SECOND TO NONE | Alive in Jesus
One of the core tenets of Christianity is the notion of eternal life. It's the idea that God offers us a life with Him and without end. So often, our culture (both secular and religious) has pictured this as some sort of down-the-road, floating on the clouds existence. In fact, if we're honest, it's been pictured in a way that could be called ... well, boring, if we're really honest.
And while this is a very different picture of "heaven" than what the Bible portrays, what's worse is that it pictures this eternal life as something that will happen some day down the road. The Bible, however, indicates that this life that we're promised isn't something that we will only enjoy at some far off point, but rather it's something that we can and should enjoy and manifest right now.

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.
