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.

How do we grow? For some, the answer sounds like more rules and restrictions; in short, religion. For others, the key is in more transcendent experiences; in short, spirituality. But Christianity is neither asceticism nor mysticism. It's power is not in its practices or in its experiences. Rather, as Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see, the way we grow as Christians is to be connected to the Life of Christ and to the Body of Christ.
