Power to AbideSeptember 14, 2025 • RD McClenagan • John 17This Sunday, RD continued our fall series, More Like Him. From the beginning in Genesis, the Spirit hovered over the void, shaping and filling creation step by step—just as He still works in our lives today to bring light, order, and life. Through Christ, the Spirit convicts us of sin, gives us new hearts, and empowers us to live with purpose as witnesses of Jesus. Though we still battle the desires of the flesh, the Spirit strengthens us to walk in His ways, producing fruit like love, joy, peace, and self-control. Ultimately, the Spirit comforts, helps, and reminds us of Jesus' promises, filling us with peace and hope that God is making all things new.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Mortification & VivificationSeptember 7, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Colossians 3:1–17This Sunday, Devon continued our fall series, More Like Him. Colossians 3 shows that when we confess faith in Christ, we become new creations, reconciled to God, and invited into the lifelong process of sanctification. Though Jesus has accomplished all the saving work, God calls us to actively participate by putting sin to death (mortification) and living into our new life in Christ (vivification). This work goes beyond behavior modification—it addresses the deeper roots of sin in our hearts. God desires to shape us into lives of holiness and righteousness, inviting us to walk with Him, keep in step with the Spirit, and cultivate an interior life that reflects His design.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

August 31, 2025 · Brad Raby · Luke 24: 13-35

Fellowship Church is currently spending two weeks in the psalms of lament. God created lament as a means of expressing and processing our sorrows in his presence. Thus, to lament is Christian. On August 31, we considered the community lament of Psalm 12 which celebrates the enduring word of God in a fallen world characterized by deceit. 

Week 2 of HSM Reads the Bible looks at the God of the Story. We'll see that everything depends on God, so we should submit ourselves to Him, God is bigger than we think He is, so we should worship Him, and God is a person, so we should seek Him. You can access the digital version of the HSM Reads the Bible Reading Plan here. 

Pastor Garry Clark continues his series called, "The Boat I'm In!" In this message we look at how faith can help us move forward from fear & failure, and repentance can help us turn from our guilt and shame. Otherwise we're just: Treading Water!

Adoption & RestorationAugust 24, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Romans 3:24This Sunday, Devon continued our fall series, More Like Him. Looking at Romans 3:24 he looked at how through faith in Jesus, we are made new—regenerated with spiritual life and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The penalty of our sin is removed as God declares us justified, crediting us with the perfect righteousness of Christ. Our position changes as we are adopted into God's family, moving from children of wrath to beloved sons and daughters who can call Him Father. These realities are not temporary but permanent—God's love, presence, and promises can never be revoked. From this secure identity, we begin the lifelong process of spiritual formation, becoming more like Christ not to earn His love, but because we already belong to Him.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Today in Romans 8:4-9, the guys are discussing an explicit contrast that is being drawn between the two main people groups that live in this world. There are those in the flesh and those in the Spirit. Listen in as the guys discuss the contrast and how it may bolster the Christians confidence that they are indeed in Christ and now under no condemnation.

August 3, 2025 · Brad Raby · Acts 12:1-12

Today, George and Jay continue looking at Romans and discuss a text that provides the Christian with tremendous security in Christ. God has done something — in fact, the entire Trinity has done something for the Christian that not only saves a person but gives them the stability to persevere in the Christian Faith. Listen in as we discuss four components of the Gospel that give absolute security. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we lace up in Greenwood, MO for the second annual Run to Bless 5K, an event supporting Fellowship Church and the mission trips they fund. We break down the race experience, the course, and the community spirit that made it a great Saturday morning run. Then, we shift to one of our favorite causes: the upcoming Rexy Run 5K, 8K, & 10K in Lawrence, KS. We sit down with Race Director Kristina to talk about this special 10th anniversary event, benefiting Baby Jay's Legacy of Hope — an organization helping families cover expenses while their children battle cancer. The Back of the Pack Podcast is proud to sponsor a mile of this race and be featured on every runner's giveaway bag. We want to see you out there on August 16th to help make this Rexy Run the biggest year yet!

ThereforeAugust 3, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 3:21-26, Romans 12:1-4Jesus's central message was "repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand," calling us not just to change our behavior, but to be spiritually reborn. Sin is not simply bad behavior but missing the mark of perfectly loving and glorifying God, which no one can achieve apart from Christ. Spiritual disciplines like prayer, worship, and study are not ends in themselves, but tools to abide in God's presence and be transformed by His grace. The Christian journey is not about religious performance, but a deepening life with God through the gospel, revealing both the depth of our need and the vastness of His love.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Pastor Garry Clark continues his series called, "The Boat I'm In!" In this message we will look at A Shipwrecked Life! When your boat sinks, and you end up stranded on what seems like a deserted island, you'll need a rescuer!

Pastor Garry Clark continues his series called, "The Boat I'm In!" In this message he looks at a very familiar boat-related passage, where yet another storm is taking over the Disciples' boat. But, this time, it's where Jesus wants them to be!

