Colossians 1:15-20 39:20

Imagine walking into a museum and standing before a massive, intricate painting. At first glance, it’s breathtaking—the colors, the composition, the sheer beauty of it all. But as you step closer, you start noticing details that raise questions. Why did the artist use that shade? What does that symbol mean? What’s the bigger story behind this masterpiece? That’s a little like reading Colossians 1:15-20. It’s one of the most awe-inspiring descriptions of Jesus in all of Scripture—His supremacy, His power, His role in creation and redemption. But it also has layers that can leave us wondering, What does this really mean?…

We all love a good rivalry in sports, like Georgia vs. Florida or Ali vs. Frazier or Simone Biles vs. the world. It’s fun to watch top level athletes and teams square off against each other when the stakes are the highest. But, personally experiencing a rivalry in everyday life is not nearly as fun. It can be hard to confidently decide who or what wins in the competition for our attention, our allegiance, and our affection. Work vs. family; God vs. country; right vs. wrong are hard tensions to navigate. This Sunday morning, we are starting a new series, Unrivaled , a study of the book of Colossians. The Colossians were not strangers to rivalry. In fact, when Paul writes this letter to them, they are under some serious pressure to conform to particular social, cultural, and political exceptions. There is the pull to put all of their confidence in the power and promises of the Roman Empire. There is the pull to adopt a variety of mystical, cultural practices if they want to truly know God. While some of the specifics are different, the heart of this issues are similar to what we experience on a daily basis.…

Romans 13:14 45:33

45:33

John Mark Comer identifies a truth that impacts us all, “For those of us who desire to follow Jesus, here is the reality we must turn and face: If we’re not being intentionally formed by Jesus himself, then it’s highly likely we are being unintentionally formed by someone or something else.” We are all being formed or shaped in our lives. We all participate in daily practices that shape us spiritually. Many of us are drifting along with wherever our culture is heading and mindlessly embracing the practices of materialism, hyperindividualism, and distraction. But we can intentionally follow Jesus by embracing spiritual practices that foster hope, love, faith, and contentment.…

Psalm 23:6 40:48

We all deal with doubts, it’s a normal part of our everyday lives. We doubt our choices - was that the right decision? We doubt our future - am I heading the right direction? We also doubt God. Will he really provide for me? Is he really trustworthy? Is he actually with me? Will he keep his promises? In Psalm 23, David says he gets assurance from both looking backward and looking forward. As he looks back at his life he clearly sees God has consistently been good and merciful to him. He looks forward with assurance that the Good Shepherd will lead him all the way home.…

Psalm 23:5 36:36

36:36

We wake up every morning to the pull of performance. “What do I have to do today?” Our phones, our schedules, and our own hearts scream for us to get busy and prove that we deserve what we’re received. Justin Earley says, “Legalism is the belief that the world hangs on what I do and that God and people love me based on how I perform.” However, Psalm 23 gives us a very different picture of God. In verse five, the good shepherd becomes a lavish host, who welcomes his guests to his table and serves them with grace and kindness.…

In Psalm 23, David is not sugarcoating life with cheesy sayings that don’t connect with reality. He is honest that our world can be a harsh place to live. We all have times where we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Where do we turn when we find ourselves face to face with trouble? Is experiencing hardship a sign that the Lord has abandoned us? Did we end up in this valley because we left our shepherd? Psalm 23 points us to the answers to these questions and more.…

Psalm 23:2-3 35:44

In his 2019 book, The Power of Human , Adam Waytz tells a story about an immigrant who moved to the United States and began learning English informally, through conversations. Of course he quickly learned to greet with “How are you?" The received the reply “busy,” so often that at first he believed “busy” meant “good.” The story is more likely made up, but the point is powerful. We are not just a busy people living in a busy culture , but we want others to know that we’re busy, too! David describes his life differently in Psalm 23:2-3. He says the LORD leads him to places of calm, peace, restoration, and rest, not frantic paced busyness. It sounds nice, but is that sort of life possible for us?…

Psalm 23:1 33:13

33:13

Happy New Year! The beginning of a new year symbolizes new possibilities. There isn’t anything magical that happens between December 31st and January 1st, but it is a time when many of us reflect on the previous year and intentionally think about what needs to change in the new year. I think this is a good practice and we would benefit from this type of intentional reflection more often, not less. A new year reminds us that we do have a measure of control over what happens in our lives. We can make better decisions, develop healthier habits, and engage in more productive work. It’s also good to be reminded in a new year that we are not in complete control over our lives. Much of what happens to us and around us is out of our hands. Our lives are a complex web that include the decisions of others, unexpected circumstances, and ever changing relationships. We need more than just our own good choices - we need a good and trustworthy guide to help us navigate the complexity of our life. We need to make good choices and we need wise leadership. In Psalm 23, David acknowledges that life is complex- full of hardship and suffering, as well as goodness and blessing. He, using the metaphor of a shepherd and his sheep, writes a poem that not only captures the heart of the human condition, but also points us to hope. We can have a good shepherd who walks with us and guides us through every season of our lives.…

Advent: Love 31:46

15 weeks ago31:46

31:46

During the Advent season we are often reminded of what happened, of the facts. An angel appeared to Mary. Mary, a virgin, was miraculously pregnant with the promised Messiah. There was no room for them in the inn. Jesus was born in a barn and slept in a manger. Shepherds and wise men showed up. The danger, of course, is that in telling so much of what happened, we forget about why it all happened. What motivated God to send his Son, Jesus, as a baby into our world as a gift to us? John, one of Jesus’s disciples, tells us why. He writes, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son…” Christmas is reminds us that God’s motivation is His love for his world.…

Advent: Hope & The Prophets 42:32

18 weeks ago42:32

42:32

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent is formed from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival.” The season of Advent serves to remind us that God makes good on his promises. The long-expected Savior did come, and since He came once, we can trust that He is coming again. This season celebrates the first advent, or coming, of Jesus, and patiently looks forward to His second. It is a time for celebration and anticipation, remembering and rejoicing, watching and waiting. Over the next four Sundays, we will gather together as a church to observe Advent. We'll do many of the same things we do every Sunday - we'll sing, we'll pray, and we'll hear from God's Word. We'll also do a few different things, like lighting candles and reading traditional Advent Scripture readings.…
