Love is like a coin. It has two sides to it. One side is expressed with kind words, tender mercy, and affection. The other side of love is expressed with warnings, rebukes, and correction. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is to tell others what they don’t want to hear. Parents who love their…
This past Sunday was Missions Sunday! We heard from Nate & Trudy Bertram, NewLife missionaries who serve in McDowell County, WV. We also got the chance to hear from the mission team that recently returned from Kosova.
In 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul writes that those who have been reconciled to God have received the ministry of reconciliation. Nowhere in Scripture is this more clearly seen than in Paul’s letter to Philemon. Check out this week’s message as we conclude our study of Philemon and learn to be agents of reconciliation.
We all know that the Gospel has the power to reconcile us to God, but did you know it also has the power to reconcile us to one another? The latter may seem more unlikely than the former but it is true! Check out this week’s message as we look at the shortest letter written by Paul in…
We have come to the end of our study in the book of Colossians and the apostle Paul concludes his letter by addressing two critical things in the life of a believer: his prayer life and his witness. Check out this week’s message as we unpack Paul’s final exhortations and his parting words to the…

The “something more” that these false teachers promised was a mixture of Christianity and a bunch of -isms! (i.e. Gnosticism; paganism; mysticism; asceticism; Judaism and legalism.) The Apostle Paul wrote the Church in Colossae to refute this false…
In the letter to the Colossians, we learn that every believer is complete in Christ, but that doesn’t mean that we can sit back and coast through the Christian life. Receiving Christ is just the beginning. We need to be rooted, built up, and established in the faith so that we are not held captive by…
