Pastor Nathan preaches on what to tell the voices in your head. Jesus conquered ALL of it on the cross so: 1 – receive Christ Jesus the Lord, 2 – about in thanksgiving, 3 – don’t get re-captured (by the domain of darkness). Tell the voices in your head that you are a follower of Jesus.

Colossians1:45 – 2:5

March 10, 2024

In this series, Pastor Nathan challenges us to train to mature in Christ and to read the entire book of Colossians each week to gain better understanding. The question he asks this week is: What do you joyfully give your life to? TV? Gamming? Social media? He preaches that as Christians, we are to give our lives to Jesus by doing Jesus’ work through joyful suffering. Jesus does not promise a comfortable life. Jesus: 1 – works through joyful suffering, 2 – gives eternal hope, 3 – gives energy for His work, 4 – is the goal. So what will you give your life to? Listen in this week, as we look at how to joyfully give our lives to Jesus in the sermon series: Mature in Christ.
