[Sunday] Christ In All Things - In All Things

Paul, in prison, writes a letter of encouragement to the church, a letter that does not say Christ is just in what you do, but rather Christ is in all things. So we are confident that he is here to help. We're encouraged to live in peace, knowing that God is on our side.

Amos Chapters 3-5 Class 3 - Bible Study

During our February 11, 2026, study, we explored Amos chapters 3-5, where God challenges Israel's hypocrisy, condemning their social injustice and empty religious rituals while calling them to let justice and righteousness flow like a mighty stream.

In our study of Amos, we explored God's judgment against nations for their social injustices and lack of compassion, revealing the timeless warning against seeking security in worldly power ("becoming Babylon") and the call to find our true identity in God's kingdom rather than in tribalism.

[Sunday] Good In All Things - In All Things

We desire to live the good life which will ultimately land us in the good place. But in our search for the good place, we may find ourselves not fulfilled as our lust for desires goes unmet. Maybe true fulfillment can be found in death and resurrection.

Questions for the week

  1. Describe something you thought was good, but ended up being bad in your life.

  2. Read Colossians 3:1-17.   What two types of lifestyles does Paul compare?   How has Jesus freed you to live the second type of lifestyle?

  3. Read Colossians 3:18- 4:1.   How does Paul's encouragement in these verses encourage us to reflect Jesus in relationships with others?

[Sunday] Forward In All Things - In All Things

When I moved, I placed everything in a huge moving truck and rolled my car onto a small trailer. This taught me a simple lesson in life, one we see here in the Bible: always be moving forward.

Questions for the week

  1. Describe a time when you stopped moving forward and got stuck going backwards.

  2. Read Colossians 2:6-15.  What does it mean to “walk in Christ?”

  3. What empty philosophies might hold you captive?

  4. How does walking in Christ and in what he has done free us from that captivity?

[Sunday] Hope In All Things - In All Things

When looking for hope, we often try to find it in other gods and gospels, but the Holy Spirit is always calling us back to the one that can truly save us. See why Jesus matters.

Questions for the week

  1. Describe a song that has impacted you.  What about it made such an impact?

  2. Read Colossians 1:15-20.  Paul is writing in poetry.  What other parts of the Bible is this song like?

  3. Paul draws us to the wonder of creation and how that creator is with us in all things.  How does that change how you look at the world around you?

[Sunday] Song of All Things - In All Things

Beginning his letter of encouragement, Paul leans into the history of the scriptures, using the language of song to convey something bigger than can be realized with just mere words. With the prophets, the psalms, and even the first five books behind him, he weaves encouragement the only way a song can.

While sitting in prison, the apostle Paul receives word of a new church. He pens a letter of encouragement, filled with love and songs, about how Jesus the Christ is in all things. This is a reminder that the Christian story encompasses all things. Nothing -- and no one -- is left out.
