In Hebrews 10:19-25, the author encourages us to never stop meeting together as a Church Body. In this passage, "LET US" statements are used to show us how it is essential that we fellowship in order for us to flourish in our relationship with Jesus Christ, the head of HIs Body, The Church.

In this final sermon from our series in Colossians, Pastor Nathan reflects on the closing salutations from Paul's letter and what a diverse group of people were working for Jesus' Kingdom by the time the Churches were founded! One day, every nation, tribe and tongue - every living creature in all of their diversity - will gather around God's throne singing His praises (Rev. 7:9)! This is the fulfilled Kingdom of God.

We have been made alive in Jesus Christ, and we are citizens of a different kingdom. Our words will reflect that! This sermon talks about prayer and sharing our faith stories with those around us as being primary ways we use our words as redeemed people.

We are to love our God, the Father, with everything we have. Our whole heart, our whole mind and our whole soul and strength. Let’s look at why we should love God and see how much God loves us.

In Paul's radically liberated household guidelines, he reveals that God elevates every person in the household ascribing to them dignity, honor and agency as people created in God's image, encouraging them to cooperate with one another in submission to Jesus Christ who is the head over all. Whatever they do should now be done for His glory alone!

Life by The Spirit takes us into the very heart of God for us where we live by what brings glory to God and what brings about the peace of Christ.

We have died with Christ so that we might be fully alive in Him! Now we just need to learn to live like it!

Every believer can experience resurrection daily; whenever one is needed. Whatever Jesus decides to resurrect in your life after you've fully surrendered will be made fully alive!

In our Easter sermon, we look at a story of Jesus interacting with a regular everyday person to see just how God wants to change us!

God is ALWAYS speaking through our lives. His work is developmental. We become rooted and built up in Christ through God's truth and time.
