In this sermon, Pastor Kevin shows us how important it is for us to see the connection of this passage to the previous verses in Hebrews 12:1-11.

In this 2017 Thanksgiving message, Pastor Kevin directs our attention to Psalm 69 as he focuses on the topic of Gratitude. Whereas ingratitude and a lack of thankfulness define a lost culture, gratitude and thankfulness are one thing that the Scriptures use to define God’s people.

In this sermon, Pastor Zack concludes our study of Colossians 2:8-15 by looking at our complete forgiveness in Christ as being the final reason that we should be able to stand firm against false teachers and false teaching.
