Paul warned the Colossians not to let anyone capture them with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that comes from human thinking rather than from Christ. These seem like simple instructions, but we are inundated with content at warp speed from countless sources. How can we know what is true teaching and what is false? In this podcast, Wendy shares three “Be’s” that can help us determine the right path.

Paul opens this letter to the Colossians by acknowledging what he sees God doing in their lives. He was a great source of encouragement to them, and us as well! Encouragement can bring light to the darkness, strength when you’re weak, and hope that overcomes despair. As we begin this study, Melanie reminds us to be intentional about encouraging one another.

People are drawn to the Lord when they see a healthy, vital church serving with joy and passion for the things of God. This paints an attractive picture to the watching world, and if we want this beautiful circle of life to continue, we need to share the gospel with others. Yet we all have excuses. In this podcast, Shelley uses the acronym, GO FISH to challenge some of the reasons why we don’t evangelize.

In this podcast, Christi discusses the mystery and miraculous power of the Word of God. How is it that some read God’s inspired word and experience His power and life within, yet others read and experience absolutely nothing? As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 2:14, the Bible is a locked book to a locked heart. Yet it can penetrate even the hardest heart and bring the most avowed atheist to belief! For the Christian, reading and studying the Bible is not just important—it is vital! A soul cannot prosper without it.

We launch our fall season with a series on Spiritual Disciplines. For some, this may be the first time you discover that these practices are what you’ve been looking for in order to pursue God and grow in your relationship with Him.  

In the next few weeks as we look deeply at these disciplines of grace, Cathe offers practical wisdom for getting started. Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Be willing to change your routine where needed. Start where you are and trust the Holy Spirit to mature you spiritually as you cooperate with Him. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it!

In this final episode, Wendy shares some practical steps for living out our faith using the acrostic OTHERS.

In this episode, Sue discusses the freedom we have because of Christ. But with this beautiful freedom, the apostle Paul reminds us not to use it to satisfy our sinful nature. To our last breath, we will battle a sin nature that wants what it wants—but we don’t fight alone.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him” (Philippians 2:13). By walking in the Spirit, we are free to love and obey Christ and serve one another in love.
