A Passion to Live in the Light of Eternity
Colossians 3:1-4 In a quote on the back page, George Ladd writes that the church can no longer live "as though they were mere worldlings." For true followers of Christ, something has drastically changed... we are no longer mere worldlings. While still living on this earth, we belong to a different sphere...a sphere where Christ reigns supreme. As we understand and believe that we belong to a sphere in which Christ reigns, it will change the way we live in the present. Understanding that we are citizens of heaven (Phil. 3:20) will change the way we live as citizens on earth.

Chasing Wind
What is important in life? Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived had a lot to say about this. Even this great man blew it big time and after reflecting on his life in his old age, he tells us that what we need to do is focus on God's mercy and grace and not on the stuff of this life. The fleeting pleasures of this life will rob us of the things that are of the most importance, eternal things.

Essentials Part 1
The gospel and truth is under continual attack by Satan who sends out false teachers, false shepherds, false apostles and false prophets to wage war against the church, God’s people. There is a battle for truth and much is at stake – God’s glory and the eternal destiny for all. Join us as we are encouraged by Jude (vv. 3-25) today to contend earnestly for the faith. We will also speak to the essentials of the church. These are the things that we will have a close hand on as we have an open hand to the culture around us.
