More Things To Do

Brian Hopkins

September 21, 2025

Paul concludes his letter to the Colossians with some instructions about prayer. He asks them to pray for him and those who are with him in Rome - not that they might be release from prison, but that God would open doors in their current situation to share the Gospel effectively with those around them. He advises the Colossians (and us) to be specific in our prayers, to always pray with thankful hearts, and to pray always in the Spirit. But he also gives a warning to always be watchful so that we don't fall into temptations from the spirit of our enemy.

New You – Better Life

Brian Hopkins

September 14, 2025

In the last part of Colossians 3, Paul gives instructions regarding our relationships with others - particularly our family members, our employees, and our employers. Over the years there has been a great deal of misunderstanding about this passage - so much so that preachers often simply skip over it to avoid controversy. However, it is really quite simple to understand these instructions. They reflect God's sovereign design for human society. Jesus is head of all. If men, women, and children simply submit ourselves under His authority and let all our words and actions reflect His lordship over them, the divinely ordained order for our human relationships falls right into line.

Homecoming 2025

A splendid time was enjoyed by all. Tugalo Holler played for us including their popular Old Man Noah song with exotic animal sounds. Adam Hopkins shared a message from Psalm 73, and of course there was barbecue.

Out With the Old – In With the New

Brian Hopkins

August 31, 2025

Paul continues in Colossians 3 encouraging us to put to death all of the old sinful remnants of our former lives, and in their place to "put on" as one would a garment all of the Christ-like characteristics with which our LORD Jesus has endowed us - particularly Christ's love for all people, which binds all these Christ-like characteristics together in Him.

Spiritual Maturity – Part 3

Brian Hopkins

August 24, 2025

Paul begins the third chapter of his letter to the Colossians by reminding them (and us) that those who are "in Christ" - that is, everyone who has proclaimed Jesus as our personal Savior and LORD - have died to our former life of worldliness and sin and are reborn to new life in Christ. Therefore, Paul encourages believers to focus our lives upon Jesus and Heavenly things, forsaking not only our sins, but all the worldly pursuits, pleasures, and entertainments which might distract us from our relationship with Him.

Spiritual Maturity – Part 2

Brian Hopkins

August 10, 2025

In Colossians 2:6, Paul encourages Jesus followers who have received new life in Christ to "walk with Him." We will naturally start out just barely able to walk, but as we persevere in following our LORD Jesus, we will eventually learn to run with endurance the race that He has set before us in service of His Kingdom. Along the way, we will encounter distractions - snares set by our great enemy to distract us from abiding in our Christian walk. In the latter part of Colossians 2, Paul warns us about some of these snares - legalism, asceticism, worship of angels, and the "elemental spirits of this world." Paul encourages us to set such things aside and focus squarely upon the LORD Jesus alone.

Mission Driven

We are to live each day on mission. From beginning to end, our day is to be lived with God’s Kingdom in mind. In Matthew 28 Jesus said to “Go into ALL the world.” Go into our local community, our state, our nation, and every corner of the world with the life-giving good news that can only be found in a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ!

Community Centered

God never intended for man to be alone. He understands how much we need each other and intends for us to live life together as a community of believers. We are to share in the messy, painful, and difficult circumstances we face on a day-to-day basis. Also, we are to share the merciful, grace filled, joyful, and peaceful times as well. We desire to be genuine, compassionate, loving, forgiving, and serving people, just like Jesus.

Gospel Oriented

Everything we think, say, or do is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Who we are, how we live, and why we exist is because of His finished work on the cross, in the tomb, and as the risen King. This knowledge is the foundation for our lives. The Gospel is not a compartment of our lives, but the life-giving source from which we daily consume.
