    Christ is the visible image of the invisible God (Growing Deeper with Colossians 1:15-23)

    Mixed-up thinking results in mixed-up living. This was happening to the Colossians. They were doubting Jesus. As a result, their lives were starting to go off the rails. So Paul wrote a corrective letter which was helpful, loving and clear. He explained the supremacy of Jesus in no uncertain terms. This podcast is a Bible study on Colossians 1:15-23.

    Is everything sad going to come untrue? [Sermon]
    Apr 1 2024
    At the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy Frodo asks, "Is everything sad going to come untrue?" Because of the resurrection of Christ, the answer is Yes! This Easter morning sermon (also released as a podcast) looks at John 20:1-18, Jesus as the second Adam, and four incredible things believers can expect to experience in God's new creation. The nails failed, and we are summoned forward toward a new day in the footsteps of the One who is laughing loudly in the face of death.

  • The Perfect Blood of the Lamb [Sermon]

    The Perfect Blood of the Lamb [Sermon]
    Mar 29 2024
    The imagery is kind of harsh. Blood? In fact, some people try to avoid talking about it. But Good Friday is not a time for closing our eyes to the reality of sin, suffering and sacrifice. This podcast is my sermon from Good Friday. It takes us through Exodus 12 and the 10th plague on the Egyptians to help explain Jesus as the lamb of God. If you ever feel uncertain or as if your faith is "small," you're going to want to listen.