July 20, 2025 · Rick Dunn · Colossians 1:15-20

Desire for My True CountryJuly 20, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Colossians 3:1–17This Sunday, RD continues our summer series on Colossians. Colossians 3 reminds us that transformation begins with identity—we have died with Christ, been raised with Him, and now live as new people whose lives are hidden in Him. Because of this reality, Paul calls us to set our minds on things above and actively put to death what is earthly in us—old patterns like sexual sin, anger, and lying—and instead put on compassion, humility, patience, and love. These changes are not about behavior management but about living from the truth of who we are in Christ: chosen, holy, and beloved. There is power and comfort in knowing that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God—reigning, interceding for us, and securing our forgiveness.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Pastor Garry continues his series called, "THE BOAT I'M IN!" In this message he'll be putting us in the boat with Jesus, as the waves and storm threaten it. As we look for dry ground, we may just find out that it was safer on the water! But, all that really matters is believing He is going to help us make it through unexpected situations! Have Faith, because we're going to be "BOAT TRIPPIN' WITH JESUS!"

Brother Terry Clark will be bringing us a unique message on an extremely famous parable in the Bible. But he'll be putting a unique spin on it, looking at it from an angle you've never heard before. The message is about making right decisions and choices.

As we continue the summer sermon series in Proverbs, Frank Yamrick the Resident Church Planter at Fellowship Church teaches about Laziness and how to labor against it. Proverbs 10:26

Mark 4:1-12: This is Pastor Will. I am the new associate pastor at Fellowship Church. I hope you enjoy my first sermon in this role. It is the first of three sermons on the kingdom parables. 

Substance over ShadowsJuly 13, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Colossians 2:16-23This Sunday, RD continues our summer series on Colossians. In Colossians 2, Paul urges believers to grow into spiritual maturity by holding fast to Christ, who is the message and the means of transformation, not adding human traditions or self-made religion to the gospel. He reminds the Colossians that God made them alive in Christ by forgiving all their sins, canceling their debt, and triumphing over spiritual powers at the cross. True growth comes from clinging to Christ, the head of the body, through whom the church is nourished, held together, and grows with God-given strength. In contrast to the slavery of self-righteous effort, the gospel produces love, joy, freedom, and worship as we behold Christ and are made more like Him.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Pastor Garry Clark begins a new Sermon Series as our summer begins heating up! It's called "THE BOAT I'M IN" and he discusses how Jesus will meet us wherever we are, in whatever boat we're in! But, if we're going to follow Him, we need to drop what we're doing, and FOLLOW HIM!!!! You may have hurts, habits, struggles, or even doubts. But, if we decide to follow Jesus, we need to realize that He will never steer us wrong, and He will always lead us Home!

Nailed to the CrossJuly 6, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 2:8–15This Sunday, Greg continues our summer series on Colossians. In Colossians 2, Paul warns the Colossians against false teachings that diminish Christ, distort grace, and pull believers back into legalism and human traditions. These teachings made Christ out to be just another created being, not the sovereign Lord, and suggested that salvation still required human effort. However, Christ is fully God, the head over all rule and authority, and believers are made alive in Him. True transformation comes from a spiritual change of heart, not outward religious performance. It is through Christ's death and resurrection that God has forgiven sin, defeated the powers of darkness, and brought believers into His victory, not as captives, but as beloved family.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Pastor Garry Clark looks at our Nation's Independence and the signers of that Declaration! Who were these men, and what did they believe? Well, history proves what many of us already knew! They were: AMERICA'S CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!

Mature in ChristJune 29, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Colossians 1:24–29, Colossians 2:1–7This Sunday, RD continues our summer series on Colossians. Paul's deep desire is for every believer to grow in maturity, not just in knowledge or activity, but in actual Christlikeness—to be spiritually formed into his image. However, spiritual growth is often slow, confusing, and nonlinear. True transformation comes not from our own effort alone, but from the reality that Christ lives in us, empowering us to grow over time. Although the process can feel like a struggle, we are invited to keep walking with Jesus, trusting that He is shaping us into who we were always meant to be.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

In this very special message Pastor Garry Clark explores this thought. If we are living in the last days, what do we need to be doing or saying in preparation? So, what should be our response to the signs we're seeing in the world today? You don't wanna miss this powerful and uplifting message.

On today's Text-Driven Tuesday, Jay and George are discussing the odd and somewhat difficult story of Noah's drunkenness. Why is this story in the Bible? What does it mean? And how should we live in light of it? Tune in as the guys walk through the text and answer these questions. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen.

Your Years Will Have No EndJune 22, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 1:19–20This Sunday, Greg continues our summer series on Colossians. Colossians 1:19–20, the final section of the Christological hymn, emphasizes that Jesus is not merely a spiritual being but fully God, in whom all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. Paul writes this to confront false teachings in Colossae that diminished Christ's divinity and authority over all creation and spiritual powers. Reconciliation through Christ is entirely God's work—bringing broken humanity and creation back to Himself, not through mutual compromise, but through the blood of the cross. This peace Jesus offers is not the absence of trouble but the restoration of what was lost in the fall, the resolution of the deep dissonance we feel between what is and what ought to be. Jesus stepped into our suffering, endured the wrath we deserved, and now offers us peace, not as a concept, but as a Person who holds us steady beneath all the chaos.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

He has the Whole World in His HandsJune 8, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Colossians 1:15–17This Sunday, RD continues our summer series on Colossians. In Colossians 1:15–17, Paul emphasized Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God—fully divine and fully human, holding all things together. Jesus is not moderately important—He is central to everything, supreme over creation, and the one who restores the broken image of God in us through the gospel. Even in suffering, we can trust Jesus, who also bears wounds, not only reigns but also suffers with and for us.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/
