Don’t Wander Off

By: Rev. Chip Blackshear
Series: Colossians
After reminding the Colossians about who Jesus is in the first part of the letter, Paul then shares his practical concern with them. Theology is always practical. Paul has reminded them of the truth and then tells them not to be taken captive by anything else, especially false teachers. In this message from Colossians 2:6-23 Pastor Chip helps us see why the same message is important for us today.

Why Jesus

By: Rev. Chip Blackshear
Series: Colossians
The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record Jesus asking his disciples who people think Jesus is. They tell him what they've heard and then Jesus asks them, "Who do YOU say that I am?" That question is the heart of theology and it's a question that every person needs to think about and answer. Colossians tells us the answer plainly saying that Jesus is God in person.

Knowing the Truth

By: Rev. Chip Blackshear
Series: Colossians
Paul's letter to the Colossians presents perhaps the clearest description in the Bible of who Jesus is and why it matters. But before Paul gets into that he begins with what is basically a love letter to that little church. And in that love letter he tells them that he prays for them often and he shares what he prays. Paul and his fellow workers pray that they would be filled with the knowledge of the truth about Jesus. Because this is God's Word, the same prayer applies to us. God wants you to be filled with the knowledge of the truth of Jesus.

You Were Made for This

The reason we all have that desire is because we are made in the image of God, and God creates! Listen as Pastor Chip looks at the account of creation in Genesis and humans role in creating with God.

Remember to Forget

By: Chip Blackshear
Series:
Not only are we called to remember all the great things God has done for us, but God also tells us we are also to forget some things as well. In Philippians 6, the Apostle Paul says that he forgets what lies behind so he can press on toward Jesus. What he's forgetting about is all of his accomplishments in the past as well as all of his hurts. Listen as Pastor Chip discusses what we need to forget.

Over 200 times God tells us in His Word to "remember." But the biblical command to remember is more than just recalling facts. It's meant to shape our identity as the people of God.

Sinners and Saints: Anger!

By: Chip Blackshear
Series: Sinners and Saints
Many people don't consider anger a sin because it's such a common human emotion. Technically anger is not a sin but wrath or rage is. Wrath is taking out your anger on another person. Pastor Chip teaches from Ephesians 4:25-5:2 showing how to put away anger and replace it with the virtue of patience.
