Hannah Buchanan | Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. This week's message from Colossians reminds us that the gospel is not just a set of beliefs but a way of life that transforms our everyday relationships. After describing how God has rescued us and brought us into a new kingdom through Jesus (Colossians 3:1-17), Paul shows what that reality looks like in the most ordinary and intimate areas of life: marriage, family, and work. While parts of the text may feel uncomfortable, especially around themes of submission and authority, the deeper message reveals a radical redefinition of power. Those with influence are called not to use it for control or self-gain but to lay it down for the good of others, reflecting the self-giving love of Jesus. This teaching plants the seeds for a more just, compassionate, and dignified way of relating to others, offering a vision for the kind of relational healing our world longs for. Practically speaking, following Jesus means allowing His love to reshape how we treat others by choosing humility, kindness, and sacrificial love in the places that matter most.

Weekly sermon from Trinity Church Denver

Who Are You Becoming? (Part 3): The Power of Focus That Transforms Your Life What if the most important question in your life isn't what you're doing… but who you're becoming? In this final episode of his 3-part series on the power of focus, Rob Skinner shares a powerful message from a recent sermon in Boston about how your attention shapes your character—and ultimately your life. Most people focus on external things: Career Money Success Future plans But the Bible calls us to ask a deeper question: Who am I becoming? In 2 Corinthians 3, the Apostle Paul teaches that as we contemplate the Lord, we are transformed into His image. That word "contemplate" means to gaze, reflect, and give sustained attention. In other words: You become what you focus on. The Transformation Process When you fix your attention on Jesus, something powerful happens. His character begins to form in you: • Love • Joy • Peace • Patience • Kindness • Goodness • Faithfulness • Gentleness • Self-control (Galatians 5:22–23) This is the goal of the Christian life—not just to believe in Jesus, but to become like Him. The Michelangelo Illustration Rob shares a powerful illustration from Michelangelo. When asked how he created the statue of David, Michelangelo said: "I simply chipped away everything that was not David." That's exactly what Jesus does in our lives. As we focus on Him, He begins to chip away: • Pride • Fear • Selfishness • Sin Until Christ is formed in us. Christ-Focused Reading Rob shares a practical habit to help you grow: Christ-focused reading Spend time slowly reading and reflecting on passages that reveal the character of God and Jesus, such as: • Exodus 34:6–7 – God's compassion and grace • Romans 5 – God's love demonstrated through Christ • Ephesians 1 – Your identity and blessings in Christ • Philippians 2 – The humility of Jesus • Colossians 1 – The supremacy of Christ • Romans 8 – Life in the Spirit Don't rush. Read slowly. Reflect deeply. Repeat often. Because transformation happens through consistent exposure to truth. Your Life Follows Your Focus We live in a world where everything is competing for your attention. But you have a choice: You choose your focus. And when your focus changes, your life begins to change. So today, ask yourself: Where are my eyes going? Then gently bring them back to Jesus. Support the Podcast If this episode encouraged you:

#churchservice #church #sundaysermon #colossians1 Sunday Sermon | January 25, 2026 | Dr. Chuck HerringCheck out our weekly devotionals related to this weeks' sermon!https://cfbcfamily.org/sermon-devotions/

In this sermon, Peter Lenehan reflects on the overwhelming greatness and supremacy of Jesus Christ, drawing from Job 38 and Colossians 1:15–23. By contrasting the vastness of creation with human smallness, Peter invites listeners to recover a biblical sense of awe before God. He explains that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the supreme ruler over all creation, the one through whom and for whom all things were made, and the one who sustains the universe. At the same time, this infinitely powerful Christ humbly entered creation, suffered on the cross, and reconciled sinners to God through His blood. Peter calls the church to respond not with indifference or entitlement, but with worship, perseverance in faith, and lives centred on Christ's purpose, continuing firmly in the hope of the gospel. 5 Questions to Think About How does God's speech in Job 38 challenge your view of your own importance and control? What does it mean for your daily life that all things were created through Jesus and for Jesus (Colossians 1:16)? In what ways might you have developed a “small view” of Christ, and how can that be reshaped? How does knowing that Jesus holds all things together (Colossians 1:17) affect how you face uncertainty or anxiety? What “spiritual billboards” (people, places, or practices) help you remain established and firm in your faith? 3 Things to Take Away from the Message Jesus is supreme over all creation — He is the creator, sustainer, and rightful ruler of everything (Colossians 1:15–17). The supreme Christ chose humility and the cross — The one who made the universe reconciled sinners to God through His death (Colossians 1:19–22). The right response to Christ is awe-filled worship and perseverance — A true faith continues, remains grounded, and lives for Jesus' purposes (Colossians 1:23).

What does it mean to be a Church of Christ? Beyond a shared history, it means being a community centered on Jesus and following him together as our good shepherd.

Morning Sermon from 4 January

Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, December 28, 2025, John Fixsen preaching.

Ever watch a potter center a lump of clay on the potter's wheel? It's crucial for the clay to be centered or the entire vessel will be lopsided or fall apart. In one of the most beautiful poems written about Jesus, Colossians 1:15-23 has a centering effect on all who read it. We need to be centered again and again so we will treasure Jesus more and more. We're all tempted to try and earn, add to or pursue something beyond him. When we begin to believe he isn't enough, will we allow this breathtaking description of Jesus to re-center us?

Colossians 1v16 - "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him."Jesus is God, from before the beginning of time

Paul calls believers to be clothed with the character of Christ because we are God's chosen and dearly loved people. His love enables us to love even our enemies, letting Christ's peace rule our hearts and His Word shape our lives. Through prayer, preaching, sacraments, and song, we speak and live out God's truth with thankful hearts, allowing gratitude to drive out bitterness. In everything we do, we live in the name of Jesus, so that His love, peace, and Word become the defining marks of our lives.

In this message from our Colossians series, Pastor Aaron teaches what it truly means to live like Jesus. He emphasizes three essential aspects of a Christ-centered life: being devoted to prayer, staying clear on your God-given mission, and exercising wisdom in every action. He encourages believers to live intentionally, making choices that reflect Christ in every area of life. This message challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and pursue a daily, active relationship with Jesus. Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church. We pray this moves you closer to Christ and encourages you. For more life changing resources, visit us at www.weareradiant.com.

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.

Preacher: John Schubert Text: Colossians 3:17, 23

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.
