SECOND TO NONE | Our Fellowship in Jesus
“Who are you?” It’s one of the questions that we all get asked many times over in life. In one form or another, we’re asked to identify ourselves. Whether we answer it simply, like with our names, or by fleshing it out a bit with a few more details about what we do and where we come from, we’re trying to let someone else know about us and how they can relate to us.
But what if our identity was both much deeper and far more important than we typically think? And what if our identity is truly personal, yes, but also inextricably bound into our community and the purpose God has offered to us?

Message Series Description:
What do we do with the reality of Jesus - His life, His teaching, His example, His resurrection, all of it? In the Bible, the book of Colossians is the Apostle Paul's impassioned plea to a fledgling church in the ancient world, calling on these relatively new believers in Colossae to understand who Jesus really is - not just a great teacher or a good man, but the actual divine Son of God who created the entire universe! His big idea is that Jesus is supreme over everything, so we shouldn't get distracted by human traditions and rules when you've got the real truth right in front of you. If we want to grow spiritually, the Apostle claims, we've got to stay rooted in Christ and let Him transform our lives from the inside out - instead of just trying to follow a bunch of dos and don'ts. At the end of the day, living for Christ means putting on qualities like compassion, kindness, and forgiveness - that is, we've got to become more like Jesus each day of our lives.
