This Sunday, we will be hearing from our Associate Pastor Craig Ison as he delivers the sermon "Raised with Christ". The text for this sermon - Colossians 3:1-11 - is a letter to the church at Colossae. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul, who was in prison at the time, to write this letter to the church to direct them back to Jesus, their Savior. The environment in Colossae was very much like our world today ... rulers who have turned away from God, people who choose to persecute those who follow Christ, a culture filled with pagan gods, and wolves who desire to cause division among the people (even in the church). Paul tells the people to set their minds on things above and not on things of the earth. A true believer is one who pursues holiness, and as they grow closer to Christ, the desires of their hearts change. They are a new creation in Christ!
If you would like to know more, please join us this Sunday, either in person or online via Facebook, at 10:30 a.m., to learn what it means to be "Raised with Christ". Everyone is welcome!
