    Whatever You Prioritize

    In this sermon from Colossians 3, Pastor Jason explores what it means to live out a new life in Christ. Drawing on the truth that believers have spiritually died and been raised with Christ, He emphasizes that genuine transformation does not come from trying harder or following a list of rules. Instead, it begins on the inside, with a heart and mind set on eternal things rather than the passing concerns of this world. Pastor Jason walks through Paul’s call to “put off” the old self and “put on” the new self, explaining that every sinful struggle is rooted in a lie we believe. The path to change is the renewal of the mind, replacing those lies with the truth of God’s Word. He also stresses that this renewal is not a solo effort. Believers need community, people who will speak truth into their lives and help them stay anchored to who they truly are: chosen, holy, and dearly loved by God because of what Jesus has already done.

    Whatever Your Struggle

    Pastor Mark explores Paul’s perspective on suffering from Colossians 1:24-2:19, challenging us to see Jesus as more than just ‘seasoning’ in their lives but as their very life itself. Writing from prison, Paul demonstrates how suffering has purpose in God’s plan and reveals the mystery of ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory.’ The message emphasizes that struggles aren’t signs of God’s punishment but invitations to discover His presence more deeply. Paul warns against adding substitutes to Jesus (religious practices, special knowledge, positive thinking, control, etc.) and calls believers to remain connected to Christ as the head. The sermon concludes that suffering unlocks spiritual mysteries and builds character that couldn’t be developed any other way.

    Whatever You Believe

    In this opening sermon of a series through the book of Colossians, Pastor Jason introduces the theme of “whatever you do” from Colossians 3:17, challenging believers to move away from a cafeteria-style approach to faith where they pick and choose what is comfortable. The core idea is that everything in life is spiritual, and every moment is an opportunity to act in the name of Jesus and give thanks to God. Paul’s letter to the Colossians was written to correct false teaching that added requirements on top of Jesus, and before correcting the church, Paul affirms their faith, love, and hope rooted in eternity. The sermon focuses on four foundational beliefs about Jesus drawn from Colossians chapter one. First, Jesus created everything, so we should surrender everything to Him. Second, Jesus rescued us from darkness, so we can fully rely on Him rather than straining in our own strength. Third, Jesus defines us, presenting us without blemish before God, so we can live secure in that identity rather than being driven by guilt, shame, or performance. Fourth, Jesus holds all things together, so we must hold tight to Him and guard against the slow drift away from the gospel. He challenges each person to identify one area of life where Jesus is treated more like decoration than foundation, and to let their beliefs reshape their actions.

    Give Me Fuel, Give Me Fire

    This sermon concludes a series on worship, emphasizing that worship is not just what God deserves from us, but what God desires for us. Pastor Jason explains that worship is an exchange - we give our brokenness, weariness, and burdens to God, and He gives us strength, peace, and renewal in return. Using biblical examples from Satan’s fall, humanity’s sin in Romans 1, and David’s struggles in Psalm 42, the message shows how worship recalibrates our perspective and fuels our souls. The sermon concludes with communion as the ultimate example of God’s exchange - Jesus taking our sin and giving us His grace.

    How We Fight Our Battles

    This sermon explores the concept of spiritual warfare through the lens of worship. Pastor Jason discusses how worship is actually a form of warfare against Satan. Using biblical passages from Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14, he explains that Satan was originally a worship leader in heaven who fell due to pride and his desire to be worshipped rather than to worship God. The sermon emphasizes that there is an ongoing war for our worship, with Satan trying to redirect our allegiance away from God toward idols and worldly things. Pastor Jason illustrates this through the story of Job and Gloria Gaither’s experience writing ‘Because He Lives’ during a time of cultural upheaval and personal fear. The central message is that worship is not just singing songs, but declaring our allegiance to God and pushing back against spiritual darkness.

    More than a Song

    Pastor Mark delivers a powerful message about authentic worship, drawing from Psalm 63 where David worships God while hiding in the desert from those trying to kill him. The sermon emphasizes that everyone is a worshiper by nature the only choice is what we worship. He vulnerably shares his ow struggles with idolatry, including his pursuit of material things like a Mini Cooper, hunting adventures, and various projects that can become more important than pursuing God. He explains that worship i not about performance, punishment, or penance, but about genuine pursuit of God. Using David as an example of the greatest warrior who was also the greatest worshiper, he demonstrates that worship is an intentional choice that can happen anywhere, anytime - not just in church services.
