Col 1:15-23 - Jesus the creator and sustainer of all things; he is God is the flesh; he is the author and agent of our salvation. He alone is worthy of our worship.

Col 1:1-14 - We shouldn’t be content with the temporary excitement that comes with conversion, but instead we should strive to continually grow in spiritual maturity and obedience every day of our lives.

The Father’s story and the Son’s love is not the end. We can access the presence of God in the Holy Spirit who lives in believers. The Spirit fills us with God’s power (gifts), releases in us God’s character (fruit), and disperses us into God’s world as His tangible presence.

God’s promise-infused story echoes with the love of God from start to finish. But that echo comes to startling clarity in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, God’s Messiah and One and Only Son. Jesus’ revelation of God’s love - His grace and truth - is what we most long for and most need.

Before earth’s creation, the Father formed a story built around His plan and promise to reveal Himself to humanity. We know and learn that there is something behind all that we are doing…not just something, but someone.

Marriage is more than just a promise, more than just a contract; it is a covenant between a man and a woman. We'll look at what that word "covenant" means and how to make the most of our partnership in marriage.

Many of us have experienced the excitement and thrill of pursuing someone in a dating relationship. But why does that excitement seem to diminish after the wedding day? Today we'll look at how we can continue to pursue our spouse and keep the spark in our relationship.

Priorities - we all have them and they effect every part of our lives: the choices we make, the words we say, the way we spend our time. The same is true in our relationships and marriages. Keeping our priorities in the proper place is the first key to a lasting marriage.

Most of us hang pictures of our family on our walls at home. Why? Because these are the people we love, care for, and are part of our family. They are the people who matter most to us. If God lived in a house, whose portraits would he hang on his walls? Would your picture be among them? This Christmas Eve, we'll look at what it takes to be a part of God's family.
