In the book of Colossians, Paul is writing a letter to the church of Colossae. Paul directs every bit of the attention to the head of the body, Jesus. Everything points back to Jesus. The three questions that must be asked are: (1) Are you in Christ?, (2) Are you allowing God to use us where He has placed us?, (3) Is God using you where He’s placed you? When a church body is in Christ and allows God to use them, then there are things to be careful of because the enemy wants to destroy what God is doing. A lost world is looking in and watching. Jesus was so passionate about protecting the fellowship. We have to be protective of the fellowship too. Listen to this sermon from part one of our In The Word series as we begin to walk through the book of Colossians.

In this episode of Let's Go, Pastor Jared looks back on Pastor Brian's message about The Day as we celebrated Easter. Everyone responds differently to the resurrection. When we meet Jesus wherever we are, He changes everything. He doesn't expect you to be a mile further in your journey before He will meet you. He meets you right where you are. The hope we have in His resurrection is everything. We have to slow down long enough to realize what God is doing. God is close to us but are we walking with Him. Are you slowing down long enough to recognize what He's doing? What are you doing with the resurrection?

Let's Go is a series of podcast episodes where we look back on the message from Sunday and take a look at how it applies to our life.

In this episode of Let's Go, Pastor Jared looks back on Pastor Brian's message about the Trial of Jesus in our Easter series called The Trial, The Death, The Day. The question we need need to be asking is, "What will we do with Jesus?" Are we going to choose Jesus or are we not going to choose Jesus? The influence of the world, the influence of evil, blinds us from the truth. It blinds us that we are guilty of our own sin. Are we going to stand on the truth or are we going to stand on what's popular? We can't just choose what the crowd is choosing. Ultimately, we have to decide if we are going to stand for the truth or stand for what's popular. Is Jesus everything for you? What will you do with Jesus?

In looking at the Trial of Jesus, we see we have more in common with Pilate, the governor of Judea, than we can imagine. As the crowd brings Jesus to Pilate for Jesus' trial, Pilate is faced with the question, "What shall I do with Jesus?" Pilate knows Jesus is innocent, but the crowd wants Jesus crucified. On the brink of a riot from the people, Pilate has to make the choice whether to stand on the truth or to stand on what is popular. Similar to Pilate, we have a decision to make every single day to choose whether we are going to stand on the Truth or stand on what's popular, what the world wants. What have you done with Jesus? Listen to this sermon from Palm Sunday 2021 in our Easter series called The Trial, The Death, The Day.

In this episode of Let's Go, Pastor Jared looks back on Pastor Brian's message about exercising dependence as we conclude The Lord's Prayer in our How To Pray series. God does not tempt us but He does lead us into tempting and trial. God loves us so much that He allows us to face trials and tests so that we will run and depend on Him. There is always a purpose for what He leads us to.

To say we are dependent is one thing, but to exercise dependence is another thing. The Lord's Pray is showing us and putting us in a posture of exercise dependence. We can say we want to be dependent on God, but it's a whole other thing to actually exercise that dependence. As the Lord's Prayer ends, Jesus prays, "do not lead us into temptation." In this verse, we are reminded that being obedient to Christ and following Christ is not always going to be easy. However, When we follow our Father's lead, it's an opportunity for Him to prove His faithfulness. We are not strong enough to fight the enemy. We are not strong enough to overcome. When we can't do it, we serve a God who already has. We must dependent on Him though. Listen to this sermon in the fifth part of our How To Pray series.

In this episode of Let's Go, Pastor Jared looks back on Pastor Brian's message about praying "give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts." Forgiveness is such an important and difficult part of the Christian life. We are to forgive as Christ forgave us. Who do we need to forgive? If there are people that we are not forgiving in our life, we are creating a prison for ourselves. We aren't walking in freedom. Jesus has made it possible for us to be forgiven and for us to walk in forgiveness. We forgive because we've been forgiven.

"Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." When Jesus prayed this in the Lord's Prayer, what did this mean of giving us our daily bread and forgiving our debts? In this part of the Lord's Prayer, we see the importance of surrender and how surrender leads to dependence. We must remember that God is our provider. Of all the many things He provides, we also see Him provide forgiveness. As a follower of Christ, when we ask God to forgive us, we are praying for Him to separate us from our sin. Because God has forgiven us, we must forgive others too. Listen to this sermon in the fourth part of our How To Pray series.

In this episode of Let's Go, Pastor Jared looks back on Pastor Brian's message about praying "Your will be done." It's one thing to say "Your will be done," but it's a different thing to walk in. The moment that we pray that His will be done and not our own, we are declaring war between our will and God's will. When we pray this prayer, we are bowing to God as Lord and saying for His will to be done. We must pray daily for God's will to be done. If we're truly praying that prayer, we are going to see immeasurably more in our lives, in our church, in our nation, in our world.
