This Reformation Sunday, we are pausing our study of Luke to ask whether the Reformation is over. Sadly, the answer is “no.” The core issues that divided Protestants and Catholics 500 years ago remain. Today, through Exodus 32, we’re called to press on to know the true God through his Word, and not settle for a sincere idea of him that may not be him at all. Audio | Notes | Exodus 32:1-24

Today, we continue in our series Colossians: Made Alive in Christ. This ancient letter is about the supremacy of Christ in making the spiritually dead come alive through faith in Him and how, as a consequence, he transforms our lives. Paul shares his prayer that the saints might be filled with the knowledge of God in order that they – and by extension, that we – would walk worthy of the Lord, by His power. Audio | Notes | Colossians 1:9-14

Paul shrewdly sets the stage by opening with reassuring gratitude—showing us that we, too, should give thanks to God for the true gospel that’s bearing fruit among us.

The Bible’s normal setting for a Christian’s growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church.
