Kindred Church

We’re taking a short break from our study of Colossians as we navigate this unique and challenging moment in the life of our church. Displaced and still searching for our next home, it would be easy to let discouragement and disappointment steal our hope. This week we’re reminded of a story from the book of Acts featuring Paul and a woman named Lydia that inspires us to keep trusting, believing that every rejection is a redirection.

We are currently in a temporary location at Vista Ridge Academy (3100 Ridge View Dr., Erie, CO) through August 31st, 2025.

When we talk about simple grace (see "A Simple Kind of Life"), a natural question develops – how , then, are we supposed to live – and what about all of the behaviors that Paul talks about over and over again? Don’t they matter? Great question – of course behaviors matter, theological stances matter – they just aren’t the point. Jesus and his work is, the rest is what we learn and grow in for the rest of the time we spend on earth. We change as people to act more and more like Jesus not because it’s a rule, but because our wants and desires are more like Jesus’s when we are close to Jesus. Rules don’t change hearts, laws don’t make obedient citizens. But there are a lot of guidelines even here from Paul about what life COULD look like with a changed heart that craves the good life. So today, as we enter into chapter 3, this is “The Other Side of the Coin.”

Colossians chapter 2 is Paul at his best – cautioning the Colossian church (and us today) about the influence of teachers that infiltrate Christian circles with the intention of confusing people, furthering strange agendas, or making personal profit. We explore what it looks like to be rooted and begin to grow in the simple message and ways of Jesus: that Jesus is sufficient for all that we want and all that we need.

Today we begin our look at the book of Colossians, an ancient letter written to an ancient people trying to make sense of the way of Jesus among a diverse and spiritually confused culture. Being woven together is a powerful vision for the meaning of life, and an invitation out of darkness and into the Kingdom of Light. Together we’ll begin to explore these question, “If Jesus holds power over death, Jesus is LORD. If Jesus is LORD what does that mean for the darkness and evil and corruption, I see around me? If Jesus is LORD, what does it mean for authority and power and empires and government? If Jesus is LORD, what does it mean for communion and connection with people I was taught to despise?”

In the final week of our Jonah series, we are confronted with God's mercy and justice. How can both be true? This seeming incompatibility was the source of Jonah's rage, bitterness, and self-righteousness. As Jonah is brought face to face with his own hypocrisy, we are invited to examine what keeps us cut off from compassion and cut off from God.

Jonah is about more than a man being swallowed by a mystical giant fish. It is about complex themes like mercy, hate, and redemption. It’s about the parts of our heart bent toward judgement and self-righteousness and our own fallibility. It begs us to ask, "Can people really change?" We're meant to see that Jesus’ journey to the depths of hell and out the other side – his death and resurrection - is more sufficient than Jonah’s and all those who have come before him to soften our judgement, to shift our biases, to give us a new heart bent toward love and grace and compassion.

In the story of Jonah, we get the familiar tale of a man swallowed by a giant fish - but before we get there, we start by looking at why it happened. It centers on the idea of the places that we love and the people that we sometimes loathe. As Jonah faces his own version of this, we also explore how Jesus handled the same question and how his answer sets his followers apart still today.

It's our fifth Father's Day at Kindred! This year, we asked our Board Member and admired father, Bob Bush, to share with us. One thing to know: Bob fell in love with Disney in Orlando as a campus minister with CRU. Today, he expertly navigates life lessons and the unique way that Disney Dads can shepherd us towards loving more like our Heavenly Father.

Bob makes great use of clips that we can't keep in the audio, but you can find each one below and follow along!

Wrapping up a month in the Psalms, we look into Psalm 136 and the extraordinary love of God. Zeroing in on the Hebrew word HESED, today’s message unpacks the depth of the concept of a faithful God, ultimately expressed in Jesus himself. We will discover that God is with us in this life, in our triumph and in our hardships. Even when silence fells like we’re being ignored or forgotten, we can remember the HESED, the promise of covenant, divine agreement, the commitment on the part of our Creator God.

We are joined by our friend Jason Nelson who dissects Psalm 90 - showing us how these ancient words attributed to Moses still are relevant to us today. Jason challenges us as we walk in times of praise and times of lament to embrace the life that we have and that continues to unfold in the days laid out before us.
