Lessons from Haggai
The circumstances in Jerusalem in 520 BC were tough, like today. The people were distracted by all the hardship . . . like today.

Actors in a Supporting Role
In Colossians 4:7-14 Paul writes about a cast of character who play a supporting role in the work of the ministry. He commends many for their faithful service, but a further look reveals that not each one remained faithful. May God use this message to encourage us to give our best to the Lead Actor, in the drama of redemption, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Church Clean-Up Day
Paul addressed the need for holy living in the congregation in Colossians 3:5-11.

Religion vs. Relationship
In Colossians 2:16-3:4, Paul highlights the difference between having to live under the Law compared to living in relationship with the Lord. Legalism, spiritism, egotism, asceticism don't measure up. We are in relationship to God when we walk in fellowship based on His saving and sustaining grace
