Colossians reminds us that we have been chosen. In a culture of abandonment, God has chosen us, transformed us, and set us apart (made us holy), and gushed over His great love for us. As he looked at our potential in Christ, he purchased us through the blood of Jesus so that we could be experience a new life at home with Him, completely forgiven.

Colossians reminds us that because of Jesus, we are not who we used to be! Because we have been chosen and purchased by His blood, we are a new creation, filled with new potential in all of our relationships.

Like any home renovation there comes a time in our lives when demo is necessary. This week we’re digging into Colossians 3 together. We're going to talk about what it means to remove the things that are keeping us from looking more and more like Jesus in our own fixer upper process. See you Sunday!

In the book of Colossians, Jesus is regarded as the architect and blueprint of our faith. If we are fixer uppers (and we clearly are), we are meant to be built by Jesus alone. We cannot incorporate blueprints from other sources like philosophy or religion and add them to our Jesus. He must stand alone.

Join us this weekend as we explore the things we try to blend with Jesus that can actually impede the renovations He wants to do in our lives.

This fall we've been talking a lot about what a disciple is. We just finished up a series looking at the difference between a Fan of Jesus and a Follower of Jesus. We're excited to jump into the book of Colossians for the next 10 weeks to continue our conversation about discipleship.

This Sunday we're answering the question "who is Jesus?" It'll be a good one!

Fans look at their stuff and say, "I’m the owner of my stuff because I’m the provider of my stuff.” But a follower says, “All my stuff, it belongs to God. It’s only on loan to me. I don’t get to keep any of it.” Stewardship is the reality. Ownership is the myth. Join us this weekend as we discuss the differences between fans and followers when it comes to their resources. At the end of the day, if God doesn’t have some of your resources, he doesn’t have you.

When it comes to the Christian life, you are meant to walk, not crawl. In fact, you can’t follow Jesus by crawling. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to walk! Join us this weekend as we have a conversation about the great secret of walking that is central to the Christian Life.

We live in a world obsessed with finding love. When the Bible talks about love, it does so from a completely different perspective. It speaks of love, not as an emotion, but as a choice or a decision. Join us this weekend as we have a conversation about the immense power of love.

What is a disciple? This week we answer that question by looking at Matthew 4:19. "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."

Baptism is a picture of a new life! This weekend we have the amazing opportunity to celebrate what God is doing here at SCC through the ancient practice of baptism. We also have a special message from our Elder Jim Johnson.

Join us this Sunday as we begin a brand new series called, “Fan or Follower?” Not only will we have a lot of fun together, you’ll also have the opportunity to think on this vital and eternal question. So much begins to make sense when you figure out the truth about your relationship with Jesus.
