    4D AGO

    The Church That Prays | Colossians 4:2–4

    What does it really look like to be a church that prays? In this message from Colossians 4:2–4, Pastor Nick teaches how prayer is meant to be more than a religious routine. Prayer is a daily relationship with our Heavenly Father that strengthens us, realigns our hearts, deepens our gratitude, and opens doors for the gospel. This teaching walks through what it means to be: steadfast in prayer, watchful in prayer, and thankful in prayer. You’ll also see how Jesus modeled prayer, why prayer changes us even when circumstances do not, and why every believer is called to pray for others, for the church, and for opportunities to share God’s Word. If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, distracted, discouraged, or unsure how to pray, this episode will encourage you to draw near to God and trust Him in every season. In this episode: Colossians 4:2–4 explainedWhy prayer is a way of life, not just a last resortThe connection between prayer, peace, and spiritual strengthHow to pray with consistency, awareness, and gratitudeWhy prayer still changes lives today Listen in and be encouraged to become part of a church that prays.

    What does it look like to build a strong family in a culture that’s constantly pushing against God’s design?

  3. Look Up: Put Off the Old Self, Put On the New (Colossians 3:1–17)

    FEB 22

    Look Up: Put Off the Old Self, Put On the New (Colossians 3:1–17)

    In Colossians 3:1–17 (ESV), Paul gives a simple, life-changing command: look up. If you’ve been raised with Christ, seek the things above and set your mind on Jesus—because we don’t defeat sin by trying harder or staring at the problem. We defeat sin by running to Christ. In this message, we walk verse-by-verse through what it means to put to death what is earthly in us (sexual immorality, impurity, evil desire, covetousness/idolatry, anger, slander, obscene talk, and lying) and to put off the old self and put on the new. We also talk about the difference between biblical conviction vs. legalism, the seriousness of sin and God’s coming wrath, and how real change happens when Jesus fills our vision. Paul then shows us what to “put on” as God’s people: compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and love—so the peace of Christ rules our hearts, the word of Christ dwells in us richly, and whatever we do we do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Scripture: Colossians 3:1–17 (ESV) Big Idea: Don’t stare at the problem—look to Jesus.

  4. Supreme: Quit Playing Church | Colossians 2:16-23

    Supreme: Quit Playing Church | Colossians 2:16-23

    Are you living out your faith—or just acting? In today’s message, “Quit Playing Church,” we continue our study through Colossians 2:6–23 and hear Paul’s warning: don’t let anyone take you captive with empty promises, religious pressure, or “Jesus + something else” spirituality. We talk about: Why performance-based Christianity (legalism) is exhausting and joyless“Diets and days” (food laws, festivals, Sabbath) and why they don’t make you holyHow the Pharisees looked righteous on the outside but were “dead inside” (Matthew 23)Jesus’ invitation to the weary: “Come to me… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28–30)Real growth happens by holding fast to Jesus and abiding in Him, not by self-made religion The solution isn’t to act better—it’s to abide in Jesus. Because Jesus is all you need, and He is more than enough.

    Supreme: Captive or Captivated? | Colossians 2:6-15

    Are you being captured by the world’s ideas—or captivated by Jesus? In today’s message from Colossians 2:6–15, we walk through Paul’s warning against being taken captive by philosophy, empty deceit, human tradition, and spiritual forces that are “not according to Christ.” Paul calls the church (and us) back to a Christ-centered biblical worldview: receive Christ Jesus as Lord, walk in Him, and be rooted, built up, and established in the faith, abounding in thanksgiving. We also celebrate the heart of the gospel—Jesus forgives our sin, cancels our spiritual debt, nails it to the cross, and triumphs over every ruler and authority. If you’ve been drifting, distracted, or discouraged, this sermon is a call to come back and be captivated by the love of God and the finished work of Jesus. Key Scripture: Colossians 2:6–15 (ESV) Topics: biblical worldview, Christian discipleship, false teaching, spiritual warfare, Jesus is God, forgiveness, the cross, rooted in Christ, gratitude, doctrine and truth Listen, share, and reflect: What’s shaping your worldview right now—Christ, or culture?

