A message from the series "A Work in Progress." If we hope to build godly lives, displaying Christlike love to one another must be our primary objective.

A message from the series "A Work in Progress." Being God’s chosen people requires all Christians to build godly lives by living outwardly what God has already accomplished in the Christian’s life inwardly.  Colossians 3:12–13 12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 

A message from the series "A Work in Progress." We must diligently labor to demolish what is left of our sinful lives, and enthusiastically build up godly lives through the power of Christ Colossians 3:5–11 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

A message from the series "Navigating Culture." The only way to navigate culture successfully is to set your focus on the future realities of the Christian life that await those whose life is hidden with Christ.

A message from the series "Navigating Culture." Being vigilant in navigating culture is Crucial if you want to avoid spiritual detours that lead you away from Christ. Colossians 2:20–3:1 20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh. 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
