It was very appropriate as New Heights turned 14 today, that we began our series with Paul's letter to the Christians in Colossae. Paul wrote in chapter 1, verse 3, "...and we give thanks to God..." Although several thoughts are shared in this message, there is none more important than giving credit where credit is due. Sure we have had great Christian men and women through the years to bring us where we are today as a church, but we want to give all glory to God!

Colossians: Week 1

Paul reveals two things that he is praying to God for concerning the Christians at Colossae. The first is that their knowledge be complete. They are still growing in the faith, and Paul desires that growth to continue. The second is that they may have the endurance and patience they need. Why? Because of the hardships they will endure. What about you? Have you stopped growing in your knowledge of who God is and His purpose for you? Are you lacking patience and endurance for the storms in your life that will come? If so then this message is for you!

Colossians: Week 2

Paul declares that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. That means that if we want to know anything about God (how He thinks, what He's like), we need only to turn to the Gospels and study the life of Christ. This morning we take a look at three attributes of God found in Christ: merciful, compassionate, and all-powerful. Because of this, Paul affirms that everything was created by Him and for Him.

Colossians: Week 3

Since Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, Paul continues by proclaiming He is intimately aware of all creation, whether it's in the heavens above or even the ground below, and creation is sustained because of Him. He is also intimately aware of each believer, as He is head of His church. Yet, we're often guilty of not placing Him in the place of prominence in our lives, relegating Him to a corner or secondary position.
