founder Alice returned to us from London (not for long,
but we’ll take what we can get) to speak about what peace and submission
look like in Jesus-centered community. In Paul’s day, power imbalances
between husband and wives, slaves and masters and parents and child may
have looked a little different to how they do today, but the driving force
behind them remain the same; we give up power we follow Jesus. And when we
do so we always win.

October 10, 2022 If Jesus is supreme, you'll be free.
The rules of human wisdom lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence,
says Paul at the end of Colossians 2. Only Jesus, and what he has done, can
solve the problem of your flesh. This weeks talk examines how mystics and
aesthetics have, throughout the ages, gone to great lengths to receive more
of god, which raises the question, why is it that when we are weakest, we
are strong? This one is for those of us who feel stuck and backed into
corners right now. Be encouraged.

October 03, 2022 If Jesus is supreme, you'll be full.
The letter of Colossians was written to a people pulled in many directions
by tricksters and gnostics saying the same thing: “You only have half of
what you need. You’re half full.” Truthfully, life and the world can often
press this same message upon us. Is it true? Its the age-old message that
can lead us to fill ourselves with things we need when in reality, Jesus is
the antidote for any sense of emptiness we may have. Jesus makes empty
people full. This is what he’s done from the very beginning. He invites us
to live full in him but it means we need to make him the center. As we do,
he grows us and we become more full of his life, love, and joy.

September 19, 2022 If Jesus is Supreme: Intro to Colossians.
We’re all called to mature our faith. Paul’s letter is a roadmap to
maturity. In his introduction he sets out the foundations for the journey.
The starting point is the grace of Jesus (1:2), the supreme authority in
life and the universe. The Colossians have truly understood grace (1:6) and
so must we. Let us not water it down or compromise it. Because the degree
to which become experts in the full knowledge and understating of grace is
the degree to which we are able to let Jesus’ supremacy rule over our whole
lives. In turn, the more we allow Jesus to reign supreme the more our lives
will reflect his character and the more we will mature. Jesus is the
beginning, middle and end of the journey.
