Scripture: Philemon 15-25

Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead Pastor

Summary: Pauls letter to Philemon gives us a helpful example of forgiveness and reconciliation. We who have sinned and yet have repented and been reconciled to God in Christ, are called to reconcile to those who have sinned against us. This is possible by the spirit of God. May we forgive as Christ forgives us and be gladly reconciled to one another for his glory

Scripture: Philemon 1-14

Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead Pastor

Summary: Unforgiveness and the bitterness that results are a plague that causes ever-worsening problems with our theology, our relationships, and our joy. Living in light of God's grace to his people in forgiving our sin, we can in turn forgive others and experience the marvelous freedom Christ offers us.

Scripture: Mark 12:28-54

Pastor: Perry Cooke - Guest Speaker

Summary: Every action of Mark 12 is evaluated to see how God is glorified. The work we do is grounded in our love and faithful obedience to Him. We measure short and long term accomplishments of those we serve. (Are they reaching their goals? Are they engaged with gatherings of believers?) Mentoring individuals through their journey towards self-sufficiency has several “touch points”. These criteria must be satisfied in order to continue participating in any Mark 12 program.

Scripture: Colossians 4:10-18

Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead Pastor

Summary: The last sermon in our 5-month series in Colossians contains an overview of the whole letter and then turns to this final salutation. The apostle Paul closes his letter to the church at Colossae with greetings from his co-laborers and friends, and a few final words. These examples of faithful gospel workers and one who turns out not-so-faithful provide lessons for us to learn in our own walk with Jesus.

Scripture: Colossians 4:7-9

Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead Pastor

Summary: Tychicus and Onesimus were companions of the apostle Paul who were "fellow bondservants," with him in the cause of Christ. Consider who your heroes are, what faithfulness looks like and how we too might live faithful and heroic lives worthy of imitation.

Being “in Christ” changes everything in our lives, including our conversations. This passage teaches us how prayer, and specifically prayers for the spreading of the gospel, are central to the life of the maturing Christ follower, as are conversations with those who need to hear the gospel message.

Scripture: Colossians 3:18-21

Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead Pastor

Summary: Based on Colossians 3:18-21, this sermon emphasizes that the ultimate test of the Christian faith is not found in a church sanctuary, but in how believers apply God's transforming grace within their own homes. Living out and giving out God's grace - sacrificial love from husbands, joyful submission from wives, patient authority from parents, and willing obedience from children - can and should reflect the gospel. Families are encouraged to rely on the Holy Spirit and cultivate daily habits that make their households a gracious haven from a harsh world.

Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17 

Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead Pastor

Summary: Once Christians have put to death sinful hearts and habits, what fills the hole that leaves in their affections, appetites and actions? Followers of Christ must find their hope and identity as God's chosen, holy and beloved children. Putting away sin and putting on Christ transforms hearts and minds, churches and families.
