New Life Downtown

In this conclusion of the series, Pastor Glenn Packiam calls us to see how the Kingdom of God is made visible by the Church, and how the Kingdom kind of life is made possible by a certain kind of community. We come to see why Paul's outworking of the Gospel announcement that Jesus is King was to plant churches. In the final words of Paul's letter to the Colossians, we see that each local church is called to be a community of difference, remembrance, and grace.

When we think about how we are to live as the church in the world, we can be tempted to pick one of two approaches: prayer or presence. Is the church called to pray for God to work or is the church to participate in God's work by being engaged in the world? Paul's charge to the Colossian Christians is to do both. Pastor Glenn Packiam exhorts us to learn from Paul's words and be a praying church and a present church.

Belonging to Jesus means being formed into a new family. But families are messy and made up of broken people. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see the wisdom and the power of Paul's radical call to let the peace of Christ reign in us, to let the Word of Christ dwell in us, and to do everything in the name of Christ.

According to Paul, the gospel establishes not only our future hope, but also our present way of life. This week Pastor Jason Jackson shows us how this works out. Because we already died with Jesus and have been raised by Him, we can take off what kills and put on what gives life. We can set aside things like lust, greed, anger, and falsehood and clothe ourselves in the image and ways of Jesus.
