Whether you are a lifelong member or a newcomer, when you come through the doors of Good Shepherd Church our prayer is that you are made to feel like family. As forgiven people, living in the grace of God, we want more and more people to experience the joy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We hope to see you this Sunday!
As the Apostle Paul continues in his warning against the "Colossian Heresy", he writes one of the most theologically rich and Christologically dense descriptions of Jesus in all of the Bible. And through these amazing words, we not only get a crystal clear picture of who Christ is, but we also get a crystal clear picture of who we are without him. Come and see the image of the invisible God!
This Sunday we enter into the third of Paul's prison letters - the book of Colossians. And as we read this letter to the church in Colossae, it becomes clear that Paul is writing it because false teaching was knocking at their door. So, in the next few weeks, come and hear Paul proclaim and defend both the truth of the Gospel and the supremacy of Christ. It is some powerful good news!
As we get to the last section in the book of Philippians, we come across one of the most well-known, often-quoted verses in the whole Bible. However, as we see it in its context, we find that it doesn't say what we often believe it says. We see that we've often been applying it incorrectly. Come join us this Sunday as we finish Paul's letter, and see that the news he brings is much better for us in this world we actually live in.
