As Americans, we swim in a pluralistic culture. Our neighbors, co-workers and family all carry around widely-varying ideas about where our nation should be heading and the role God should play (if any) in their lives. It’s a hodge-pod out there. And the chaos seems to be increasing.
The first century culture that Paul the apostle lived in was very similar to ours. The Romans had conquered vast stretches of territory and incorporated numerous nations and tribes into the Empire, each with its own religious views. These various theological perspectives created a huge salad. No specific view was considered pre-eminent (except, of course, for Emperor-worship). One was free to pick and choose, cafeteria style.
Jesus came into this maelstrom, claiming to be the ONLY pathway to God. He didn’t mince any words; He didn’t try to fit in, and it got him crucified. Jesus didn’t pick the easy path.
This Sunday, we’re starting a new summer sermon series focusing on the New Testament book of Colossians. Some of the first century believers in Colossae were apparently being tempted to water down Jesus’ message; to make Him just one of a pantheon of religious thinkers. Paul writes to them to correct this error, and his Spirit-inspired letter is both profound and speaks directly to our own American situation.
As we seek to follow Jesus, we need the support of our fellow travelers. Together, we can encourage each other, discern the Spirit’s whispers, and feel His love flooding our hearts. Come join together with fellow-travelers this Sunday at Trinity Downtown as we begin our study of Colossians.
Come learn how placing your distractions, hopes, fears, uncertainties and doubts in the hands of the Lord can lessen our stress load and bring deep transformation in our hearts. Celebrate with us the depth of Jesus’ love for us and find out how you can live a life of significance, filled with meaning. Discover how following Jesus can help you and your family navigate around the minefields of life. I promise you it will make a tremendous difference in your life.
