SECOND TO NONE | Raised in Jesus
What's most important to us isn't always what we say is most important. What's really most important is what our lives demonstrate allegiance and deference towards - that is, what we actually do with our lives shows what's most important.
But how do we come to that place of what our actions show is of most value? God's Word and human experience point to what happens in our minds is the birthplace of our values and what we do in light of them. What we "set our minds on" becomes what we - in all effect - worship.

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.
