     | 8,251 views

    Growing in Christ is a matter of life and death, it’s a matter of giving up our old "life" of death and putting on a new life in Christ.

    "A Matter of Life and Death" Col. 3:1-17 Intro. How many men remember what their wardrobe looked like before they got married? How many “favorite” shirts or jeans did you have?

    Live Until You Die, Die Until You Live

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2009

     | 8,411 views

    We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

    I’m pretty sure that we can make a case for living until we die. It would not take a lot of effort to convince one another that we can approach life with gusto, squeezing every ounce of juice out. There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more

    For Remembrance Sunday, commemorating members who have died the previous year. All want significance; some try to be remembered with material things, some with reputation. But the only lasting memory is to be hidden in Christ.

    My father-in-law had an irritating habit of trying to identify and pigeonhole people. If you mentioned to him the name of someone he didn’t know, he would invariably ask, "Who is he?" "Who is he?" The question, "Who is he?", I soon learned, really meant, "Where did he come from, who are his ...read more

    If we have our minds centred in Christ, focussed on the things that please God, then we won't need a rule book. If God's word dwells in us the way our lives are hidden with Christ then we'll do things that please God automatically.

    Paul has just finished telling the Colossians to stay away from those who want to tie them down to human rules and regulations. He says these rules are of no use to you in controlling your human desires. He says “Why would you want to subject yourself to human regulations when Christ has died ...read more

    We can live the new life in Christ by continually working at three changes: in our thinking (our minds), in our doing (our bodies), and in our being (our spirit).

     | 12,148 views

    Out of grace and mercy and great kindness, God gathers our burning, blazing life; he glorifies it for the sake of Jesus Christ; he builds it up new and good in that hidden world where the line of death that separates us from God has been taken away.

    (Read Colossians 3:1-4.) Dear congregation, it is as if our whole life were carried, raised up, and protected in these words. Say what you will against this “Seek the things that are above.” You may suspect that those who are constantly seeking things above may lose contact with the ground under ...read more

    People have an opinion, a point of view. Oftentimes, speaking our point of view changes very little, if anything, except how it makes us feel – "I said my piece!" Point of view is everything however in terms of how we understand life and deal with living
