In this message of the series, Colossians: Through Him And For Him, Lead Pastor Dr. Tim Johnson looks at Colossians 2:1-10. Paul reminds the people of Colossae not to be fooled by false teachers who promised insider, secret spiritual understanding that is inconsisten with Christ. Only the full understanding of Christ can keep believers from being deceived. 

 Dr. Tim Johnson continues the series, Colossians: Through Him And For Him, by looking at Colossians 1:15-29. Paul emphasizes the preeminence of Christ or how He is superior in who He is and surpassing in all He does. He is the image of the invisible God. Rather than being focused on our shrunken kingdom of ourselves we should focus on the magnificence of God.

Dr. Tim Johnson begins the series, Colossians: Through Him And For Him, by looking at Colossians 1:1-14 and why, just like ballast is important to a ship, Christ is the ballast in our lives and important to our well-being.  We are to bear fruit and growing. 

Dr. Tim Johnson concludes the series, Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, by speaking with the Central Asia team and others about their experiences.

Dr. Tim Johnson continues the series, Jars of Clay: God's Power in Our Weakness, by looking at the life of Paul (formerly Saul). Formerly a persecuter of followers of The Way, Saul had an unexpected encounter with Jesus that transformed his life despite all of the things that he had done. Likewise, we are not regulated to what we might be currently or were or in the past. It can be used by God.
