On his last Sunday at Creekside before he and Karen move to Indiana, Norb Metzler imparts Biblical wisdom for growing Christians rooted in Colossians 3:1-17 and a host of other scriptures. Norb challenged us with seeing the spiritual benefit in five disciplines—daily Bible study and prayer; worship with other believers; God-honoring music; evangelism; and suffering. Followed by announcements and a choir performance of "As the Deer", Norb's message is briefly interrupted by a false fire alarm. Pastor Steve closes the service with a prayerful send-off for the Metzlers.
