About the Series
Deep Roots – If Paul had anything to say to the Colossians, it would be this: “Just remember folks, it is all about Jesus!” Accodring to Paul the key to true faith is to become deeply rooted, established, and built up in Jesus Christ. We are buried with him, risen in Hm, and now we are called to live in Him.

All Or Nothing – All or Nothing – Every one of us wants something that we can give our lives for? What will you die for? What will you live for? Te greatest leader of all time asks us to give it all. Jesus said, “Deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow me.” Is He worth giving it all for? Will we follow?

About the Series
Follow: Are you a believer or a follower? Many people profess a belief in Jesus Christ, but they do not always live out a lifestyle of true faith and obedience. Jesus did not just call us to believe. He called us to follow. This five week series challenges us to focus on truly becoming disciples of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to follow? What holds us back? And how can we move forward as a follower.

The Gift You Can’t Live Without – Jesus Christ offers the gift that you literally can’t live without. Jesus gave his life to rescue us from an eternity separated from God. Will you choose to surrender your life and follow Him? Or will you choose to go your own way and miss heaven?

About the Series
When we think of heroes, we often think of larger than life comic book characters who can save the day, larger than life characters who can change the course of history, or larger than life athletes who can win the game. We don’t often think of parents when we think of heroes. And yet there is truly no more heroic call than being a mom or a dad. At the end of the day, every parent would love to be a hero in the eyes of their child.

We certainly each have the right to decide our individual belief system. No one can choose that for us, nor should they. The question still remains though: is there a way that we can really know what is true? Is there an objective standard? How can we truly know if there is a divine design for human life?

Over the last couple of weeks, I have written about the power of the Bible. The Bible is a very unique book that many believe is the inspired revelation of God. Scripture itself speaks about its own inspiration. In Psalm 19, the writer speaks of God’s Word as a life giving word that can revive dead hearts, and as a light that can bring guidance to our lives.

The Psalmist also speaks of the enduring nature of God’s Word: “The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous”( Psalm 19:9).

God’s Word endures forever. This means his word will take its stand forever. God has always been right in the past, and He will remain so in the future. God’s Word is not the latest fad. You will not find it on the shelf at your bookstore in the newest list of self-help books. It is certainly not the latest cultural trend, as so many people become more humanistic instead of Christ centered. Scripture will not be the most popular book for those who say we need to be more enlightened because we are now living in the 21st century.

According to God, all of those things are just fads that will one day pass away. So many of society’s values are built upon sinking sand, because they are not built upon the eternal wisdom of Almighty God. God’s ordinances are “sure.” This means that his word is firm, faithful, and reliable. God’s Word is not only sure, but altogether righteous. This communicates the idea of a straight path, or straight way. It is not crooked. God’s Word will not lead you astray.

The point is clear – God’s Word is the ultimate foundation for your life. The holy book of scripture is calling to you, seeking to offer a firm foundation for you to build your life upon.

What are you building your life upon? Where do you draw your truth from? In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke of a man who built his house upon the sand, and another who built his house upon the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against both houses. The house on the rock did not fail because it had a firm foundation. The house on the sand fell with a great crash because its foundation was weak.

Jesus is very clear in his message. The man who built on the sand is like the person who hears his word but does not put it into practice. This is a life that is not built upon truth, therefore the foundation is weak. This lifestyle will ultimately collapse and fail. The man who built on the rock is like the person who hears God’s Word and lives it out. The storms will come, and the winds will blow, but this person’s life will stand the test of time. According to Jesus, there is no foundation to build your life upon other than word of God. So how is your foundation? Is it sure? Is it enduring? Is it built upon the rock? And that’s the Word.
