One of the hallmark attitudes of a focused Christian life is being thankful. The very foundation of our Christian beliefs is the fact that being redeemed from sin and death by the love and sacrifice of Jesus is a gift that is in every case beyond our ability to earn or deserve. We are freely given life in Christ, and therefore we have great motivation to live in a state of gratefulness. That being said, how far should this grateful attitude go? Is it really supposed to encompass each and every experience we have? Does being thankful in everything mean we should never be sad or anxious? There is a profound challenge requiring a necessary spiritual discipline before us if we are attempting to live with gratitude in all circumstances. We base this on 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” This teaching builds on two prior principles— “Rejoice always” and “Pray without ceasing”—to form a triad of Christian conduct that fosters spiritual resilience and peace. To meet this challenge, we must accept that true thankfulness is not a fleeting emotion but is instead a cultivated state of perception. It means viewing life's hardships—grief, loss, uncertainty—through the lens of trust in God's providence. The Apostle Paul models this in 2 Corinthians 12, where he expresses gratitude for unanswered prayers, recognizing that weakness becomes strength when Christ is present. True thankfulness in everything can be described as being: • A spiritual lens that reshapes how we interpret suffering. • A gateway to peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6–7). • An active expression, not just a feeling—meant to be lived and shared. Paul's Epistles demonstrate that thankfulness should be expressed both to God and to others. His joy over the Thessalonians' faith despite their persecution illustrates how mutual encouragement strengthens the body of Christ. There are MANY reasons for us to be thankful daily. Here are just three core reasons daily gratitude is in order: For our calling to follow Jesus (Colossians 2:6–7) For Jesus' sacrifice which is described as an indescribable gift (2 Corinthians 9:15) For God's enduring faithfulness and creative power (Psalm 92) Ultimately, thankfulness is a spiritual discipline that equips Christian believers to endure trials, uplift others, and align with God's will. It's not about denying pain. It's about trusting that even in pain, God is present and purposeful.
In a world full of distractions, Paul reminds us to fix our eyes on the One who created us, sustains us, and reigns supreme. When Jesus is first, everything else falls into place. Pastor Aaron dives into Colossians and reminds us what it means to live a life centered on Christ.Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church.

Pastor Ben continues our Advent series with victory of Jesus.
It's fundamental. It's basic, it's the anchor that will hold your life together. Jesus is Lord. Don't let a church become your Lord. Don't let a man become your Lord. Don't let a pastor or a priest be your Lord. Don't let some denomination. Don't let some other additional book or teachings outside of the Bible.

An Ode to Jesus | Colossians 1:15-20 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: 16 for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also the head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

This week we'll be studying Colossians 4:2-6 under the theme “The Mystery of Jesus.” The concept of God's grace to ALL is truly an upside-down, otherworldly mystery to this fallen world. This week, we'll learn how we should direct our prayers and lifestyle accordingly, for the purpose of evangelism. The Church in Colossae was a product of Paul's 3-year ministry in Ephesus. The Apostle Paul wrote the letter to combat a specific type of heresy—a combination of Eastern and Greek philosophy and Jewish legalism with elements of Gnosticism. The danger was not in denying Christianity altogether but in altering genuine Christianity with mysticism, legalism, Eastern religions, asceticism, and man-made philosophy—making it quite relevant to our contemporary pluralistic culture.

This week we will be studying Colossians 3:1-14 under the theme “The Clothing of Jesus.” A major part of Christianity is a new identity in Christ. When someone becomes a Christian, they don't stop being their gender, race, age, political affiliation, or personality. All of those things are demoted below a more important identification factor – REDEEMED by the blood of Jesus. This child of God, recognizing they've now been redeemed by the love of God, commits themselves to a life of love toward others.

This week we'll be studying Colossians 2:16-23 under the theme “The Freedom of Jesus.” A major component to the Colossian heresy, and much false religion today (including in Christian churches) is the unnecessary burdening of manmade laws. The Apostle Paul refused to allow the Colossians' sincere faith to be squeezed out by the self-righteousness of false teachers who presumed to be close to God.

This week we'll be studying Colossians 2:6-15 under the theme “The Fullness of Jesus.” Here we receive one of Scripture's clearest statements that Jesus is fully God and that his work on earth was to remove our sins by nailing them to his cross. We are working together to remove any deceptive philosophy, human tradition, or spirituality that would deter us from these truths.
