Having a wedding is easy, but living together afterward is the real challenge! This Mother's Day, discover how God's original, counter-cultural design for marriage can transform your relationship and turn your home into a powerful reflection of the Gospel.

In this special Mother's Day message from our "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure" series, Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks unpacks Colossians 3:18-19 to reveal what a truly Christ-centered marriage looks like. Shifting from Christian doctrine to daily relationship duty, the Apostle Paul provides a radical blueprint for husbands and wives. We learn that a successful biblical marriage takes more than just two people; it requires keeping Jesus Christ as the supreme head of the household.

We dive deep into God's design for wives—respectful submission—and unpack how it is an empowering choice based on function, not value. Women are equal, divine image-bearers of God, and their faithful influence in the home is profound. For the husbands, the call is sacrificial, agape love. Men are challenged to step up as loving servant-leaders, elevating their spouse's needs, exercising self-control to avoid harshness, and becoming the "lead repenters" of their homes.

Whether you are married, single and looking toward the future, or in need of a fresh start after past relationship failures, this sermon provides a grace-filled look at how mutual respect and unconditional love can mirror the Gospel in your everyday life.

Are you living a divided life where your "church self" looks completely different from your "everyday self"? Discover what it truly means to do everything in the name of Jesus and how an attitude of gratitude can completely transform your daily grind!

In Message 13 of our series, "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure," Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks dives into Colossians 3:17, one of the most practical and challenging verses in the entire New Testament. When the Apostle Paul says, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,” he eliminates the imaginary line we draw between our spiritual lives and our secular lives. Your faith isn't something you clock into on Sundays and clock out of on Mondays. Instead, you are called to be a 24/7 ambassador for Christ—representing His love, humility, and truth in your home, at your workplace, and everywhere in between.

This message also tackles the powerful reality of spiritual warfare and how hard seasons often prove we are right where God wants us. No matter how difficult life gets, we are reminded to pursue His mission and respond with radical thankfulness. Gratitude is the ultimate weapon against complaining and entitlement; it transforms our stress into trust and our whining into worship.

Are you feeling isolated in your faith or unsure how to navigate difficult conversations with others? Discover how letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly can transform your relationships and empower you to walk alongside others in truth and grace!

In Message 12 of our series "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure," we dive into Colossians 3:16 to explore the power of biblical community. The Apostle Paul urges the early church to let the "Word of Christ dwell in you richly." This isn't just about surface-level reading; it's about deeply saturating your heart with Scripture so that it becomes as familiar as your own home. We quickly learn a foundational truth: you cannot give what you do not have. Personal devotion and a deep treasure of God's Word are essential before we can effectively pour into the lives of those around us.This sermon practically unpacks the mandate of "teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom."

Christianity was never meant to be lived in isolation. We are called to build trusted, Christ-centered relationships where we can speak life into each other. However, how we communicate matters. Truth without grace leaves wounds, but grace without truth misleads. By inviting mature believers to speak into our lives and humbly stepping into the lives of others, we grow together and fulfill our purpose as a unified church family.

Have you ever wondered what it truly looks like to live out your faith when relationships get tough? Discover the five powerful virtues every believer must "put on" to experience true peace, forgiveness, and unity in an imperfect world!

In Message 11 of our series "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure," we dive deep into Colossians 3:12-15 to see what it practically looks like to follow Jesus. Moving from foundational Christian doctrine to everyday Christian duty, we are reminded that because we are chosen, set apart (holy), and deeply loved by God, our lives should radically reflect His grace. The Apostle Paul challenges believers to intentionally "put on" a compassionate heart, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience—not just as suggestions, but as the daily wardrobe of a transformed life.But how do these spiritual virtues play out in the real world when people hurt us?

This sermon practically breaks down what it means to bear with one another and truly forgive. You'll learn that biblical forgiveness isn't about keeping score, ignoring the hurt, or acting like it never happened; it's a deliberate process of releasing the offense. Ultimately, we learn that agape love is the glue that perfectly binds all these traits together, allowing the peace of Christ to rule as the ultimate umpire over the chaos in our hearts.

Are you tired of trying to measure up to endless religious rules and expectations? Discover how to break free from spiritual exhaustion and hold fast to the true substance of your faith—Jesus Christ!In Message 8 of our series "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure," Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks unpacks the powerful truths found in Colossians 2:16-23. In a world full of pressure to conform to strict religious standards, the Apostle Paul warns the early church against falling into the traps of legalism, mysticism, and asceticism. These human-made rules may have an "appearance of wisdom," but they lack any real power to stop the indulgence of the flesh and only lead to burnout.Instead of chasing the "shadows" of religious rituals and traditions, we are called to hold fast to the "substance," which belongs entirely to Christ. This sermon breaks down what it means to be truly free in Jesus and encourages believers not to let anyone disqualify them or weigh them down with "do not handle, do not taste, do not touch" regulations. If you've been feeling the heavy burden of performance-based Christianity, this message will remind you that your spiritual growth, nourishment, and freedom come directly from the Head of the body—Jesus Himself!Timestamps[00:00] - Welcome to ONE Church & Opening Worship[08:08] - Message Begins: Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks[09:20] - Analyzing Colossians 2:16-17: The Shadow vs. The Substance[09:41] - Colossians 2:18-19: Don't Let Anyone Disqualify You[11:18] - Colossians 2:20-22: Breaking Free From Human Regulations[11:57] - Colossians 2:23: The Danger of Self-Made Religion[30:00] - Practical Application & Closing Thoughts#ONEChurchSC #Colossians #FaithUnderPressure #FreedomInChrist #ONEChurch #SermonSeries #EndLegalism ONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.

Stop letting guilt, shame, and cultural pressures dictate your life, and discover the true freedom of being rooted in Jesus. Learn how to silence the enemy's greatest weapon—condemnation—and start living from a place of absolute victory!In Message 7 of our "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure" series, we dive into Colossians 2:6-15 to uncover what it truly means to walk in Christ. The world constantly presents us with two deceptive rivals to the Gospel: culture, which tells us to "follow yourself," and religion, which tells us to "fix yourself." But Jesus offers a different path—He simply asks us to surrender. By being rooted, built up, and established in Him, we experience an overflowing gratitude that guards our hearts against these exhausting outside pressures.We also explore two powerful realities of a surrendered life: your old self is gone along with your completely canceled sin debt, and your spiritual enemy has been defeated and disarmed. The devil's greatest weapon is condemnation, but Romans 8:1 reminds us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Whether you are feeling stuck in your walk with God or carrying the heavy weight of past mistakes, this sermon will encourage you to let go of the guilt, forgive yourself, and fully embrace the grace of God.Timestamps[00:00] - Welcome, Prayer & Announcements[05:13] - Analyzing Colossians 2:6: How to Walk in Christ[07:26] - What It Means to Be Rooted, Built Up, and Established[17:11] - Rivals to the Gospel: Culture vs. Religion[24:23] - Two Powerful Realities of a Surrendered Life[25:25] - Reality #1: Your Old Self is Gone & Your Debt is Canceled[33:45] - Reality #2: The Enemy is Defeated & Disarmed[35:17] - Disarming the Enemy's Greatest Weapon: Condemnation[42:08] - Three Categories of Believers: Are You Still Carrying Shame?[48:15] - Closing Prayer & Altar Call Invitation#Colossians #FaithUnderPressure #NoCondemnation #ONEChurch #SermonSeriesONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.

The Apostle Paul expresses his great struggle and deep desire for the early believers—that their hearts may be encouraged and perfectly knit together in love.
