Men's BBQ Trail Blazes Forward 

The Men's BBQ Trail kicked off with 11 hungry guys, a mountain of brisket, and a whole lotta laughs. The first stop? A smokin’ success — good food, great fellowship, and enough meat to make a cow nervous.

Richard’s info-mercial was right — this trail delivers! And this was only stop one.

Christ Alone: The Mystery Revealed, the Debt Erased 

Sunday, Jeff Pennington delivered a soul-stirring lesson on Colossians 2:1–14—now available to watch online.

With wisdom, clarity, and heartfelt conviction, Jeff walked us through the Apostle Paul’s message to the Colossians: Christ is sufficient—completely and eternally. In a culture that craves deeper knowledge and spiritual shortcuts, this message reminds us that everything we need is found in Jesus.

False teachers may offer hidden mysteries and persuasive arguments, but Paul declares—and Jeff powerfully echoes—that the fullness of God dwells in Christ, and through Him, we are made whole. The debt of sin? Nailed to the cross. The confusion of man’s teaching? Silenced by the simplicity of the gospel.

Jeff’s lesson is more than teaching—it’s a call to rest in the finished work of Christ and walk with gratitude, truth, and strength.

Ready to be encouraged?
Watch the full message now and be reminded: It is Christ and Christ alone.

Victory at the Cross: 
Don’t Let Anyone Rob You of It! 
This week, Danny Reid will guide us through Colossians 2:15–23, where Paul declares Christ’s total victory over every spiritual power. We’ll explore how legalism, mysticism, and man-made religion still threaten to steal our freedom—but Paul’s message rings clear: Christ is enough. Come ready to be reminded that your salvation is secure, your hope is real, and your victory is already won at the cross.
