It doesn't take a lot of time to find someone who has had a negative experience with a Christian that made them question the reality of faith. This week we look at Paul's words in Colossians that teach us to fill our language with grace and with insight, and to build others up with the way we speak.

Prayer is wierd! There's really no getting around the fact that as followers of Jesus we believe we can talk to a person we cannot see, but the bible commands us to pray. This week we look at what prayer is, and why it matters so much.

This week we look at what God's ideas for how we treat each other are, and how they affect the way we live every day; from marriages, to friendships, to work relationships, to bosses, how we live matters.

It's hard in life not to lose our perspective on things. As humans we seem predisposed to focus on the negative things in life, and on things that end up stealing life from us. This week we examine Paul's encouragement to think about things "above" rather than on earth to see just what that means for us.

The New Testament is full of encouragement for us to die to ourselves, in order to live the life that Jesus calls us to, but what does that really mean? This week we look at what it means, why it's so hard, and why it's the best decision we can make.

Our world is more connected than ever with social media and smartphones in almost every pocket, but we are more lonely than we ever been. This week we look at what biblical community looks like, and the power to change the world it can have.

It's weird to see talk in the Bible about "secret plans" and "mysteries," so this week we look at Paul's words in Colossians to see if we can't unmask just what this mystery is. (Spoiler Alert: It's Jesus!) You can skip ahead to the message here: 30:49.

The saying, that "when God closes a door, he opens a window" is a popular saying, but is it true? This week we wrestle with Paul's talk of sharing in the suffering of Jesus in the book of Colossians, and what it means to suffer well.

For some people, Christianity is nothing but a list of do's and don'ts. Other people think that we should really let people do what ever seems right to them, but which approach is best. This week we look at what Paul has to say about how followers of Jesus should live, and whether or not what we do really matters.

Have you ever thought of poetry as dangerous? As world-changing? This week we look at one of the most dangerous, treasonous, and subversive pieces of poetry in the New Testament: Colossians 1:15-20.
