    Jesus - Creator And Redeemer

    Contributed by Brady Boyd on Aug 16, 2018
     | 3,734 views

    The central figure, the center piece of the entire Bible is Jesus! Paul is evoking the language of Genesis – the story of creation. Jesus was present, then and now!

    Colossians 1 Jesus – Creator and Redeemer August 19, 2018 This letter is full of epic and evocative language and is one of Paul’s shortest. Colossians 1:15-20 NIV He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on ...read more

    Miracle Of The Method Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 17, 2018
     | 4,419 views

    Baby Jesus in the manger looks so small. Yet this same moment is a miracle of salvation where absolute supremacy, authority, power, and the fullness of creation is embodied in this baby. We do not follow a small Jesus.

    Advent Miracles Colossians 1:15-18 The Miracle of the Method The Encyclopaedia of Jewish Medical Ethics tells us that the average weight of a Jewish new-born is 3250 grams … which is 7lb 3oz.

    God, But Man (Strange, But True!)

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Nov 11, 2019
     | 2,135 views

    Simply put, there is only one Jesus, but this Jesus has two natures: He is God and He is man. Paul explains this well as he points to Jesus’ human characteristics, like His death on a cross, while also asserting His divinity, saying that the very fullness of God dwells in Christ.

    The Son was both God and Man to restore His creation 1. Jesus really was a man a. Stepped out of heaven to be like us b. He was born just like us, lived like us, grew up like us c. Lived a humble lifestyle and pinched pennies d. He got tired like us i. Crowds followed him ...read more

    In the midst of politics and impeachment we take comfort in Christ as our King.

    11.20.19 Colossians 1:13-20 13 The Father rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, 16 for in him all things ...read more

    What Does "morality" Even Mean?

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,302 views

    How do we define morality in an increasingly relativistic, materialistic world? When we realize our inherent blind spots, we find that morality must be rooted in something outside of ourselves, and only the example of the incarnate Christ is firm foundation enough for discerning right from wrong.

    A CLASH OF WORLDVIEWS In our passage this morning, Paul is speaking to the faithful in the church at the Greek colony of Colossae, now in modern day Turkey. Many of these believers came from a pagan background. They didn’t grow up with the benefit of stories about God’s providence or saving work ...read more

    Oh, What A Mystery!

    Most Christians do not truly understand the phrase “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” This message will help brings some clarity.

    In Mark 4, Jesus gives the parable of the sower and when the disciples ask him what it means, He says in verse 11, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables.” Why were the disciples the ones who were “given to ...read more

    Is our God made in our own image? If He is, then He's surely not big enough. Colossians 1:13-23 remind us of the true image of God.

     | 6,088 views

    In Colossians 1:15–19, Paul reveals our Lord’s true identity by viewing Him in relation to three things: 1) The Father (Colossians 1:15), 2) The Universe (Colossians 1:16-17), and 3) The Church (Colossians 1:18-19).

    Colossians 1:15–19 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before ...read more

    Church – The Essential Service Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 22, 2018
     | 8,103 views

    Sometimes Christians treat the church as an emergency service … a place to go when you need spiritual help and security, but to be avoided when all is well. But the church is the only institution which can stand against the gates of Hades. Therefore church is an essential service.

    Message Matthew 16:13-20 Church – The Essential Service What do we do when we have an emergency? When there is fire … we call the Fire Brigade When there is a street fight … we call the Police. When there is a car accident and people are injured … we call the Ambulance. That’s who we think of ...read more

    First In Everything! (A Christmas Sermon)

    Contributed by David Mende on Dec 1, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,878 views

    Christ deserves the first place in all things: in our lives, in our families, in our time, in our conversations, in our studies, in our mission and ministry, in our jobs and businesses, in our decisions, and in everything! I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. We live in a pluralistic society and thus presenting the uniqueness of Christ is a great challenge. Some see Jesus as a great teacher. Some see Him as a prophet. Others perceive Him as a great ...read more

    Who's Boss

     | 2,847 views

    Who’s boss? Is Jesus Christ really the Lord of your life? At this very moment, Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life, or He is not. Either you have surrendered your life to Him and He is running the show, or you are still at the help of your life.

    Who’s Boss? Colossians 1:15-18 ; Philippians 2:5-11 1. God said He was Acts 2:36 2. Because of creation Colossians 1:15-18 3. Jesus said He was John 13:13 4. It is His destiny Phil 2:5-11 5.

    The Conquering Christ Series

     | 51,897 views

    I am painfully aware that there are many Christians who believe in Christ, but who are not free. How can we be free? We Christians need to experience the dynamic of the cross. Here we find that Jesus preformed three redemptive acts for us on the Cross

    COLOSSIANS 2: 13-15 THE CONQUERING CHRIST Would you consider yourself a free person? On what basis would you make your evaluation? What would you say makes a free person? These questions force us to define what we mean by freedom. Truly free people have four ingredients of liberty. 1. They ...read more
