Chris Wall • Colossians 1:3-14   Worshiping God becomes much more profound when we know the magnitude of who Jesus is as the Author, Creator, and Sustainer of the universe; He is the glue holding our us together. Have you ever had a moment in life where you realized the universe was much larger you could have ever imagined? The passage of this sermon does that very same thing. It focuses on the reality that our worship of God is inspired by what we know of God.

Pastor Chris Wall • Colossians 1:18-23 Last year, we took fourteen weeks taking a long doctrinal look at the church. One of the biggest lessons we learned was that the mission and message given to the church is the only hope for humanity. Not only is the church commissioned to spread the gospel, but the church is commissioned to equip the body to serve the Lord. In this passage, we get a glimpse of what an effective church looks like...

Chris Wall • Colossians 1:24-29 We live in a world that does not understand the value of suffering. Irealize that in the midst of suffering, it is often hard to recognize value, but Paul often reminded us of the value by rejoicing in difficult times. Paul’s enemies likely made a big deal of the fact that this great leader was writing from a prison cell. But Paul turned this weapon around and used it to help the church recognize the power of God in the midst of his suffering...

Pastor Chris Wall • Colossians 2:1-10 Paul was a good shepherd of God’s people. Every shepherd will be required to fight off some wolves that come in for an attack. Over the next three weeks we must take some time and fight off some wolves attacking our flock. In the Christian life, we never stand still. We are either moving forward in spiritual growth or slipping backwards into spiritual apathy...

Chris Wall • Colossians 2:11-17 The church at Colossae was dealing with false teaching coming from multiple fronts. There was the challenge of oriental mysticism, astrology, philosophy, and in this passage, it confronts the Jewish legalism. These Jewish Gnostics were pushing the church to submit to the Old Testament laws and customs. The message of the gospel brought about a rapid shift in traditions. You think we have traditions, imagine traditions that could be traced back to Moses...

Chad Balthrop • Colossians 2:18-23 We live in a generation "that can't even." We're told to "live our truth." Whatever choice you make, your next judgmental critic is only one click away. With relentless individualism, we let no one tell us how to live. Yet so many people feel empty. Lost. Alone. All too often, the desire to "let no one" influence our thinking becomes a trigger that gives everyone a piece of who we are. These voices become obstacles that limit our faith...
