When Grace Greets You:
A Letter That Changes Everything
This past Sunday, Jeff Pennington opened our summer journey through Colossians with a powerful look at part of the opening chapter —yet what a start it was!
With clarity and conviction, Jeff reminded us that Paul’s introduction wasn’t a formality—it was a declaration of identity, authority, and purpose. We explored the dangers of false teaching in a confused culture, the deep transformation of Paul’s life, and the gentle strength Timothy brought alongside him. Above all, we were invited to see that grace and peace aren't just theological terms—they are gifts from our Heavenly Father, extended through Christ to every believer.
Whether you were in class or missed the lesson, this is one to watch and reflect on. Start your week with encouragement and truth.
Watch Jeff Pennington’s lesson below and be blessed by the greeting that changed a church—and can still change hearts today.
When Faith Bears Fruit: A Prayer Worth Imitating
This Sunday, Danny Reid leads us through Colossians 1:3–12—a powerful section where Paul doesn’t just teach truth, he prays it. As the early church wrestled with competing voices and cultural pressures, Paul’s prayer reminded them—and reminds us—that the preeminence of Christ is not just doctrine, it’s personal.
Together, we’ll explore how faith, love, and hope work together to shape a vibrant Christian life, how the gospel continues to bear fruit, and how spiritual growth is rooted in knowing God’s will. You’ll be challenged to pray bigger, live deeper, and stand firmer in Christ.
Come discover the kind of prayer that reshapes a church. Don’t miss Danny’s lesson this Sunday!
Bring a friend and your Bible—and come ready to be encouraged!
Why We’re Here: A Timely Reflection on Our Purpose
In the rhythm of weekly gatherings, it’s easy to forget our deeper purpose. But our Life Bible Study class exists for more than fellowship — we are here to:
Reach. Teach. Win. Disciple.
This mission aligns directly with Jesus’ Great Commission:
“Go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19–20).
We’re called to action — not passivity.
We’re here to Reach the lost, Teach truth, Win hearts, and Disciple one another in Christ.
This week, ask God to place one person on your heart to reach out to — with a text, a visit, an invitation to class, or a prayer. Make the mission personal.
Let’s not just attend class — let’s live the Commission.
