Christmas Eve 2025 Service

Week 1: Following Jesus Practicing the Way is a Christian spiritual formation movement, popularized by John Mark Comer, focused on becoming an apprentice to Jesus by learning "the way" of life He modeled, emphasizing spiritual disciplines (like Sabbath, solitude, prayer, generosity) within community to transform daily habits into Christ-like living, all detailed in a free course, book, and resources. It's about deep transformation, moving beyond mere belief to actively living out Jesus' teachings through practices that foster intimacy with God and becoming like Him in a busy world.

The Book of Colossians - Christ in your Home and World, November 23, 2025 Week 4: Christ in your Home and World, Colossians 3:18- 4:18 While imprisoned in Rome awaiting trial before Caesar, Paul wrote to the believers in Colossae, a group he had never met but who respected his authority. His coworker Epaphras, a native of Colossae, had brought the gospel there and to nearby Laodicea and Hierapolis after working with Paul in Ephesus. When Epaphras was later imprisoned in Rome, he told Paul about the situation in those cities. The mostly Gentile Colossians were being pressured to follow Jewish laws and drawn into false teachings that emphasized visions and secret knowledge. In response, Paul reminded them that Jesus is all they need: all creation was made through Him, and through His death all things are reconciled to God. Christ fully embodies God’s nature, and believers, now part of His kingdom of light, are called to live out their new life and await His glorious return. November 23, 2025 Lead Pastor Steve Atkins
