    How Do I Strengthen My Faith? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 5,314 views

    The church of Colossae was dealing with a new form of teaching similar to the kind of thing we witnessed with Tom Hanks’ movie, The Da Vinci Code some years back. Only this was entertainment, it was heresy. This new brand of teaching sweeping the day denied Jesus really was a human.

    Welcome and thank you for worshipping with us this morning. Keep Colossians 2 open before you, will you? Despite perceptions, people do love change. Many of you have been home with nothing to do for weeks now. If someone had come to you in early January and said, “I’ll give you a three month ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,880 views

    We cannot go far in the Kingdom of God until we get the lust for status under control. This is true in the material realm, as we shall see in a message planned for next week, and it is true in the religious realm as well, as we shall see this week.

    Status or Substance? (Matt. 6:1-15) Note: here is my bulletin insert I wrote up along with the sermon. Sermon follows. Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (notes for Matt. 6:1-15) Since modern Judaism no longer has the Temple (in the Biblical sense) many Rabbis teach that charity, prayer, and fasting ...read more
