What's On The Inside?

August 6, 2023 • Ken Mitchell

Passage: Colossians 3:1-11

The great frustration as a Christian isn’t that they know Jesus is in them. The great frustration is once I become a Christian what do I do about the sin thing? If Christ is in me… Why am I still blowing it!? What’s broke? Why do I still go back to the same sins I had before I knew Christ? What’s broken? The apostle Paul in chapter 3 gives us a great truth we often forget to help us encounter that "sin thing!"

Walk Like Christ

Passage: 3:18-4:1 The greatest "cuss word" in our culture is the S word... as in SUBMIT! Nobody wants to follow anybody else. We are all "jockeying for positions of leadership and authority." But what happens when we get there? The key to leadership is not the power but in the ability to serve. Listen and learn how to be in authority like Jesus our Master, and under authority like Jesus our Servant.

What's On The Outside?

Passage: Colossians 3:12-17 Being like Christ has this great (and true) assumption that it begins with our heart and our relationship with Jesus. Last week we learned that the "BEING" begins on the inside! But it doesn't stop there... If I’m going to Be Like Christ then I have to Love like Christ. The good news is that the apostle Paul doesn't leave us with just an idea... he gives us 5 practical steps to getting there! Listen and learn about the "Doing behind the Being!"

Counterfeit Christian

July 30, 2023 • Ethan Mitchell

Passage: Colossians 2:16-23 There are 3 counterfeits to Christianity that Paul not so tenderly blows up: lawmaking legalism, hippie mysticism, and minimalist asceticism. Too often, religious error takes itself too seriously, and God not seriously enough. Listen and learn why Jesus Christ as better than our silly pursuits at filling the gap between us and God with morality, spirituality, or suffering.
