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.

A distorted view of grace makes us prone to believing in counterfeit gospels. Two of the most common distortions of grace are license and legalism. Amber Ayers helps us recognize how we tend to swing from one error to the other and miss the transforming power of the Gospel. The Good News is that Christ brings resurrection, not repair, and leads us into freedom.

We make meaning of our lives by narrating a story. But what would it be like for God to tell you your story? At the end of Colossians 1, Paul tells this young church their story according to the contours of the Gospel. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see what our past, present, and future looks like because of Jesus. What we find is the incredible hope of the Good News-our story is headed for glory!

In this special interview with New York Times best-selling children's book author Sally Lloyd-Jones, Pastor Glenn Packiam and his wife Holly ask Sally to share the story behind her award-winning "Jesus Storybook Bible". Through her stories, we discover the power of the True Story of Jesus the Rescuer and the Repairer of broken things.

There is arguably no figure more fascinating, more controversial, or of more consequence in all of human history than Jesus Christ. Did legends and mythologies about Jesus appear a century or two after his life, or were there confessions of His divinity as early as a few decades after his life? Preaching from what is often called the Christ-hymn in Colossians 1, Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see the remarkable claims Paul made about Jesus, and why they matter not only for the young Colossian church but for us today.

The apostle Paul writes from prison to a young church struggling to hold onto the truth. The heart of his message will be the supremacy of Jesus Christ. But here at the start, Paul wants them to learn how to pray. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us understand how prayer is a way of participating in God's work, what we should pray for, and why prayer is powerful.

Unlike the other commandments, which address words and actions, the 10th Commandment addresses the motives and desires. God forbids us from obsessively desiring what is not ours. As Pastor Jason Jackson points out, coveting is a root sin that leads us to break the other commandments. Therefore, God invites us to desire and delight in what He's already given us.
