If we are all honest with ourselves, we often hold others to standards that we ourselves don’t even meet. We aren’t as far along in our growth as we often think we are, and this in turn affects how we view and treat others. Colossians reminds us that our posture must be marked by patience. We need to thank God as others progress, ask God that others would exceed expectations and limitations, and trust God with their process. In order to see ourselves and others rightly, without unhealthy comparison, we need to first see Jesus rightly, and then our posture towards others will be properly founded.

King Over Our Endings
September 13, 2020 • Pastor Allen Coleman
It is fitting that the conclusion to Colossians emphasizes the need to end well. The Apostle Paul was a fitting model for us all and yet, even he, reminds us we can't do it alone. In the finale to this 12-week series, Pastor Allen introduces us to the Disciple's Dozen: 12 personalities every church member needs to finish well.
King Over Our Jobs
September 6, 2020 • Pastor Allen Coleman
Is Jesus king over every sphere of your life? The workplace is one of the areas where we really find out how compartmentalized or comprehensive our faith is. This week, Pastor Allen invites us to fully examine our orientation to those we work for and places we work at.
King Over Our Children
August 30, 2020 • Pastor Allen Coleman
Children are a blessing from the Lord, but how do we steward this blessing? How do we love them well and prepare them to be men and women who understand and live out the gospel? Scripture guides us in the ways of love, discipline, and the bringing up our children in the way they should go, as families and as a church.
