Christ-centered Community

November 11, 2018

Colossians 3:15-17 sets forth how we can live Christ-centered, Christ-exalting lives in Christian community. We should live in peace with one another because we have been reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. God's Word is to dwell in our hearts, and we should teach, encourage and exhort one another.

Christlike Virtues

November 04, 2018

Spiritual clothing matters - we are to clothe ourselves with the virtues listed in Colossians 3:12-14 imitating the character of Jesus Christ before a watching world. We do this because of who we are in Christ: "God's chosen ones, holy and dearly loved," enabled by the Holy Spirit. Our position in Christ serves both as a motivation to display these virtues and also as a source of hopefulness that we will be able to follow Jesus in this way.

Our Faithful God

September 16, 2018

Pastor Gregory steps away from the series on Colossians to remind us of the faithfulness of God during Hurricane Florence. No one ever trusted God in vain. God is faithful, perfectly trustworthy to all generations. In the passage above, God renews His promise to Abram at a time when Abram's faith is wavering. Let us lean on God, remembering that He will fulfill His promises in His own timing.
