Who Am I?
Colossians 1 gives us the framework for understanding the fullness of who Christ is, what he has accomplished, and why he came into this world. We are who Jesus says we are, and until we understand who Jesus is, we’ll never understand who we are and what we were created to be.

God is For Us
God has given us Christ, the greatest gift, so of course He'll give us everything else that is needed to be conformed into the image of Christ. While He works that plan, we live lives free of opposition, accusation, condemnation, or separation.

Suffering and Sovereignty
Romans 8:28 is one of the greatest promises in the Bible. It's based on fact, not feeling. It's God's project, not ours. It's a total plan, not partial. It's purpose is good, not evil. It's for Christians, not Non-Christians.

Suffering and Glory
Suffering is a part of God's curriculum. It has a point and an end that far surpasses the pain. God calls us to groan to Him, hope in Him, and pray with Him while we wait.

I Ain't Gonna Work on Sin's Farm No More
Many believers through ignorance or misunderstanding do not walk in the freedom that is theirs in Christ. They trust Christ, by grace, but try to live like Christ through their own effort. We are free to enjoy the benefits of God's grace, which we see in this passage are: God is our leader, God is our Father, Assurance of God's favor, and we inherit the world.

The Flesh vs. The Spirit
God the Father, has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to secure our salvation, free us internally, and gain us righteous standing before God. We have been indwelt by the Holy Spirit. However, we still have a sin nature residing within us. Christians make regular personal decisions about whether we will yield to the person of the Spirit or our sinful nature.

The Greatest Letter Ever Written
The first half of Paul’s letter to the Romans is the clearest, most accurate, and most compelling presentation of the gospel in the whole Bible. It shows our need as sinners, God’s grace to meet our need in Jesus, the peace we have with God by his grace alone, and the power we have in the fight against sin. But every single bit of good we have is owed to the gospel alone. We never leave it, never move on from it, and never grow out of our need for it.

Job's God is our God...Is He Your God?
God has been doing a work in us and through us as we've studied the book of Job. It only seems fitting that we'd wrap the series by looking at what Job has taught us about God. We'll look at seven truths about God that were true for Job and are true today.

A Life Full of Days
Our hope isn't in living happily ever after, but in the truth that God is refining in us gold like qualities. These qualities can be enjoyed in some degree in this life and in full in eternity. This is a truth that can only be realized through faith in Jesus Christ our God and Savior.

How God Does Justice
We all long for justice and we all long for grace. God is the source of both. This passage points us to the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for sinners. In Christ, forgiveness is worth asking for and justice is worth waiting for.

All to Thee My Blessed Savior
God's rebukes are reliable and effectual. We dare not ignore it or resist it. A response of full authentic surrender pleases God, yields rest for our souls, and is effective for God's mission.

An Unsettling Response from God
God's way of revealing Himself to us can be unsettling. But since His ways are perfect, I submit. Since He's in full control, I follow. Since He has all the answers, I listen.

Jesus Power Keeps on Comin'

What Is The Cross All About?
Good Friday is good news because it brings good things by the death of our good Savior. It preaches us the message that we’re reconciled to God—once we were his enemies under his wrath; now we are his friends under his grace. It brings the reality of substitution—his death for our life, his righteousness for our sin, his blood for our redemption.

Who is My Neighbor?
Who we are in Christ determines how we see others. How we see others determines what we relate to others. We are to love our neighbors. Before we ever do that we must see them the way Jesus does. Before we do that we must be people of compassion. Before we become that we must first receive Jesus' love and compassion.

Evangelism - Moving from Hangouts, to Houses, to Hearts.
The world has always been a hostile place for evangelism. In 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul gave thanks for the reception and operation of the gospel message. We’ll discover 3 essentials for evangelism that generates gratitude.

Making Christ Known in the an Impossible World
We can’t save anyone. It’s impossible. So we don’t need evangelism tools or a script or a program or a pep talk. We need God to do the impossible. To raise dead hearts to faith. Let’s ask him to do that and keep on asking him to do that. Think right now of a couple 3 people who you think, "no way they’re trusting Christ or coming to an Easter gathering." Pray for them by name and invite them to our Easter gathering.

The Unfathomability of God
While God tells us we can know Him truly and rightly. We cannot fully explain or interpret and define all of His ways. God is doing something that is much bigger and higher than what we can speak on or understand. In the words of A.W. Tozer, "The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate its concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him—and of it."

Since God Knows, We Trust

The True Vine
Everybody in this world is going to connect themselves to something or someone. The question is who? Or what? Most often, we abide in the thing or person that we think promises the most happiness. Jesus promises us that he alone can offer that true, complete joy and happiness in himself. And the way we receive it is by abiding in him and his love.
