“The Gospel of Hope that Bears Fruit”

Well, this sermon is the first to my congregation as their newly installed Pastor. I decided to make my first series a journey through Paul’s letter to the Colossians, mostly because it focuses on the supremacy of Christ over all things. This message was from Colossians 1:1-8. The theme of this book is one that I’d like to be central to my pastoral ministry, so it’s a good place to start!

“Glory Through Suffering”

Nobody likes suffering. Even Jesus Himself prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that the cup might pass from Him. But in the end, He submitted to the suffering that was before Him and was ultimately raised in glory! My sermon on 2 Timothy 2:8-13 keys in on God’s ability to turn suffering into glory. Thanks be to God!
