Gospel Life - Colossians 2:6-15

We continue in the Colossians sermon series.  This morning we will look at Colossians 2:6-15 as Paul continues to address the fullness of Christ.  Arguments that dilute Christ are all around us in this world, but they must be confronted with Scripture and the Gospel.  Paul says that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just some you received (past tense) but is at work (present tense) in you as we walk by faith.  Being “In Christ” assures us fullness and life.  It can be found nowhere else.

Mystery Revealed | Colossians 1:24-2:5

Today, we return to the Colossians sermon series that we were in before Holy Week. This morning we dig into Colossians 1:24-2:5 as Paul continues to delve into the value of Christ, the completion that Christ brings, and the fullness that is found in Him.  Colossians 1:27 states on of the anchor verses in the letter, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”  Paul’s ministry was and our mission is radically shaped by the mystery revealed, Christ in us, our hope for glory, our hope for fullness, and completion.

Who is Jesus? Mark 8:27-33

In this message, We welcome Rev. Mike Wenzler the Reformed University Fellowship pastor for the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.  We will be looking at Mark 8:27-33 this morning   The Gospel of Mark was written intentionally and had purpose. Mark deliberately wanted his readers to wrestle with 2 specific questions: Who is Jesus? And what did Jesus come to do? Implicitly, God's people are called to follow Jesus as disciples. But what does that entail?

The Resurrection Life - John 11:1-44

Resurrection Sunday! What a great morning to celebrate that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. We will explore John 11:1-44 where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead and where he claims that he is the resurrection and the life. The resurrection of Jesus shouldn’t give us mere hope for life after death (it does though), but should dramatically change the way we live right now, how we experience our life now, and should anchor our hope now and for the life to come.

The Coming of the King John 12:1-19

Foundations Part 2 Colossians 1:18-23

This morning, we continue our series in Colossians looking at Colossians 1:18-23.  Paul continues to address the heretical teaching that is being taught by the false teachers in Colossae.  Jesus is God, Creator and Sustainer (1:15-17) but sometimes, and maybe often, this world and our lives seem unhinged. Jesus is the Head of the Church and his mission is to reconcile all things, things of creation and most significantly human beings, like Paul, the Colossians, and each of us.  The promise of all things will be made new is great hope for the Christian to cling to in this world.

Foundations Part 1, Colossians 1:15-17

In this message, we continue our series in Colossians looking at Colossians 1:15-17. Paul now begins to address the heretical teaching that is being taught by the false teachers in Colossae. All truths and all false teachings have a starting point. We need to get Jesus right in our theology or all that follows will be off. So Paul returns to foundational teaching that Jesus is God, Jesus is Creator, and Jesus is Sustainer. If we get any one of these 3 wrong the wheels fall off our theology.

In Jesus Name - Colossians 1:9-14

We continue our new series in Colossians looking at Colossians 1:9-14.  Having heard of Pauls love for the Colossians and thanksgiving to God for them, we now see that he is driven to regular prayer for them.  Pauls three-fold prayer highlights areas we can be praying for one another in addition to regular needs.  Paul prays that the Colossians would be filled with understanding so as to walk fully, pleasing by being strengthened to joy.  Always resting in the reality that our identity is that of qualified ones, those fully fit, complete through the work of Christ.

The Gospel: Grace & Peace Colossians 1:1-8

Today in Worship – This morning we start a new series looking at Paul’s letter to the Colossians.  The whole service will be designed in a way to give us an overview of the book.  Paul begins his letter with thankfulness for the church because of their clinging to the Gospel, their hope.  The gospel then is bearing much fruit and increasing among them and the whole world. Paul’s love for this church he never visited, is seen by his desire that they grasp the fullness of the gospel and are not swayed by false teaching.  We are challenged this morning to cling to the gospel as it bears fruit.
