Passage:
Mark 1:17-31
&
Mark 9:2-13
Series:
Friending
Duration:
44 mins 3 secs
Friendships are good. Some friendships are better than others. And, of course, there are best friends. Not everyone has one. Not everyone can be one. But we can all work toward better friendships. This sermon will look at Jesus's relationship with his disciples and principles of friendship he demonstrated with his inner circle of three (Peter, James, and John). Moreover, it will warn against threats to friendship. In the end, the message will push you toward better friendships.

Romans 5:9-11

John 15:13-16
Series:
Friending
Duration:
38 mins 33 secs
The world is full of unlikely friendships. Cats and dogs get along. Buckeye fans marry Michigan fans. Rivaling siblings make peace over their shared animosity toward a step-parent. These unlikely friendships can turn enemies into allies. God did the same thing. He looked past our rebel hearts and reconciled us to himself through his Son Jesus. Jesus calls his followers his friends. This friendship is worth knowing and growing in.

Passage:
Matthew 20:29-21:11
&
Zechariah 9:9-10
Duration:
43 mins 49 secs
Jesus led with compassion and humility. He led with fidelity to God and in the face of opposition. His leadership excited crowds, drew disciples, and enraged religious leaders. As he approached Jerusalem, Jesus led a little parade into the big city for Passover. He rode on a horse, His actions caught people's notice and eventually cost him his life. This is Jesus: merciful Son of David, Humble King of the Jews, Crucified Savior, and Risen Lord. His life and leadership compels us to follow him.

Passage:
Colossians 4:2-6
&
1 Peter 3:15-16
Series:
All Together
Duration:
42 mins 9 secs
We live in a contentious space. Certain topics can cause relational breakdown and emotional eruptions. Too many of us are swimming in "argument scripts." We may even add to the noise. This goes against our calling to live as gracious people. Followers of Christ should build up and point others to Jesus with their words. They should do it with their lives. Paul asks the church in Colossae to live this way: winsomely.

Passage:
Colossians 3:18-4:1
&
Ephesians 5:22-6:8
Series:
All Together
Duration:
50 mins 19 secs
Do everything for Christ includes family life. This is Paul's next topic in Colossians. He makes use of a household code, but turns it on its head by addressing society's "lower" members first: wives, children, and slaves. He calls them to obedience, as well as husbands, fathers, and masters. Household codes require cultural translation. Ultimately, they are less rigid rules for family power dynamics than case studies in how close relationships work. The general rule is that we should elevate those around us.

Passage:
Colossians 3:5-17
&
Galatians 5:16-25
Series:
All Together
Duration:
45 mins 11 secs
After encouraging a glorious mindset, Paul commends his readers to live gloriously. This requires getting rid of selfish ways of relating to others. Using the metaphor of attire, Paul states that virtue always remains in vogue. And nothing is more attractive than a loving, supportive, uplifting community. To emulate Jesus in the world, our attitude and interactions should look like his.

Passage:
Colossians 3:1-4
&
Philippians 3:10-21
Series:
All Together
Duration:
43 mins 1 sec
Paul takes a positive turn. After warning his readers to refuse religion, he focuses them again on Jesus. Using two similar commands -- set your mind on/think -- he encourages a glorious mindset. Jesus should be the center of our thoughts. Setting our mind on his death, resurrection, rule, and return will keep our minds from self-centered and self-destructed thoughts. Mindset matters.

Refusing Religion

Passage:
Colossians 2:16-23
&
Romans 14
Series:
All Together
Duration:
41 mins 23 secs
Have you ever run into really religious people who come across as superior? Have you ever been that religious person? What is it about the word religion that makes us cringe? How do you respond when people call Christianity a religion? Well, if you read Colossians, you realize the apostle Paul was not a fan of religion. He undercuts the religious impulses infecting the Colossians. He wants a relationship with Jesus Christ as the focal point of the church, not a bunch of rules.

Passage:
Colossians 2:6-15
Series:
All Together
Duration:
48 mins 44 secs
The Olympics. The Super Bowl. What a great season for competition. They say there can only be one champion. Well, here's some good news: If you walk with Jesus, his victory is yours. The apostle Paul talks about this truth in Colossians 2:6-15 as he transitions to the next part of his letter, the exhortation section. We encounter his first commands: Keep Walking! Stay Alert! We do this by walking in Jesus's victory over sin, death, and Satan. You CAN do it, too!
