Growing in the Word with Pastor Jim Jarrett

Exploring God's Word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Colossians 1:24-29 pt 2a 07/22/2026

Colossians 1:24-29 pt 2a Hopelessness is a problem that plagues many people today. Can you imagine facing the hardships of this world without God? That’s the problem for people without hope - they need the hope we find in a relationship with Jesus Christ, Paul addresses our hope of glory in Colossians chapter one. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047705

Colossians 1:24-29 pt 1b 07/21/2026

Colossians 1:24-29 pt 1b Today we’ll resume our verse by verse study through Colossians, as we consider obedience. This life produces a certain amount of suffering for the Christian, but if we remain faithful to God’s word, we’ll make it through! If you’re a parent, you know how happy it makes you when your kids obey and respect your wishes. The same is true with our Heavenly Father. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047695

Colossians 1:24-29 Part 1a 07/20/2026

Colossians 1:24-29 Part 1a We’ll be continuing our series through Colossians here today on the broadcast, as we begin a four day look at the final six verses in chapter one. You’ve no doubt been asked to do something that was a stretching experience for you, that called you to go out of you comfort zone. Well, sometimes our call to ministry will lead us beyond our comfort zone too, and that’s a good thing as we’ll soon see. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047680

Colossians 1:15-20 Part 2b 07/17/2026

Colossians 1:15-20 Part 2b Today we continue our series through the book of Colossians. We will be looking today at chapter one, verses nineteen through twenty. These verses have to do with Jesus Christ and His role as reconciler. Who did He reconcile? Jesus came to earth and died on a cross to reconcile us with God. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047670

Colossians 1:15-20 Part 2a 07/16/2026

Colossians 1:15-20 Part 2a In times of trial it’s comforting to realize that our Lord Jesus Christ is in charge of everything. We are in Colossians chapter one today, and pastor Jim will share some truths about our savior as we study this essential scripture. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047655

Colossians 1:15-20 part 1b 07/15/2026

Colossians 1:15-20 part 1b We’re told in scripture that Jesus is the creator of heaven and earth. So, then what should we do if He really is the God of creation? Pastor Jim Jarrett will pursue that question here today on Growing in the Word. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047640

Colossians 1:15-20 Part 1a 07/14/2026

Colossians 1:15-20 Part 1a Today we’ll focus once again on the first chapter of Colossians, this time in verses fifteen through twenty. Remember that this letter from Paul was written to a group of believers, the Colossians, who had been deceived by false teachers. In the verses we’ll study today, Paul goes about setting the record straight on exactly who Jesus Christ is. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047630

Colossians 1:9-14 part 2 07/13/2026

Colossians 1:9-14 part 2 We’re currently studying the book of Colossians, and today we’ll bring you the second half of a study Jim began last time, dealing with chapter one, verses nine through fourteen. One mistake many people make is believing that you can have a halfway relationship with God. Can you believe in Him, and serve Him, and still walk in the darkness of the world? /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/42047625

Colossians 1:9-14 part 1 07/10/2026

Colossians 1:9-14 part 1 Today on Growing in the Word, we’re going to once again see the folly of such an attitude. Colossians chapter one points us toward our inheritance in heaven...an inheritance that no amount of money can buy! If you had to choose between riches on earth and riches in heaven, what would be your “final answer”? /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41971000

Colossians 1:3-8 part 2 07/09/2026

Colossians 1:3-8 part 2 When you think about the great men of the Bible, one name that is near the top of everyone’s list is the Apostle Paul. One of his greatest qualities was his selflessness. Today as we continue studying Colossians chapter one, we see this trait quite clearly. Paul is in jail in Rome, and yet his concern is for his brothers in the Colossian church. They’ve been deceived and taken in by some false doctrine, and Paul writes this little letter to help get them back on course. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41970995

Colossians 1:3-8 part 1 07/08/2026

Colossians 1:3-8 part 1 Today on Growing in the Word as we continue our new series in Colossians, we’ll see that this is the very situation Paul finds himself in. His brothers in the Colossians church had allowed some false teaching to creep into their doctrine. As he always does, Paul comes up with some wonderful advice for the Colossians, and our teacher, Jim Jarrett, will take us through them today. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41970975

Colossians 1:1-3 part 3 07/07/2026

Colossians 1:1-3 part 3 As Jim has mentioned, this letter to the little church in Colossi was written by Paul, while he was imprisoned. Was he angry at being in jail? No. Was he throwing a pity party? No. He was concerned enough for the Colossians that he sent this powerful letter to them to remind them of the supremacy of Jesus and the need to discern false doctrine from true. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41970945

Colossians 1:1-3 part 2 07/06/2026

Colossians 1:1-3 part 2 Pastor Jim has just begin a new series going through Colossians, one of the letters the Apostle Paul wrote from a jail cell. He didn’t spend any time feeling sorry for himself in this four chapter letter. As a matter of fact if you didn’t know he was in prison, you would never guess that is where he wrote Colossians. Paul’s message here is simple - Christ is supreme over everything in the universe, and so He should be worshipped and followed. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41970930

Colossians 1:1-3 part 1 07/03/2026

Colossians 1:1-3 part 1 If you’re looking for practical ways to live the Christian life, then Paul’s epistle to the Colossians is a good place to go. We’ll start with the first three verses of chapter one. As we all know, a relationship with Jesus begins with a changed heart and a reborn life. There is no better example of what the Holy Spirit can do in a life than the Apostle Paul. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41856735

