Who We Are - Identity in Christ

Colossians 1:1-8

We are to find our identity, not in the things of this world, but in Christ.

Christ Over All

The Book of Colossians

We live in a fast-paced, complex world filled with exciting new ideas and possibilities. Yet this is also in a time of turmoil and change that can make us feel uneasy. In the midst of these things, our world is constantly pushing human ideas and philosophies about who we are, what this life is about, and how we should live. With the book of Colossians, the Apostle Paul declares that Jesus is supreme over all things, and that in Him we have everything we need. So, whatever our challenges and concerns may be, if we keep our focus on the one who is “over all,” everything else will take care of itself.

So... What Do We Do Now?

Guest Preacher - Josh Matthews

Luke 24:13-35

Even when hope feels lost, and Jesus seems distant, He is already walking with us; inviting us to see our faith and our very lives in a whole new way.

One Last Word: He is Risen!

Matthew 28:1-10

During the Season of Lent, we focused on the seven last words of Christ. Today we’ll look at the story of the first Easter and remember another important word of Jesus, that He would rise again!

The Seven Last Words of Jesus

If you had been a part of the crowd on the day Jesus died, you would have heard him make seven astounding statements. They are remarkable words, not only due to His distress, but because of the deep meaning they convey. For over a thousand years, Christians have turned to the seven last “words” or sayings of Jesus on the cross to guide them during the season of Lent. This year, we will join in that tradition and focus on the things Jesus uttered with his dying breath. We do so, hoping not only that we might find guidance for living as Jesus did, but also so that we might know Jesus more and understand the meaning of His death more in preparation for the celebration of His resurrection on Easter.
