SECOND TO NONE | The Rule of Jesus
The notion that “You’re not the boss of me!” may very well be the anthem of modern Western society. We really, really don’t like people telling us what to do, how to think, or really much of anything that we don’t already believe. But the reality is that we are actually all already under the thumb of whatever we worship - even if that’s ourselves. The freedom and peace that God offers us through Jesus must produce a willing, thankful response of allowing Him to “take the steering wheel” of our lives, trusting that He has what’s best at heart. In other words, if we’re willing to trust Jesus with our eternities, we need to be willing to trust Him with our todays.

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.
