The First Cast

In this message from Colossians 1:9–14, we see that spiritual growth starts with what fills our minds, because what fills you shapes you.

As we grow in the knowledge of God, it changes how we live, producing a life that pleases Him and bears fruit. And that same growth strengthens us to endure hard seasons with patience and joy.

But at the foundation of it all is this: we grow because of what Christ has already done. He has rescued, redeemed, and forgiven us.

So the question is: Are you truly growing in Christ? Because when Jesus is over everything, He is over your growth.

3.29.26 - Message 4

In this message, we begin looking at what it means for Jesus to be over our growth from Colossians 1:9–14.

Paul prays that believers would be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, not just so they would know more, but so they would grow. Because here’s the key truth: What fills your mind shapes your life.

God’s will isn’t hidden. He’s revealed it in His Word. And in a culture that tears down truth, we’re reminded that what God says is not restrictive, it’s protective. So the question is simple: What’s filling your mind? Because whatever fills you will shape you.

3.22.26 - Message 3

Continuing in Colossians 1, Paul points to the evidence of the gospel at work in the lives of believers: love for others and hope in eternity. When our faith is placed in Christ, it begins to change how we see and treat people. Genuine faith produces love for the family of God and a confident hope that is anchored beyond this life.

When Jesus is truly over everything, the gospel doesn’t just change what we believe; it changes how we live.

3.15.26 - Message 2

At the heart of the gospel is a simple reality: Jesus + Anything ≠ the Gospel. Jesus + Nothing = Everything. Jesus is not meant to be one part of our lives; He is meant to be preeminent, first above everything. Saving faith transfers our trust from ourselves to the Savior, and when Jesus is truly over everything, it becomes visible in how we live.

In week one of Jesus Over Everything, we begin our journey through Colossians by looking at Colossians 1:1–5. Paul reminds the church that his message carries authority because he was sent by Jesus Christ. Christianity is not built on opinion but on God’s revealed truth.

3.8.26 - Message 1

In this Sunday morning message, Bryan Bozman takes listeners deep into Philippians 4:4-7 by unpacking the Apostle Paul’s call to “be anxious for nothing.” With both pastoral sensitivity and biblical clarity, Bozman challenges believers to reframe how they confront fear and worry, not by ignoring life’s pressures, but by bringing every concern to God in prayer with thanksgiving.

3.1.26

In the second half of this message, we see that courage is obedience in the presence of fear. Nehemiah was afraid, but he prayed, prepared, and moved anyway. Spectators say, “Someone should.” Leaders say, “Send me.”

As the wall was rebuilt, everyone had a section. The work was intentional, excellent, and shared. There were no spectators. And when opposition and distraction came, Nehemiah refused to step away from what God had assigned him: “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.”

The call is simple: lead out, make it matter, and stay on the wall.

2.22.2026 - Message 6

We begin with a sobering truth: churches rarely drift during crisis; they drift during comfort. When things are going well, it’s easy to relax, assume someone else will step up, and slowly become spectators. When everyone is responsible, no one feels responsible.

To see what leading out looks like, we turn to Nehemiah. For nearly ninety years, Jerusalem’s walls had been broken. The temple had been rebuilt. Life had normalized. But the city was still vulnerable. Everyone knew. No one acted.

Until Nehemiah heard the report and wept.

Leadership does not begin with a title; it begins with a burden. You cannot lead what you refuse to feel. Nehemiah’s holy discontent moved him to prayer, and prayer positioned him for action.

The question for us is simple: where have we grown used to broken walls? Because God does not rebuild through comfortable spectators, but through burdened leaders.

2.15.2026 - Message 5

What does it really mean to live sent? In this message, we explore how mission doesn’t start with going far; it starts with loving close. Jesus built His mission through ordinary people who were willing to show up, stay faithful, and be present in everyday life.

From the Great Commandment to the Great Commission, this teaching challenges the idea that mission is only for professionals and reminds us that every follower of Jesus is sent; into homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and beyond. Learn how proximity shapes influence, why obedience matters more than outcomes, and how faithful presence can change lives over time.

2.8.2026 - Message 4

In this message from John 15, we explore what it means to build a life that endures. Jesus reminds us that lasting fruit never comes from effort alone, but from staying connected to the true source of life. Shallow faith may look healthy for a season, but only deep roots can withstand storms and produce fruit that lasts.

This sermon unpacks the difference between being near Jesus and abiding in Him, the slow rhythms that form spiritual depth, and why pruning, though painful, is often God’s way of preparing us for greater growth. Along the way, we’re reminded that discipleship is intentional, community is essential, and the fruit God grows in our lives is meant to bless others, especially in our homes, and to glorify Him for generations to come.

Deep roots are not built by accident, and lasting fruit doesn’t grow overnight. When we remain in Christ, God does a steady, faithful work that endures long after we are gone.

2.1.2026 - Message 3

We live in one of the loudest times in history, yet many believers struggle to discern God’s voice. We pray, read Scripture, and listen to sermons, but still wonder, “Is God speaking to me?”

In this message from 1 Samuel 3:1–14, we walk through the calling of Samuel to learn how God speaks, why His voice is sometimes misunderstood, and how humility, attentiveness, and obedience shape spiritual discernment.

We discover:• Why God’s silence is often perceived, not real• How Scripture anchors God’s will• Why divided attention dulls spiritual clarity• How obedience deepens spiritual understanding

This message invites us to move beyond the noise and rediscover the simple prayer:

“Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.”
