Special Guest Steve Pavek from Chi Alpha University of Alaska Anchorage shares a impactful message on the power of God in our lives.

Continuing in the book of Colossians 3,we see that God is calling us to put on love. And, God desires His love to infiltrate every part of our lives. This is not a part-time gospel. His love should impact our family, marriage, our job, and our neighbors. It is a full-time gospel that demands our complete surrender.

Guest Speaker Steve Pavek and his wife Erin are Chi Alpha Missionaries to University of Alaska Anchorage. They have planted and pioneered a Chi Alpha movement in Alaska that has changed the social fabric of the state. This week Steve shares his heart on risking it all for Jesus.

God has never lost sight of who He's made you to be! Our identity is firmly rooted in Him. Often times, however, we take our eyes off of Jesus and put them onto ourselves or our situation. We then allow life to define who we are instead of Jesus. In Colossians 3, Paul encourages us to throw of the old you and put on the new.

God has destined us all for something far greater than we could ever imagine. One of the things that often keeps us from stepping into what God has is the fear of man. In Colossians 2, Paul reminds us that it is Jesus who in the ends judges us all, so we should live the with fear of God governing our hearts.

Anything of value costs us something following Jesus will surely costs us something. He offers His free gift of grace and we receive it and are empowered by it. But, we are called to lay down our lives and step out in obedience which will definitely cost us something in this life.

It is difficult to follow someone you do not know. And, for many of us we struggle to follow Jesus. There are many deficient views of Jesus circulating in our culture and if we are not careful we can start to believe Jesus is someone who He is not. So who is Jesus?

This week we begin a new series entitled "Ready in Christ". Over the next 9 weeks we will be studying through the book of Colossians. As a church, God has been and is preparing us for a great move. We have a simple prayer that says, "God, we're ready!".

Guest speaker Daniel Quinby is the Chi Alpha Director at the University of Northern Iowa. He, and his wife Emily, serve as missionaries to UNI with a desire to reach every student for Jesus and see God's power in action on campus. Daniel shares with us this morning on kingdom power.

In the place of worship we do battle against the enemy. Our weapons are thanksgiving, praise, and worship! By running hard after Jesus, we will be activated to take back what the enemy has stolen. Join us as we discover the power of our worship.
