Our series in Colossians, "In All Things... Christ's Preeminence", continues with Colossians 1:19-2:10. Pastor Ken will share how the Person and Work (the cross) of Christ confirm that He is God. Many try to attack the deity of Christ, but the Bible reveals the truth of who He is and what He did for us through His death, burial, and resurrection. Colosse struggled with these attacks & false teachings, so Paul wrote this letter to encourage them to trust Jesus! We also can stand firm in the truth of God's Word and know that we have been reconciled to God through Christ's blood.

Pastor Matthew continues our Colossians series, "In All Things... Christ's Preeminence", with verses 9-18 of chapter 1. Paul encourages the Colossians to abandon their twisted view of Scripture simply by elevating Jesus to them! We don't need a marketing strategy to share Jesus - all we have to do is confess who He is and His power over the earth. Paul is just "bragging on Jesus" with praise of His glory.

preeminent (adj): having paramount rank, dignity, or importance; outstanding, supreme

This week, Pastor Ken starts our new series, "In All Things... Christ's Preeminence". He gives the background of the author (Paul), who it was written to (Saints of Colosse), and who helped craft and deliver the letter (Timothy/Epaphras). Jesus Christ is at the center of this book - He's mentioned 6 times in the first 8 verses!

Pastor Matthew is closing out our "Serve the Lord with Gladness" with the last verse of Psalm 100 - "For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations." It's all about the goodness of God's mercy and faithfulness. He hears your cry and is faithful to meet you where you are, beloved.

This week, we continue our "Serve the Lord with Gladness" series with Psalm 100:4. Pastor Ken shares with us how the Lord has invited us to enter His gates with thanksgiving and by blessing His name!

Pastor Matthew is continuing our "Serve the Lord with Gladness" series with Psalm 100:3. "Know that the LORD, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture." We can trust Him and follow Him because He loves us. He is unequaled in His power and position and is worthy to be praised!

This week, we continue our sermon series "Serve the Lord with Gladness", which is also our 2023 theme as a church! Pastor Ken is looking at Psalm 100:2 and how our service to the Lord should be with gladness, gratefulness, giving, and singing. 

"Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all ye lands!" Join us this week as Pastor Matthew kicks off our "Serve the Lord with Gladness" series with Psalm 100:1. What a great way to start 2023 - praising God together!

Join us on this beautiful Christmas morning as Pastor Ken journeys through the ENTIRE Bible to point out how every book proclaims the salvation of Christ. It is quick, but powerful look at the entire picture of God's goodness to His children. Merry Christmas, everyone!
