God's Rescue Plan

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 10, 2025

Clear The Way, Part 1 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 4, 2025

John’s introduction of Jesus demonstrates His glory and responsibility of being fully God. So because He is God He cannot be overpowered by our flaws or our own sinful choices. In effect, it means that because of Who He is, even our darkest wickedness cannot outshine the light that Jesus brings!

John, Part 1 Series: Clear the Way, Part 1 John 1:1-5 - This morning, we are going to kick-off our study into the Gospel of John - I never want to assume that we all have the same knowledge … intro: • A young Jewish man; referred to as youngest Apostle (late teens / early 20s) • He was the ...read more

Re-Centralization

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 28, 2025

It is only in Jesus Christ that we are reconciled to God, to each other, to creation, and to truth itself.

Paul wrote this letter to the church at Colossae because they were in danger of being turned into Gnostics. Now, we aren’t in danger of turning into Gnostics, are we? I mean, how many of you woke up this morning and said to yourself, “you know, this Gnosticism stuff - I think I’d really better look ...read more

Christ At The Center

Contributed by Patty Groot on Jul 31, 2025

In a world full of shifting values and unstable truths, we need an anchor. Colossians 1 gives us one: Jesus Christ is not just part of the story; He is the Author of the story. This early confession of faith shows us the truth about Jesus.

Paul doesn’t begin this passage with practical advice or even spiritual encouragement. He starts with awe—with a hymn, a bold declaration of who Jesus is. Before we get to what we should do, Paul reminds us of who Christ is. This passage, Colossians 1:15–20, is considered one of the earliest ...read more

Does God Work In Mysterious Ways?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 25, 2024

One of the first things every Christian needs to learn about God is that He is incomprehensible, which means we are not capable of fully understanding Him.

However, that does not mean He is mysterious because He has revealed Himself quite extensively in the Bible, nature, and especially in Jesus, who shows us a wonderful picture of what the Triune God is like, to the point that we can truly and intimately know Him well. I hear the phrase "God ...read more
