Pastor Tom Hendrikse continues through Colossians 2, showing us that when Jesus is over everything, He gets the final word over what we believe, what we do, and what we fear. Because Jesus has forgiven our sin, canceled our debt, and triumphed over every power and authority, we can stop trusting in our own performance and instead root our lives in Him.

Pastor Tom Hendrikse continues through Colossians 1, showing us that Jesus really is over everything—the One who created all things, holds all things together, and gave Himself for us on the cross. Because we were created for Jesus, not simply to make Him a part of our lives, we’re challenged to trust Him with what we’re trying to hold together and surrender every part of our lives to Him.

Pastor Tom Hendrikse opens Colossians by exploring what it means to truly know Jesus and live a life transformed by Him. When Jesus is over everything, what we know about Him changes how we live—shaping our faith, producing love, and calling us to surrender our whole lives to the One who has rescued, redeemed, and forgiven us.

This week, Bethany Christian Head of School, Erik Most, explores Jesus’ words in John 14:6—“I am the way, and the truth, and the life”. As the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus brings us to the Father, fully reveals God to us, and gives His people life now and for eternity.

Pastor Tom Hendrikse closes our study of Matthew by looking at the resurrection of Jesus in Matthew 28. Jesus Christ is actually, physically, and literally risen from the dead, and that changes everything. So the question is simple: What are you going to do with that?

Pastor Sam Kastensmidt walks through the Passion of Christ in Matthew 26–27, inviting us to see the cross not only as the place of Jesus' physical suffering, but as the ultimate display of His love through betrayal, rejection, and sacrifice. As Jesus willingly gave up everything to redeem His people, we're challenged to respond like Mary of Bethany—with wholehearted worship, surrender, and gratitude for the Savior who considered us worth the cost.

Teaching Elder, David Richardson, walks through Jesus' parables, inviting us to examine the condition of our hearts and consider how we are responding to His Word. As we see the incomparable worth of God's kingdom, we're invited to turn to Christ today and ask Him for a growing passion to see others come to know Him.

Pastor Charlie Halleran walks through Jesus' parables, challenging us to consider the condition of our hearts and how we respond to His Word. As we see the surpassing worth of God's kingdom, we'll be invited to turn fully to Christ and ask Him for a growing passion to reach those who don't yet know Him.

Pastor Tom Hendrikse reminds us that following Jesus is a costly mission, but in going where He sends us, we gain something far greater: Christ Himself. As Jesus calls His disciples to live without fear, we'll be challenged to trust Him, choose obedience over comfort, and boldly move toward the people He's calling us to reach.

Pastor Sam Kastensmidt reflects on what it means to love our neighbors and faithfully live as followers of Christ. As we celebrate God's faithfulness to our nation, we're reminded to fix our hope not on earthly kingdoms, but on Christ and His unshakable kingdom.
