At the same time our nation is at a crossroads, so is American Christianity. As American Christians, are we simply Christian by tradition and convenience or do we possess a Christianity that is transforming our lives and communities??? I am deeply troubled by religious trends in America today. Increasingly Americans are avoiding church participation and choosing other philosophies to guide them. Those who do claim to be Christians often do not read the Bible, and do not know what they believe or how it differs from other religions or world views. Worse, many Christians claim no on-going, daily life-changing relationship with Christ Jesus. We need to re-visit what exactly transformed the lives of 1st century Christians.
This week at New Life we kick off a new series entitled, "The Supremacy of Christ" focusing on Paul's letter to the Colossians. Central to Paul's letter is the sufficiency and supremacy of Christ. His letter is full of rich vocabulary demonstrating the supremacy of Christ in our lives as Christians. I hope you will join us @ the ARC on Sundays as we grow in the richness of Christ Jesus. See you @ the ARC on Sunday at 10:15 AM.
