current series: Colossians
When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Colossian church, he makes it clear that it is all about Jesus. Christ is our sufficient hope and the one who holds all things together. Christ is above all! This letter not only gives us a grand vision of the person and saving work of Jesus, but moves us to align to His mission and live our lives centered on Christ. What kind of life is that? Join us for this 5-week series to find out starting April 7th!
