This week Pastor Emmanuel unpacks what it truly means to live in the finished work of Christ — Colossians 2:6-7.God doesn't just want you to know about His grace — He wants you to walk in it. Not just knowing you've been healed, forgiven and delivered — but walking in the power of it daily. The key takeaway? Stop living in the past tense and start living in the perfect tense — the reality that what God has completed in Christ, you exist in right now. Rooted. Established. Forever.Visit our website, Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook & TikTok, Subscribe to our Newsletter

As we continue in Colossians 2, Paul warns the church about being taken captive by "philosophy and empty deceit." When we examine out faith, let us ask ourselves, "What is our Authority? What is our Hope? What must we do?" May Christ be our authority and hope, and let us walk in him forever. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally July 26th, 2026. Hank Atchison.

Colossians 3:1-4 New King James Version 3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
In Ephesians 1:3–14, Paul reminds us of all that is already ours when we belong to Christ. We have been chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and sealed by the Holy Spirit—all according to the riches of God's grace and to the praise of His glory. In this episode, we'll consider what it means to be blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ and how remembering these truths can help us when our circumstances are difficult, our plans don't go as we hoped, or we're tempted to focus on what we don't have.

Today, David applies the Apostle Paul's declaration that true wisdom and knowledge are found in the revelation of "the mystery of God, of the Father and of Christ (Colossians 2:3) to a famous sentence sentence in the Declaration of Independence often quoted by Christians. Does that statement contain a clue that the signatories had been taken captive by the vain philosophies of men? Today he sets the stage for the concluding answer he will release tomorrow. Don’t miss either episode.

Christ's lordship extends beyond Sunday mornings to encompass every aspect of our lives. Paul outlines three key areas where Christ must rule: His peace must govern our hearts in relationships and conflicts, His Word must dwell richly in us and shape our daily decisions, and everything we do in word or deed must be done in His name. This comprehensive lordship isn't burdensome legalism but grateful surrender from hearts transformed by grace. When we allow Christ's peace to rule, His Word to saturate our lives, and His authority to guide all our actions, we live as people who truly belong to Him.

Work your connections to grow in Christ.
In Colossians 3:1–4, Paul shows us that the Christian life is lived from our union with the risen, reigning, and returning Christ. Before he tells believers what to put to death, he reminds them who they are in Christ: raised with Him, hidden with Him, and destined to appear with Him in glory.This sermon explores what it means to seek the things above, set our minds where Christ reigns, and stop treating earthly things as ultimate things. Work, family, comfort, control, and approval may all be good gifts, but none of them can bear the weight of our souls. Only Christ can.Because Christ is your life, Christ must govern your life.In this sermon, we consider:What it means to be raised with ChristWhy does Paul call believers to seek and set their minds on things aboveHow our life is hidden with Christ in GodWhy future glory gives strength for present faithfulnessHow Christ frees us from moralism, passivity, and misplaced identityIf you feel worn down by performance, anxious about the future, stuck in sin, discouraged by weakness, or tempted to build your identity on something that cannot last, Colossians 3:1–4 gives deep gospel comfort and a clear call to look again to Christ.
ROOTED: Deepening Our Faith in a Shallow World - Book of Colossians - Rooted in Christ, Colossians 1:15-23
Rev. Tim Udouj
"Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus." — Colossians 3:17Everyone wants strong, healthy relationships. We want marriages that are strong, not strained. Families that are peaceful, not painful. Workplaces that are enjoyable, not miserable.But here's the truth: we can't reflect Christ in our homes and relationships if we aren't first seeking Christ in our homes and relationships.As Psalm 127:1 reminds us, "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."Today's message from Colossians 3:18–4:1 challenges us with a powerful big idea:Don't just receive Christ in your heart — reflect Christ with your life.
Paul warns believers in Colossians 2:18-23 against false spirituality that appears godly but actually robs us of Christ. Three key indicators reveal when religion becomes a substitute for Jesus: false humility that seeks attention through extreme religious practices, false mediators that create unnecessary barriers to God when Christ is the only way, and false experiences that prioritize dramatic spiritual highs over steady faithfulness. The root problem is not holding fast to Christ.
Rev. Jacob Lee
The Christian life is shaped by joyful perseverance and a deep commitment to making Christ known. Pastor Wesley Welch walks through Colossians 1:24–2:5, showing how Paul rejoices in suffering because it serves the growth and maturity of the church. The passage highlights the mystery of the gospel revealed as Christ in us, our true hope of glory. We are reminded that ministry is sustained by God's power and aimed at helping believers stand firm in faith and unity.
The Supremacy of Christ - Colossians 1:14-22 - Josiah Espinoza
Paul's letter to the Colossians confronts a tension we all face: accepting Christ's newness while still reaching back for the old, worn-out ways of living. Like a child who destroys their old jeans and shoes but insists on wearing them anyway, we sometimes cling to what no longer serves us — or worse, what was never meant to save us. "So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God." — Colossians 3:1The tomb is empty. Jesus isn't going back in — and neither should we.This means putting to death the things that belong to our old nature: not just the obvious sins, but the anger, the deceit, the complacency, and the legalism that whispers, "If I just do enough, God will accept me." None of that has the power to save. Only Jesus does.
Your Life Follows Your Focus (Part 2): Fix Your Eyes on Jesus In a world where everyone is competing for your attention, learning to focus may be one of the most important spiritual disciplines a disciple can develop. In this second episode in his Power of Focus series, Rob Skinner shares a powerful message from a recent sermon in Boston about why disciples of Jesus must intentionally direct their attention toward Christ. Philippians 2 calls believers to have the same mindset as Christ Jesus—a mindset marked by humility, sacrifice, and obedience. But the challenge is that the world constantly pulls our focus in other directions. Comparison. Success. Approval. Pleasure. Entertainment. Just like racehorses wear blinders to keep their eyes fixed on the track, disciples must decide where their attention will go. When racehorses look sideways, they slow down and lose the race. In the same way, when believers constantly compare themselves with others or chase distractions, they lose spiritual focus. The solution is simple but powerful: Fix your attention on Jesus. In this episode, Rob shares a practical spiritual habit called Christ-focused reading—spending intentional time in passages of Scripture that reveal the character and identity of Jesus. Passages like: • Philippians 2 – The humility of Christ • Colossians 1 – The supremacy of Christ • The Sermon on the Mount – The teachings of Christ By slowly reflecting on these passages and asking, "What does this reveal about Jesus?" disciples begin to absorb His character and imitate His example. Transformation doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we intentionally direct our attention toward Christ. Because in the end, your life truly follows your focus. Key Scriptures Philippians 2:5–11 "In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus…" Colossians 1:15–17 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation…" Practical Challenge Try this simple practice this week: Spend time reading passages that focus directly on the character of Jesus. Slow down. Reflect on what the passage reveals about Him. Ask yourself: How can I imitate this today? Because discipleship is not about perfection. It's about direction and attention.
