  • It's all Greek To Me: Jesus Over Everything - Pastor Christopher Coats

    It's all Greek To Me: Jesus Over Everything - Pastor Christopher Coats
    Oct 5 2025
    Paul’s letter to the Colossians reminds us that Jesus is not just important; He is preeminent. Like the sun at the center of the solar system, Christ holds all things together. Without Him, life flies apart. With Him, everything has order and purpose. Paul writes to counter false teachings in Colossae that emphasized rules, rituals, and spiritual beings while neglecting Christ. He declares instead that Jesus is supreme over creation, the church, the believer’s life, and all things. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, through whom everything was made. He is the head of the church, reconciling us by His blood on the cross. For believers, He is our true north, our life, our center, our peace. And He is Lord over all we do: work, family, service, and worship. The message is clear: Do not add to Jesus or subtract from Him. He is enough. When Christ is at the center, everything else falls into place. We are invited to live daily with Him as Lord, letting His word dwell in us richly, His love bind us together, and His peace rule our hearts. Truly, Jesus is over everything.

  • It's All Greek To Me: Mindset, Joy - Pastor Colby Rohde

    It's All Greek To Me: Mindset, Joy - Pastor Colby Rohde
    Sep 28 2025
    Philippians shows us that Christian joy begins not with our circumstances but with a Christ-shaped mindset. Paul demonstrates that joy flows when we are Jesus-minded, Others-minded, and You-minded. Though life may feel like a prison, God can use every situation for His glory. Our perspective changes everything: we view hardships through the lens of Christ, serve others with humility, and continually reevaluate our priorities in light of Him. Joy grows as we pray, think rightly, and live according to God’s truth. Even in trials, we are not spiritually trapped but deeply rooted in Christ, equipped to experience lasting joy and live faithfully in every area of life.

  • It's All Greek To Me: Alive in Christ - Pastor Christopher Coats

    It's All Greek To Me: Alive in Christ - Pastor Christopher Coats
    Sep 22 2025
    Have you ever reached into a pocket and found a forgotten twenty-dollar bill? For a moment you feel richer, even though it was yours all along. Spiritually, many of us live the same way. We already have incredible riches in Christ, but we forget what’s been given to us. This sermon, in It’s All Greek To Me, we’re opening the book of Ephesians, where Paul reminds us that our position in Christ is a gift, not something we earn. We were chosen before creation, redeemed by Jesus, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and made alive by grace through faith. Because of that new identity, we’re called to live differently: to put off the old life, put on the new, let God’s love reshape every relationship, and stand strong when life’s battles come. If you’ve felt spiritually dry, worn down, or stuck in survival mode, join us and rediscover the riches you already have in Jesus, and learn how to live them out every day.
