1 John 1:9 is often taught as a verse about ongoing confession of sin for forgiveness or to restore fellowship with Jesus, but that is not what that verse means!  John is addressing Gnostic unbelievers and showing them that if they confess they are sinners (which they did not believe) they will be forgiven and be saved.

1 John 1:9 is a verse about a one-time confession of sin to become a believer!

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 (Week 2 - That's Not What That Verse Means)

Philippians 4:13 is one of the most famous verses in all of the Bible, but many have stripped it out of context and use it as an inspirational slogan to tray and accomplish their dreams and goals.  That's not what that verse means.  In its context, Paul is talking about contentment.  Jesus gives him the strength to be content in whatever situation he is in.  

Philippians 4:10-13... 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength

In today's message, Guest Speaker, Dr. Aaron Glover, contrasts Old Testament practices and beliefs with the reality of Christ's teachings and the Christian faith, emphasizing that believers enjoy a direct and personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that Jesus is the cornerstone of God's spiritual house and that believers are made into living stones, built up in Christ as His Church.  As Jesus works in us and through us, He uses us to declare his praises as the One who called us out of darkness and into His wonderful light!

In today's message, our Discipleship Pastor, Steve Alberts walks us through personal struggles and encourages us to put our struggles up against God's holiness and majesty. We delve into the poetic structure and personal nature of Psalm 145, highlighting God's faithfulness and transcendent perspective. We explore the tension between God's greatness and our mundane struggles, emphasizing the need to focus on God's grace and mercy. We are encouraged to ask God to teach us more about Himself through our struggles, and to focus on the importance of trusting in God's control and sovereignty.

Psalm 145 - Awestruck
Discipleship Pastor - Steve Alberts

Paul makes his final greetings here, and the temptation can be to think that there isn't much application for us today.  However, what we see is how important team ministry was to the early church and therefore is for us today as well.  We all have a role to play in ministry as Jesus expresses His life through us.

Colossians 4:7-18... 7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant a in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. 9 He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here. 10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea. 17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.” 18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

Colossians 4:7-18 (Jesus Plus Nothing - Week 17)
Pastor Jason White
Modern Service (11:00 am)
05.19.2024

How do we approach outsiders when the church is becoming a minority in the culture we live in?  The early church was certainly a minority in their culture, and in this section, Paul has something to say being wise in the way we act towards those outside the church.

Colossians 4:2-6...
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Colossians 4:2-6 (Jesus Plus Nothing - Week 16)
Pastor Jason White
Modern Service (11:00 am)
05.12.2024

The gospel transforms the way we do relationships within our homes.  As Paul continues this practical section, he outlines how being a new creation in Christ applies to being a husband, wife, parent, and child.

Colossians 3:18-4:1...
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 
21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. 
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism. 
4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

As Paul continues to make practical applications that flow from our new life in Christ, he tells us to allow peace to rule in our hearts, let the message of Christ dwell among us, and do everything in the name of the Lord.

Colossians 3:15-17... 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:15-17 (Jesus Plus Nothing - Week 14)
Pastor Jason White
Modern Service (11:00 am)
04.28.2024

As Paul continues to make practical application to our new life in Christ, he teaches us to put on the clothes of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love.  These clothes are an outworking of the new creation we become in Christ at the moment of salvation.

Colossians 3:12-14...12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
