The Colossian Christians were being troubled by people who were confusing them and hindering their spiritual progress. Paul spoke forcibly to the issue and in so doing he reminds us that we should be on our guard against those who would be less than helpful to our spiritual lives. 

References: Colossians 2:16-23

Having begun their spiritual journey, the Colossians needed encouragement to continue as they had started because factors entered their lives that would take them off course.

John Bunyan's famous allegory, "Pilgrim's Progress," described the journey of the believer from the "slough of despond" to "the celestial city." In less picturesque terms, Paul did the same for the Colossians. We, too, need to know how to get there from here.

On a mountainside in Galilee, Jesus preached a sermon for the ages. In it He turned every religious principle on its head, carrying His hearers from conduct to character, rules to righteousness, and laws to life. In this message, guest speaker Charles Price gets to the heart of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. As you follow him through Jesus’ message, you too will be carried from the expectation of external action to the blessed grace of internal transformation.

Paul’s objective in writing the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians was not to produce a timeless Christian marriage reading or even a masterpiece of wisdom literature—though both of those things surely happened. His concern was to instruct and develop a loving, gifted church.

In this message, Jill points out the beautiful ways you can understand love as it’s described in Scripture. You’ll learn how to receive love from God and others, and how to express Christ’s love through His Spirit in you.

The love of God is not just a theological truth. And the love of God is infinitely more than a warm, fuzzy feeling. As the Scriptures so wonderfully proclaim, the love of God is an accomplished, demonstrable fact that can be objectively examined, subjectively experienced, and positively enjoyed in all its life-changing glory.

It’s easy for us to question God when He chooses us for a task. We feel unqualified, like God has made a mistake. But God often chooses the unexpected to do His work. David was the definition of unexpected. He was the youngest, the smallest shepherd boy—but he was chosen by God to be king. In this message, Jill shows us that all of us have been anointed and given the ability to receive a calling and equipping from God.
