Don't Just Stand There - Pt 6 - Giving God His Day - Exodus 20:8-11 - Practice: Sabbath

The fourth commandment has been misinterpreted by God’s people since the very beginning. Some have obsessed over it, making it a legalistic tool to control others. And some have ignored it, treating it as irrelevant. But God gave us this commandment as a gift. When we honor God’s day, the benefits are

powerful.

Colossians - Pt 5 - According to Paul’s instructions in Colossians 4, a life centered on God must manifest as a strategic and gracious presence within the surrounding culture. Believers are called to balance a steadfast internal life of prayer with an external "walk of wisdom" that seeks out and redeems every opportunity to engage with others. Ultimately, our influence is determined by the "power of the tongue," requiring speech that is seasoned with grace to effectively represent the Kingdom of God to a watching world.

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 5 - Our contemporary lives are a blur. We oscillate between frenzied activity and passive doom-scrolling. Our souls need to recharge in God’s presence. The discipline of solitude is the answer. Here’s how to do it.

Colossians - Pt 4 - Drawing from Colossians 3:12–4:1, this study emphasizes that after "taking off" the old self, believers must "put on" a new garment woven from the love, peace, word, and name of Christ. These spiritual qualities should manifest in a life of thankfulness and worship, ensuring that every word and deed is done in the name of the Lord. This transformation ultimately reshapes how we submit to, love, and serve one another within our families and workplaces as if we are serving the Lord Himself.

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 4 - Jesus talked about money quite a lot for a homeless rabbi speaking to mostly impoverished people. Sixteen of his thirty-eight parables are about money, and most are encouragements to generosity. Being generous changes our eternity, but also changes us in the present. We’ll never regret being more generous to the Kingdom, but what are some practical steps to get us there?

Colossians - Pt 3 - Have you ever felt like your faith was becoming more about a checklist of rules than a relationship with Jesus? This week, we explored Colossians 2:16–3:11 to uncover why legalism can be so damaging to our church—trading the joy and freedom of Christ for fear, shame, and a "self-made religion" that doesn't actually change our hearts.

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 3 - If Jesus needed to get away and pray, how much more do we? This message will look at the prayer life of Jesus and give us a mark to aim for.

Colossians - Pt 2 - While the world often tries to capture our hearts through empty philosophies and human traditions, Paul reminds us that true maturity and fullness are found only in Christ. Because Jesus has reconciled us, canceled our debt of sin on the cross, and triumphed over every spiritual authority, we are called to remain stable and steadfast in our faith. By walking in Him and laboring with His powerful energy, we can live a counter-cultural life that reflects the mystery of "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 2 - Our root problem is sin, full stop. But since only Jesus can forgive sin, why should we confess our sins to one another? James clearly taught that this was a necessary discipline. In this message, we’ll see why.

Colossians - Pt 1 - To walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, we must actively bear fruit through good works, increase our scriptural knowledge, and rely on His power for endurance and joy. This transformation is only possible because we have been delivered from darkness and transferred into the kingdom of Jesus, the image of the invisible God and the sustainer of all creation. Ultimately, we are called to recognize Christ’s preeminence as the head of the Church and the only Redeemer who reconciles us to God through the blood of His cross.