The Tower of Babel part 3 07/02/2026

The Tower of Babel part 3 Today on Growing in the Word, pastor Jim Jarrett brings to a close his series in Genesis. We look back all those thousands of years to the time right after the flood, and we see that not much has changed. Technologically we’re very advanced, but sin-wise, we’re still stuck in the mud from the flood! /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41856725

The Tower of Babel part 2 07/01/2026

The Tower of Babel part 2 Pastor Jim begins our final look at the first part of the book of Genesis today, in chapter eleven. It’s here we see a familiar scene – the building of the tower of Babel. The world was a very different place back then, of course, but in some ways, things haven’t changed much. You’ll see what I mean as pastor Jim takes us through today’s study. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41856720

The Tower of Babel part 1 06/30/2026

The Tower of Babel part 1 We've been studying the book of Genesis and it wasn’t long after the flood that men stopped making themselves available to God and began to pursue their own agenda. What a shame to use what God so graciously gives for our own selfish purposes. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41856705

Genesis 10 06/26/2026

Genesis 10 Pastor Jim Jarrett is nearing the conclusion of an exciting study in Genesis and he’s currently recalling what happened when God judged the world with a flood. It’s time to repopulate the world and today we will learn who our forefathers were. Amazing to think about it isn’t it – the entire would population was wiped out – except for a handful of people in the Ark. Join Pastor Jim now in the tenth chapter of the book of Genesis with the clans of Noah. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41817715

Noah and the Flood Part 5b 06/26/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 5b It wasn’t too long ago that we received a stellar report about the lifestyle of Noah. He was described as a righteous man who walked with God, but even Noah made his fair share of mistakes. Noah is about to stumble into sin, and to make matters worse- his son repeats the matter in an ungodly fashion. Here’s Jim to remind us that we should never expect to be sinless – but we should always strive to sin less. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41817470

Noah and the Flood Part 5c 06/26/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 5c The Bible gives us plenty of examples of good and godly men and women who stumbled into sin. Whether it was King David, the apostle Peter, or as we’ll see today, Noah. If we’re wise, we’ll learn from their mistakes and not repeat them. Right after a great victory, and spiritual blessing, Noah fell into sin. And that can so easily happen to us! /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41817580

Noah and the Flood Part 5a 06/26/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 5a God has just judged the world through a flood, and after a little over a year in the Ark, it’s time for Noah and his family to step onto dry land. And on the heels of judgment comes good news - that God is going to bless Noah and his family. We’ll hear what He has to say momentarily. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41817360

Noah and the Flood Part 4b 06/26/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 4b For quite a few weeks now we’ve been studying the early chapters of Genesis. In chapter eight, we get a glimpse at life after the flood. Noah, his family and the animals are about to step onto dry land after being in the Ark for just about a year. Pastor Jim Jarrett says it was a totally different world and environment they stepped into. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41817125

Noah and the Flood Part 4a 06/19/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 4a Today pastor Jim Jarrett resumes his study of Genesis. We’ll be studying chapter eight during today’s program. Noah, his family, and the animals have been cooped up in the ark for just over a year. The rain has stopped, the waters are receding, and it’s time to step out on dry land. That’s where we’ll pick the story up today. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41642780

Noah and the Flood Part 3b 06/18/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 3b Pastor Jim Jarrett is taking us through the book of Genesis where the flood takes a major role in shaping how the earth currently looks. The water came forth from below as well as from above and everything was destroyed. It’s important to note that rain was a new phenomenon - it had never happened before! /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41642770

Noah and the Flood Part 3a 06/17/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 3a Today we take you to Genesis seven, where the Lord is about to send a worldwide flood to judge the earth. But before He does He makes sure His faithful servant Noah, and his family are safe. We’ll hear God’s final words of instruction to Noah in just a second. And pastor Jim reminds us God has made a way of escape from the coming judgment for us too, and that’s in His Son Jesus Christ. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41642765

Noah and the Flood Part 2b 06/16/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 2b Pastor Jim Jarrett is offering a detailed study of the early part of Genesis, and in chapter six we read of the familiar story of the flood. Evil was continuous and extreme, so God stepped in and brought worldwide judgment. Obviously we’re living in a day much like what we read about in Genesis six, but is there any hope for us? /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41642755

Noah and the Flood Part 2a 06/15/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 2a As we open our Bibles to Genesis six, the world is a mess at this particular time... and God is about to release His judgment through a worldwide flood. How did it get to this point, and could judgment be coming soon to the earth again? Let’s open the God’s Word for answers and go now to pastor Jim Jarrett for today’s study. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41642740

Noah and the Flood Part 1b 06/12/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 1b Today on Growing in the Word pastor Jim Jarrett points to Genesis chapter six and encourages us to follow in Noah’s footsteps. He lived in a world much like our own, but stood out as a faithful follower of Christ. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41568000

Noah and the Flood Part 1a 06/11/2026

Noah and the Flood Part 1a Pastor Jim Jarrett will show us why God chose to judge the earth through a worldwide flood. Genesis chapter six is the place to be, so let’s find our place there now as we turn things over to Jim and our first look at Noah and the flood. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41567985

The Generations of Adam part 3 06/10/2026

The Generations of Adam part 3 Maybe 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. /episode/index/show/growingintheword/id/41567965
