We often enjoy restoring what is broken. We see a old car or an appliance that's in disrepair and we work to restore it to its original condition. We may also see circumstances that need fixing and we do what we can to repair it. However, when we don't understand the depth of the encountered problem, we can't truly restore it. Paul reminds us that in our brokenness we can't simply be restored, but instead we need to be reconciled. And as much as we may try to do this under our own power, we are unable to do so. So, how are we as Christians truly reconciled?

How do you define success? What makes you feel successful? For some of us, it is the completion of a project at work or at school. It might be hitting a financial goal like landing a great job or paying off debt. The more we pursue success, we find that it is often an elusive goal. There will always be someone more successful than us or there is always more we can do. We're often pushing ourselves towards success and never really getting there.
So, how do you define success? What does success look like for us as Christ-followers and for us as the Church? Scripture has plenty to say about success and it rarely looks like how the world defines it. Join us as we look at the words of Paul as he considers who Jesus is and defines for us what success really means.

We have all come across situations and moments around us where we are convinced that things are not the way they are supposed to be. Whether it's current world events, or things that happen within our own families, when we see the chaos, we know that this is not right. So, how do we reconcile what is and how it was supposed to be? Is it something that we can accomplish on our own? Join us as we consider Jesus' role in our lives as the one who bridges what is and how it was supposed to be.

We can learn a lot about who we are and our priorities simply by looking at our calendar. It reveals to us who or what is important in our lives. We are protective of the time we spend with people that are important to us and for or the activities and hobbies that we enjoy. So, how do we determine what takes priority in our lives? Even in our lives as Christ followers, we are called to examine who or what comes first. How do we determine what's most important in our Christian walk?

Too often we feel that God is invisible in our lives. If we can't see him, how can we know him? This question has been asked by many over time. And many more have attempted to answer it with their own opinions of who God is. If we're honest, we too have created our own opinions of who God is. But of course, it is just that -- an opinion. So how do we truly understand who God is? Who is Jesus? What role does Jesus play and can we truly know who He is? We believe that the Word of God answers these questions, moving beyond opinions, and presenting truth. When we have a better understanding of who Jesus is in our lives, we have a better understanding of serving Him with our lives. Join us as we begin our new series "Who is Jesus?," as we look closely at the word of the Apostle Paul to the Colossian Church. Here he unpacks who Jesus truly is and how these truths impact our lives.
