Have you ever marveled at the fact that a Holy God would save sinners such as you and I? It is incredible to think that a Holy God would see us, who are prone to wander and so easily distracted, and have mercy on us and save us from our sin.

In Colossians 2, Paul shares the great lengths that our savior went to so that we might be saved. This week, we will look at what Jesus has done on our behalf in Colossians 2:11-15.

I’d love for you to join us this week!

How many spam calls have you received this week? Is your email inbox full of junk trying to take advantage of you? It seems we live in a world that is constantly trying to deceive and take us captive. There is no shortage of "the next best thing" advertising that makes promises that it can't deliver.

In Colossians 2, Paul gave a warning to the Colossian Church. He urged them to not be deceived by the world around them; instead imploring them to walk in Christ. The fullness of God and truth.

How do we keep the word in our hearts? Join us as Pastor Brandon goes through Colossians 1:28-2:5.

Metro Atlanta is famous for our terrible traffic. Most of us have probably had the frustrating experience of being late for a meeting because we’re stuck in standstill traffic. We can become increasingly irritated as we boil over in exasperation and anger. 

Now imagine you looked over next to you to see someone blasting music, singing their guts, and experiencing what looks like real joy… in a traffic jam! We’d probably all draw the same conclusion, this is a strange time to be joyful. 

In Colossians 1:24-27, Paul makes a very strange statement, “I rejoice in my sufferings…” What?!?! Suffering is a strange thing to take joy in, even more strange than being joyful in a traffic jam.

In 1985, everyone who knew Joe Simpson believed he was dead. At just 25 years old, Joe and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, became the first people to scale the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Tragically, on the way down, Joe fell and broke his leg. As Simon tried to help him descend, Joe fell again—this time into a massive crevasse. It seemed certain he was lost forever and Simon returned to base camp, grieving the loss of his friend.

But then, three days later, Joe crawled back into camp. He had survived. Despite frostbite, exhaustion, infection, and permanent damage to his leg, Joe was alive. His story is almost too incredible to believe.

We’ve all heard stories like this—accounts of survival or hope that seem impossible. But perhaps the most unbelievable story of all is the resurrection of Jesus.

Jesus was crucified by professional Roman executioners, buried in a tomb, and three days later he rose from the dead. As unbelievable as that may sound, even more astonishing is the claim that his resurrection has the power to transform lives—even today, 2,000 years later.

As we enter the final week of our Neighbors and Nations campaign, we’re turning our eyes to the nations. This Sunday, we’ll focus on God’s heart for the world—His deep desire to see every tribe, tongue, and people come to know the hope and love of Jesus. While we’ve spent time talking about our call to reach our neighbors—those God has placed in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities—we also recognize the vast number of people across the globe who have never heard the name of Jesus. The mission doesn’t stop at our borders. From the Great Commission to the vision of the Great Multitude in Revelation, God is calling each of us to play a role in His global mission.

Whether you give, go, or pray, you’re a vital part of the Great Pursuit—a shared commitment to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Let’s finish this final week of Neighbors and Nations with diligence and zeal, trusting that God will use our obedience to make an eternal impact. Invite someone to join you this Sunday, ask God how He wants you to respond, and let’s be a people who live on mission—right where we are, and to the very ends of the earth.

Get ready for an incredible Sunday as we continue our Neighbors and Nations series! This week, Kevin Pounds will be preaching from Luke 10:25–37, bringing a powerful word about what it really means to love our neighbors—right here in Atlanta and across the country. Through the lens of the Good Samaritan, we’ll be challenged to see how God sends us to live on mission in our everyday lives.

We had a great start to our Neighbors and Nations Campaign this past Sunday!

We are engaged in this campaign because we believe that God is on a mission to rescue people from sin so that they can know Him. Amazingly, God invites His people to join Him in His mission. This means you have a place in God's mission in the world.

Last Sunday, we heard about the incredible ways God is at work around the globe through the International Mission Board. This Sunday, we’ll explore how we can join God on His mission in our everyday lives. God has a plan for all of His people, and that includes you! 

We're starting our 4th Neighbors and Nations campaign! Follow along as we learn about how we can give, pray, and go to make much of Jesus from our neighbors all the way to the nations.
