Pastor Dave Dooley teaches on Colossians 3:23-4:1. He relates this portion of scripture to our modern day work place but goes back to Paul's words from 3:17, that in whatever you do , do it for the Lord. Take a listen and see how the Holy Spirit will challenge you to live out your life in Christ in the work place!

Pastor Ben Hartford teaches from Colossians 3:18-22 in week 10 of our series through the book of Colossians. In this portion of scripture we see how to be a servant of all even through different cultural contexts. We look at the wife, the husband, and children and see how each can serve the Lord first and each other.

We welcome our intern pastor Bailey Sonnenberg to preach through our 9th week in the book of Colossians. He covers Colossians 3:12-17 on living as God's chosen people. The people of God forgive as they have been forgiven, with love as their motivation, so they can do all things as an expression of worship.

Pastor Justin Braun teaches through Colossians 3:5-11 on our baptism Sunday! He talks about how we have been made new in Christ and no longer live according to our fleshly desires; encouraging us to remember who we are in Christ.

Pastor Dave Dooley teaches from Colossians 3 on week 8 of our Colossians series. We what it means to set your hearts on things above and how to set your minds on things above. In being a living sacrifice for Christ and not focussing on the worldly view and circumstances of this life, we find our purpose in Him!

Pastor Ben takes us through week six of our series in the book of Colossians. In Colossians 2:16-23, Paul talks about how as Christians we are free from the religious ideology of works based salvation. Christ alone is enough. From the cross, to the grave, to the resurrection, the work of grace and salvation through Jesus Christ is all sufficient. The fruit and spiritual disciplines of a believer's life are not a merits earned out of their own doing according to the flesh, but is the work of the Holy Spirit. So stop striving to "act more religious", just be in a relationship with Jesus!

We welcome our newest Pastor, Dave Dooley, to bring us into week 5 of our Colossians series. He takes us through chapter 2:6-15, where Paul is encouraging the church to be rooted in Christ, built up by Him, and to be strengthened in faith just as we were taught. Pastor Dave reminds us that our changed life in Christ is all through the divine workings of Him in us and not of ourselves. Remembering that we have received Christ and are continually alive in Him, we can have an overwhelming response of gratitude.

Pastor Justin teaches from Colossians 2:1-5 in week 4 of our study through Colossians. Justin teaches on Paul's words about the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge that are found in Christ. In knowing Jesus and seeing the world how He sees it, we can have victory.

Pastor Justin ends chapter 1 of Colossians teaching through verses 24-29; where Paul talks about rejoicing in his suffering. Pastor Justin teaches us through Paul's example how we can have victory in the midsts of trials. Christians are called to have strength, endurance, patience, stability and steadfastness all through the power of God by daily living in His presence.

We have the privilege of inviting guest speaker and pastor, Eric Smith, to come share with us the impact that Christians are making in Germany with the organization, Church in Action.
