On a weekly basis our ministers deliver sermons based in God’s Word that seek to encourage, challenge, and edify the church. Check out the Waterview livestream to watch our services as they happen.
In a nod to fathers on Father's Day, today we continue our series on Colossians by considering what a mature Christian looks like from Col. 2:1-7
For many, the concept of restoring the New Testament church has been jettisoned. How can we keep alive the dream of being the church described in the New Testament in the 21st Century?

We believe the Word of God, but how should we deepen our commitment to it as we move forward?
In our previous lesson, Col. 1:20 asserted that Christ would "reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven." As we move further into chapter 1, the next three verses start to expand on the idea of reconciliation. Paul tells the story of Christ, you and reconciliation through four movements in time that take us to the past, present, future and back to the present!
Since Jesus pointed the way when he ascended from the earth, our mission is clear. Make disciples of all the nations. How do we rekindle our passion to win the lost to Christ?
Sometimes nothing speaks to our hearts like a song. The beautiful words of Colossians 1:15-20 are thought to be an ancient song about Christ that Paul included in his message to the Colossians. With the Holy Spirit's stamp of approval, what we find in these verses is an eternal reminder for believers that Christ is first, most important and everything! Christ is all to us!
This lesson begins a new series focused on the book of Colossians. While written to a local church, the focus of Paul seems to be on the Christ of the church. If you take Christ out of the church you are no longer the church! In this lesson, we examine Paul's greeting which reads like a prayer of thanksgiving for them (1:3-12). But in these words, Paul really documents how Christ changed them.
There’s nothing wrong with aiming for success. However, in our culture success can become an idol and that’s a problem! In this lesson we take a look at the familiar parable of the talents and we allow Jesus to remind us our real goal should be spiritual success.
No other person influences the world like a mother. There are many things a mother can do to influence her children, but perhaps the greatest thing is to simply teach them about Jesus. In this lesson, we explore the single most important lesson a mother should teach her children: JESUS IS KING (Luke. 1:31-33).