  6. Supreme: Choose Joy in the Struggle | Colossians 1:24–2:5

    FEB 1

    Supreme: Choose Joy in the Struggle | Colossians 1:24–2:5

    This week at Fervent Church, Sam continues our verse-by-verse study through Colossians with a message from Colossians 1:24–2:5. Paul writes from prison to strengthen believers facing confusion, false teaching, and “almost-true” distortions of the gospel. In this passage, we see that suffering doesn’t have to be wasted—and that joy is not just a feeling, but a chosen response rooted in Christ. Sam also unpacks Paul’s heart as a servant, the “mystery” now revealed—Christ in you, the hope of glory—and why being grounded in Scripture is the way we recognize and resist deception. In this sermon: Why joy can be a choice even in hardshipHow God uses suffering to encourage others and build the churchThe difference between Christ’s finished work and the trials believers still faceWhat it means to be a servant with a God-given commissionHow to spot lies by knowing the truthA call to communion, repentance, and faith in Jesus Scripture: Colossians 1:24–2:5 (with supporting passages including James 1:2–4, Philippians 4:4–7, Acts 7:54–60, 2 Corinthians 1:3–5, John 15:18–25, Mark 10:35–45) If you’re walking through a hard season, this message will encourage you to seek the Lord, stay rooted in His Word, and trust that God is working even here.

  7. The One Thing That Matters Most | Mary and Martha | Luke 10:38-42

    JAN 25

    The One Thing That Matters Most | Mary and Martha | Luke 10:38-42

    Are you busy for Jesus... but not with Jesus? It's one of the most convicting questions in the Christian life—and it's exactly what Jesus addresses in the story of Mary and Martha. In this sermon from Luke 10:38-42, Pastor Nick unpacks the familiar account of two sisters who both loved Jesus but related to Him in very different ways. Martha served. Mary sat. And when Martha complained, Jesus gently corrected her: "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things. But one thing is necessary." What is that one thing? And why do so many of us miss it? This message explores: • Why distraction—not rebellion—may be the greatest threat to your faith • The difference between being busy FOR Jesus and being WITH Jesus • What it means to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His word • How the practice of solitude helps us choose the "good portion" • The biblical pattern of "one thing" in Psalm 27, Luke 18, and Philippians 3 This sermon is part of Fervent Church's series on the Practices of Jesus—exploring the spiritual rhythms that shaped the life of Christ: Sabbath, Prayer, Fasting, and Solitude. Whether you're a pastor running on empty, a parent overwhelmed by responsibility, or someone who just feels spiritually distant—this message is an invitation to slow down, silence the noise, and sit at His feet again. 📖 Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 📚 References: Acts 22:3, Psalm 27:4, Luke 18:22, Philippians 3:13-14, Mark 3:14, John 15, Luke 5:16 🎯 Series: Practices of Jesus (Week 4: Solitude) Church: Fervent Church | Hutto, Texas 🌐 Website: fervent.church 📍 We meet Sundays at 9:30am at Nadine Johnson Elementary in Hutto, TX #MaryAndMartha #Luke10 #PracticesOfJesus #Solitude #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #SpiritualDisciplines #FerventChurch #Discipleship #PastorLife #ChurchLeadership Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fervent-church/donations

  8. Supreme: The Supremacy of Christ | Colossians 1:15-23

    JAN 18

    Supreme: The Supremacy of Christ | Colossians 1:15-23

    In Colossians 1:15–23, Paul gives us one of the clearest, most powerful pictures of who Jesus really is—and why it matters. The church in Colossae was being pressured to believe a “Jesus + something else” gospel. More rules. More secrets. More spiritual add-ons. But Paul lovingly (and firmly) pulls them back to the center: Jesus is not a lesser version of God. Jesus is God. Jesus is supreme. And Jesus is enough. In this sermon, “The Supremacy of Christ,” we walk through five reasons Jesus is supreme: Jesus reveals God perfectly — He is the image of the invisible God (v.15). If you’ve ever wondered what God is like, look at Jesus.Jesus is Lord over all creation — everything was created by Him, through Him, and for Him (v.16).Jesus sustains everything — in Him all things hold together (v.17). The universe isn’t held together by chance; it’s held together by Christ.Jesus is the Head of the Church — the church isn’t built on personalities or platforms; it belongs to Jesus (v.18).Jesus alone reconciles us to God — peace isn’t earned by trying harder; it’s made by the blood of His cross(vv.19–22). Paul’s call is simple and urgent: don’t shift from the hope of the gospel. Stay anchored in the real Jesus—Creator, Sustainer, Savior, King. If you feel far from God, discouraged, or distracted by a thousand voices, this passage brings you back to what’s true: Jesus is before all things… and Jesus is for you.
