Sermons from Colossians

A Caring Healer and a Faithful Friend

Date: February 23, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

In Luke’s carefully researched Gospel, you encounter not just historical facts, but the compassionate heart of both the physician and the Christ he portrays. Luke presents Jesus as one who cares for the outcast, the sick, and the downtrodden—who notices the overlooked and touches the untouchable—revealing a Savior who heals both bodies and souls. His precise investigation offers more than intellectual certainty; it invites you to witness a Savior who meets you where you are—in your mess, your doubts, your ordinary days. Luke himself had this same compassionate heart, demonstrated by being the only one who stayed with the apostle Paul in prison right up until his execution. Luke’s introduction is not just an opening statement, but a call to be certain that what you believe about Jesus is undeniable truth.

More Than Alive: Finding True Life in Christ

Date: February 9, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

At some point, every person wrestles with life’s deepest questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? What happens when I die? Yet, no amount of self-reflection can uncover these answers. Apart from Christ, we may be physically alive, but we remain spiritually dead—separated from the eternal life only He can give. No amount of education, success, or worldly wisdom can illuminate the darkness of our souls. But in His mercy, Christ came as both life and light—not to merely make us better people, but to restore the very life of God that was lost in Eden. When we receive Him by faith, His light shatters our darkness, leading us into true understanding and the unshakable promise of eternal life.

Undeniable Design: The Fingerprints of Jesus

Date: January 26, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

When you pause to consider the intricate complexity of creation, you’re faced with the reality that every detail, no matter how small, gives evidence of a Designer. From the mathematical precision of the galaxies to the astonishing arrangement of human DNA, creation reveals something far greater than random chance—an intentional, loving intelligence that crafted every molecule with purpose. Yet, the most awe-inspiring truth of all is this: the Creator who spoke stars into existence and orchestrated the dance of electrons stepped into human history, took on flesh, and willingly died for your sins so that you could be forgiven and have eternal life. This revelation doesn’t just shift our perspective; it redefines the very purpose of our existence, anchoring our lives in a hope that stretches far beyond the limits of this world.

Have you ever been prompted by God to do something so daunting or beyond your abilities that it left you paralyzed in fear?

Even though you may feel incapable, don’t spend one more day hesitating! God has promised to empower you for whatever He calls you to do, regardless of the challenges you may face. God gave Ezekiel a task that terrified him, but his response challenges us to find strength in God’s Spirit and trust in His ultimate plan, no matter how overwhelming it may seem.
