Colossians 3 Review part 2
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world. It’s a lofty goal, but one that is certainly not beyond our reach.

Colossians 3:1-4 part 2
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Sometimes we get impatient, discouraged, and become weary in this life. It’s then that we need to be reminded that good and wonderful things are around the corner, and this is not all there is. It’s important at times like these, to set our hearts and minds on things above. The hereafter is what we are to be here after, as someone has wisely noted. We join pastor Jim Jarrett in Colossians three today, as he highlights the things that matter most.

Colossians 3:1-4 part 1
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Pastor Jim Jarrett is continuing his verse by verse study of Colossians, and today we enter chapter three. Most, if not all of us want to make a difference and a lasting impact. And if you’re a Christian you want to live for the Lord. However, in this life it is so easy to get off track, and start to focus on things that really don’t matter in the light of eternity.

Colossians 2:16-23 part 2
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
As we complete our look at Colossians two today, I’ll remind you that in this section of God’s word, we’ve been studying some things that can easily distract and rip us off from what God has for us. Legalism is a common term for this problem, and it all boils down to where you place your trust - the words of men or the words of God. Too many people today are hung up on following rules and denying themselves the good things of life in order to show God how Godly they are.

Colossians 2:16-23 part 1
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
Today Jim will bring us another study in the book of Colossians, as we continue a look at a very real threat to our relationship with God - legalism. These verses are well known, but often misunderstood, and that has led to a lot of misunderstanding. It doesn’t have to be that way, of course.

Colossians 2:11-15 part 2
Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett
There are certainly things in this life that we can’t be too confident about. The stock market is a good example, as it has ups and downs that often times resembles a roller coaster ride. In the midst of this uncertainty, It’s nice to know, that we can be confident in the really important things...namely our salvation in Christ.
info_outlineMaybe you’ve noticed the Bible contains quite a number of genealogies. And so many of us read them without much attention! But there are all kinds of hidden treasures to be found in them, as we’ll see today on Growing in the Word. Pastor Jim Jarrett draws our attention to Genesis five and the generations of Adam. First, we take notice of a man named Enoch, who walked faithfully with God before the Lord took him away.
