February 25 & 26, 2017 | Redeemed: Who Do You Work For?

Dr. Jeff Holmes

Colossians 3:22 - 4:1

We all are in a state of dependence. No matter where you are in life, you are a servant of someone or something. As young students, we depend on our education to provide for our future. As a business-owner, we depend on our clients to bring in revenue for our business. As employees, we depend on our employer to pay us so that we can put food on the table. We all work for someone or something that provides tools we need to survive. So who do you work for?

February 18 & 19, 2017 | Redeemed: The Gospel & Family

Dr. David Whitaker

Colossians 3:20-21

Next to your relationship with God, it is your relationships with your parents that have had the biggest impact on you. Who your parents are and how they treated you in those early years and how they have continued to treat you influences your life. Some of us had great parents. Some of us had mediocre parents. Some of us had awful parents. And yet, against the backdrop of all of that, Scripture says over and over again that we are to honor our father and mother. How?

February 11 & 12, 2017 | Redeemed: The Gospel & Marriage

Dr. David Whitaker

Colossians 3:18-19

Marriage has fallen into disrepute. Jesus made it clear that marriage is between a man and a woman and it is God's perfect design. Mankind didn't come up with marriage—it's His doing. He created it and it existed from the very beginning. And it's the display of the profound mystery of Christ's love for the church.

February 4 & 5, 2017 | Redeemed: Dwelling In Christ

Dr. David Whitaker

Colossians 3:15-17

Every single one of us has a set of standards by which we evaluate our lives. It's not a religious thing—it's a human thing. These standards determine whether our life matters, whether it counts, whether it has any significance or value. These standards come from all different faucets—it could be our parents, our friends, our society, our location. God's only standard is this: righteousness. But here's the problem: we don't live up to our own standards... so how can we live up to God's?

January 21 & 22, 2017 | Redeemed: My Behavior

Dr. David Whitaker

Colossians 3:1-11

There is real tension in the Christian life where we tend to swing our pendulum one way or another. "I don't have to worry about what I've done because God is a God of grace and He's going to forgive me." "I'm going to keep God's law because He is just." So here's the question: how do we engage in the Christian experience? By grace? Or by law?

January 14 & 15, 2017 | Redeemed: Christ Our Identity

Dr. David Whitaker

Colossians 3:1-4

In all of Paul's letters, he always starts out with theology. And theology gets a bad rap—there's all these rules and ideas and convictions... we don't agree with everything. But the truth is theology is just a way of understanding who God is and how we relate with Him. Paul always follows up with practical steps for how to live out the mercy and grace of God. But in order to do the practical things, we have to have a clear understanding of the theology.
