How would you define yourself? Successful, talented, weird, awkward? Colossians 3:3 says that we died to our current life and our real life is hidden in Christ in God. Because of this, we can live with our identity in Jesus. We'll ask 5 questions today to determine if our identity really is in Jesus. Because once Jesus has changed our hearts, it should be evident all over our lives.

We're continuing our study of Colossians - when Jesus rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into His own kingdom, He changed our nature too! No longer are we slaves to sin or in bad standing with God - he cancelled our sin and forever conquered our enemy. Praise God!

We're taking a look at Colossians 2:6-10 where Paul writes that as believers in Christ, we must continue to follow him and "let your roots grow down into him and let your lives be built on him." So what do we need in order to grow spiritually?

Pastor Steve is back today and he'll continue our study of Colossians. Paul writes in Colossians chapter 2 that he wants the church to be "encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love" and have complete confidence that they understand God's plan in sending Jesus for us. We're looking forward to unpacking this text some more this morning!

Today, our good friend, Dr. Harry Smith, joins us and shares what a relationship with Jesus looks like.

Colossians 1:15-23 is PACKED with a lot of information about who Jesus is. Jesus is the exact reality of God, given to us in a physical form. In Him exists all the majesty, supremacy, and love of a Creator, Lord, and Savior. And He invites us, who were once far from Him and His enemy, to draw close and submit to Him with a surrendered life.

Today we're kicking off a new study through the book of Colossians! Paul writes to the church at Colosse and prays that they would be strengthened by the Lord's glorious power so they would have all the endurance and patience they need. In this message, we look at Colossians 1:1-14 and learn how we can stand strong in our faith with the power, wisdom, and hope our Lord offers.

Today we have Pastor Victor Ochoa from Nuevo Amanecer (New Dawn), our church plant in Costa Rica! We love hearing from Victor as he shares what God's been doing in the lives of the people of Los Chiles!

Happy New Year OBC! Through all the trials and changes coming our way in 2023, one thing will stay the same: the faithfulness of our God and discovering more and more that His grace is sufficient for each trial.

Merry Christmas OBC! We love you and we hope you and your family have a wonderful, warm Christmas! Thank you Jesus for humbling yourself and taking on flesh, to live the life we never could and die in our place. We love you, Lord.
