    Walk in Christ: How to Avoid a Christ-less Philosophy of Life

    In this sermon on Colossians 2:6–15, Pastor Luke Herche teaches us how to avoid a Christ-less philosophy of life, exhorting us to walk in Christ with three points: don't get taken in, remember Christ, and build your life upon him. Sunday Morning Worship // June 22, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: How do Paul's command (vv. 6–7), warning (v. 8), and teaching (vv. 9–15) relate to one another? What are the life-philosophies that are “in the air” in our culture? What are some of the dominant ways of life or philosophies of life that we meet in music, media, movies, in our workplaces and neighborhoods, politics and classrooms? What of that is tempting for you? Where might you have blind spots to the philosophy-not-according-to-Christ of this age? Perhaps ask others to delicately help you with this question! What will it look like to allow your life to be shaped by a life-philosophy that is according to Christ? Meaning both: 1.) How will that happen? 2.) What will that look like in your circumstances? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

    Pastor Luke Herche preaches on Colossians 1:24–2:5, showing us that Christ is the heart of the Christian message, Christ is the heart of Christian maturity, Christ is the heart of the Christian manner, so therefore, don't let anyone lead you from Christ.

What are the kinds of things that would distract us from the centrality of Christ, things in and outside the church? What happens when Christ is not central to life?

    Your Christ May Be Too Small

    Many people have a small view of Christ. Some are skeptical of his existence, while others believe he was merely a good person, a religious leader, or a prophet. Even some Christians who believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord, but go no deeper, have a conception of Jesus that is too small. In Colossians 1:15–20 the apostle Paul calls us to meditate on the deep things of God, on the deep structure of reality—to meditate on Christ. In a passage where every phrase is bursting with significance, Pastor Luke Herche summarizes what we see under three declarations about the glory of God: He is the image of God, over all creation. He is the fullness of God, the reconciler of all creation. He is the head of the church, the beginning of the new creation. Sunday Morning Worship // June 1, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What are various views of Jesus...that are too small? What are they missing? What is Jesus in relation to creation, redemption, and the church? Why do you think it is important to have a big understanding of the bigness of Jesus? What happens when we have a small view? How can we remedy that? What do others need to know about the bigness of Jesus, and how can we show them that in the way we live our lives? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

    A Hope That Bears Fruit

    In the spring, it is amazing to see the world teeming with new life. There is something about fruitfulness and beauty and growth that draws out a human heart. Paul has this focus in the book of Colossians. In his introductory verses, Paul overflows with thanksgiving and prayer. We see his joy at the fruit of the gospel evident in the lives of the Colossians—the fruit of faith in Christ Jesus and of love for all the saints. Listen as Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on Colossians 1:1–8, showing us that because of our hope in the truth we can bear the fruit of faith and love. Sunday Morning Worship, May 18, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper?

Take note as you read: How do you see faith, love, and hope appear in the epistle? What would you say is the content of the hope for the Christian? How have you seen the truth of the gospel impact your growth in faith and love for others? What are things that challenge our faith here in Champaign-Urbana, and how does the truth help us to stand firm in the midst of them? How does the truth of the gospel help inform our relationships? Who is one person at church that you can get to know better and care for? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

    What is the relationship between your faith and your imagination? In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:35–58, Pastor Luke Herche encourages us to strengthen our faith by feeding our imagination. Listen as Pastor Luke helps us to consider the future that God has in mind for us--and to see how that helps us to live in the present--via three points: the body will be raised, death will be defeated, and your labor is not in vain. Sunday Morning Worship, May 4, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What are some different ways one might imagine a resurrection body? Which of those ideas are grounded in Scripture and where? What might be the danger of not believing/confessing the resurrection of the body? How might that shape our view of the body and this present life? What does Paul emphasize about the resurrection body? What questions are not answered by what Paul says? Can you think of other places in Scripture that might speak to that? When has your work felt vain, fruitless, meaningless? How does our future resurrection give weight to our present labor? If you believe that, how do you think it would change the way you work? What can you do to get to that point? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.
