About the Series
January-March 2024
The letter Paul wrote to the church in the city of Colossae emphasized the nature, preeminence, and sufficiency of Christ. At the time, the church was struggling with confusing voices that were adding to that message by creating additional rules to follow or diluting the message by creating other pathways to God.
Paul spoke into the confusion by proclaiming that Jesus is above all, the pathway to God is Jesus alone, and Jesus is in all, affecting every part of our lives.
For the person searching or seeking to understand who Jesus is, Colossians is a beautiful introduction to Him and the message of hope that He brings. For the person who knows Christ and is seeking to follow him, Colossians is a beautiful reminder of the work that Jesus has done for us and how the gospel shapes our everyday lives. In this series, we journey through Paul’s letter to the church in Colossae and find out how His words apply to us today.

From Creation to Brokenness
From Series: "The Beautiful Gospel"
The story of humankind is woven together by God who created everything. Out of His goodness, God created the universe and all that is within it—including humanity, intended to enjoy it. God created mankind with the ability to think, reason, experience emotion, and make decisions. Yet, they chose to rebel against their Creator, desiring His role. Consequently, sin entered the world, breaking everything, including the relationship between mankind and the Creator. But God—in His goodness, love, and mercy—provided redemption. He sent His Son, Jesus, to bear humanity’s sins and triumph over death, so that all might have the opportunity to know God. Jesus not only saves but transforms lives, offering the assurance of restoration of all that has been broken. This beautiful gospel—the good news for all—is the essence of Easter, a celebration of hope for all of creation.
