Join us as we continue our series in Colossians, this week looking at the dangers of false spirituality (and how many of us are more susceptible than we'd like to think!). Paul, after encouraging us over and over again to choose Jesus, shows us part of the shadow side of not choosing Jesus. These false versions of spirituality look great... but they're nothing but shadows with no substance. How do we know if we're pursuing these counterfeits, and how can we have hearts than long for (and receive) the real thing? Join us as we study this text (and commission our 4th church!) together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we talk about how Christ secures the church. For those who have put their faith in Christ, they live in the tension of two realities: the already-but-not-yet Kingdom of God. In that tension, it can be tempting to believe that because we still sin and make mistakes, something more is needed beyond Christ’s sacrifice. In this sermon, we’ll discuss what Paul teaches in Colossians 2:6–15 about our complete security in Christ, the fullness of His finished work, and how believers can live with confidence, freedom, and unwavering faith in Him.

Join us as we continue in Colossians, this week focusing on how Christ is most predominantly displayed: through HIs servants. Rather than Jesus just aetherally being known, He has chosen to make Himself known through people. However, the methods that He chooses is something American Christians tend to miss. What can we learn about our suffering, our service, and our building up of Jesus' church? If we get and apply this message of Paul, it might change our entire outlook on life! Join us as we study this together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we continue in our series on Colossians, today looking at one of the denser sections of the entire New Testament, especially with regard to Christology. Who truly is the Person of Christ? And is He as lofty in our minds, or, more importantly for many of us, is He as lofty in our hearts and souls as the Scriptures make Him out to be? If not (which, He isn't!), how do we exalt Him more? Rather than preaching, we're doing some practice of exalting Christ. We encourage you to join along with us. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we jump into the first group of topics Paul hits on in Colossians: the importance of gratitude and prayer. The Colossians had several things going on in their church that Paul could have easily corrected and addressed. Instead, Paul blesses them, encourages them, calls out the good that God is doing in them, and prays for them. All of this gratitude and prayer is centered around Christ. There are ample lessons for us in this model, mainly, are we drawn towards gratitude and prayer, first, before correction and change? What if focusing on Christ fuels gratitude and prayer, and what if this completely changes how we operate in this Christian life? Beginning here usually bring a much more beautiful and joy-filled end. How do we add these elements into our discipleship journey as well, and how do we keep it Christ-centered, as Paul did? Join us as we begin the core of this letter together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us this week as we begin a series walking through the book of Colossians, learning how Christ forms his church and uses his people to build his kingdom Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we celebrate Easter and finish our series on Lament. What does the story of Jesus' resurrection have to do with our current trials and suffering? Everything! If the resurrection is true, it completely changes the way that we suffer today. It completely redefines it. And it will change even more what is true about our suffering in the future. It will not only cease to exist, but every single sorrow will be redeemed. Join us as we celebrate this Good News reality together! Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we conclude the last rhythm in our lament series, "trust." Trust is not passive, but active, as we look back and remember God's faithfulness, and look ahead to see God's promises. It isn't just vague optimism or shallow hope, but a secure anchor to aid us when we're going through seasons of hardship. It is the goal of lament. To get here is hard, but to get here breeds more joy, more love, more life, and so we must learn to be a people who fight for it. Join us as we learn how to do this rhythm of lament together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Lament is a vital practice for those walking through seasons of suffering, and in Psalm 143 we focus on the third rhythm of lament: “Ask.” Asking God in the midst of pain can feel unfamiliar or even difficult, but it is essential for staying connected to Him. In this passage, we learn that our greatest need is not just changed circumstances, but closeness with God. Join us as we discover how to ask honestly, stay faithfully, and experience the grace God gives through this practice. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Lament is an important exercise and practice for those who are wrestling in seasons of suffering. As we continue in our lament series, focusing on the first two rhythms of lament, "Turn" and "Complain," we learn how to do this well. Both of those rhythms can sound slightly strange in an ear untrained how to lament, but both are necessary and vital for receiving the grace that is in lament. Join us as we learn these rhythms and see the benefits of this practice together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
