Olathe College Church

It seems to get more and more difficult each day, to respond to the world around us without starting some sort of argument! If you've ever felt the pressure of responding differently to a situation, but never quite understood why, that's exactly why Peter - the guy who Jesus called "the rock I'm going to build my church on" - wrote his letter to the brand new followers of Jesus. So how can we remain faithful in a hostile, unbelieving world?

With the rule and reign of culture pressing in, how should we act and respond? When non believers look at people who claim to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, what should they see? How are followers of Jesus Christ to use their freedom? Peter's perspective in chapter 2 of his first letter was written for people living in a pretty similar time to what we're experiencing now - he even called it exile, that they were like foreigners.

When the past is so full of despair and anxiety, what does it take to get up and go forward? When the circumstances of the day continue to change, planning for tomorrow can seem futile. Can anything really make a difference for tomorrow?

Hope in today's world is pretty UNCOMMON. But that's just what Peter was pointing the people of God to!

Have you ever thought about giving up? Throwing in the towel? Psalm 146 and 2 Kings 13 serve as a reminder that despite our exhaustion with life's circumstances and frustration with the current realities, that God has great plans for you.

Listen along to this week's message! Full services are available for a time, here:

If your idea of hosting a party includes inviting people who can't return the favor, then this story is a familiar one. But if you're like most of us, who prefer to spend time with people who look and think just like us, then Luke's story in chapter 14:12-24 might change the way you think about having friends over for dinner.

Join us as we explore Acts 17:27-34 and Paul's call to share the Good News of Jesus with those around us (our Oikos).

Let's take a look at the story from the Gospel of Mark, as the religious leaders gathered around Jesus to challenge Him, and how Jesus pointed those who had gathered to listen to a greater truth about what it meant to love God.

Jesus often used parables, to share Gospel truths with anyone who would listen.

In today's story from the Gospel of Luke, Jesus was confronted by the religious leaders who knew what the Old Testament required of them. Jesus goes a step further, exposing the prejudice of his listeners and awakening His followers to a new reality. Love for God and Love for Neighbor.

As we begin this series, join with us in worship and let's allow God to open our eyes and to work within our hearts to follow Him in greater and greater ways.
