What happens when a culture becomes more hostile toward Christians and toward the church? Pastor Colin talks about the positive effect that this can have on the church.
If you pursue the life that God calls you to, what lies ahead for you? What should you expect? Jesus tells us that we will be blessed by God, and we will be persecuted in the world.
The Christian life is not about pretending to be something you’re not. It's learning to be who you are. Pastor Colin talks about who you are in Christ.
Many Christians are comfortable saying “I’m in process.” But we hesitate to say, “I’ve been changed.” Pastor Colin talks about how both of these things are true of every Christian.
