Paul has called believers to a high calling throughout the letter, and now, he wants to give them several principles to help them live devoted lives for Jesus. So, what does devotion to Jesus look like? Join us as we look at three ways to be devoted to Christ from Col. 4:2-6.

Jesus is Lord over every area of our lives, and His authority should shape how we live in our marriages, families, and workplaces. Join us as we explore what it means to honor Christ in these crucial areas of life.

The words of the Gospel have the ability to change your life and also your Eternity.

Those who are in Christ are called to live in light of their new identity. We do this by putting off the old self and putting on the new life we have in Christ. Join us as we see what it looks like to live out our new identity in Colossians 3:5-17.

If we are in Christ, then it should change everything about how we view our lives and live them. Join us as we learn how remembering who we are in Christ shapes how we live for Christ.

Christianity isn't about rituals, religious experiences, or regulations; rather, it's about Christ. Join us as we look at a needed passage regarding the true meaning of Christianity.

If we want to live a life in Christ, it can only be done through intentionally walking with him. Paul explains what that looks like and the pitfalls of straying from the message of Jesus.

How are we called to respond to the supremacy of Christ? What role does every believer have in Christ's mission? In Colossians 1:24-2:5, Paul shows us the privilege, purpose, playbook, and pursuit of a life fully devoted to Christ.

The call of the Bible is for Christ to be first overall in our hearts and lives. But why? Why must he be first? Because Jesus is preeminent over creation, the church, and salvation. Join us as we look at the preeminence of Christ above all!

God has a purpose for our lives, and He has not left us without direction for how we should live. So, how can we know his will? Why should we desire to live in God's will?  In Col. 1:9-14, Paul answers these questions and helps us see how we can know and live in God's will.

The gospel isn't merely a message to believe; it is a message that changes us. As we walk through Colossians 1:3-8, we'll see how the gospel produces faith, love, and hope in the lives of those who receive it.

God has created us for a purpose and knowing that purpose changes the way we live. In this message, we look at God's mission for His church and what it means for each of us to live faithfully as part of it.

What is your greatest need? While we often focus on our physical, financial, or emotional struggles, Psalm 85 reminds us that our deepest need is God's forgiveness and spiritual renewal. Dr. Jamie Dew points us to the God who alone can forgive our sins, revive our souls, give lasting peace, and faithfully provide everything we truly need.

Our lives are full of choices, and the choices we make will shape our lives. So, how can we make choices wisely? The world says to trust in yourself and do what feels right, but God's word says something different. Join us as we look at Proverbs 3 and learn how we are called to live.

God's word tells us that everyone will either ruin, waste, or steward their lives. The only way to keep from the former two is to seek God's wisdom and live by it. Join us as we look at the value of God's wisdom and how we can receive it.
