Part 2
<p>Last week we explored how Babel is an archetype of empire in its quest for control. We were challenged: Instead of innovating a tower for the sake of independence and control – we humble ourselves under God, in the pattern of Christ who humbled himself for us (Phil 2:1-11), and see our neighbors as images of God and not plastic objects for exploitation. Rather than communities which devolve into personal spheres of influence marked by pragmatism, efficiency, and management, we’re called to be a spiritual community marked by “unsophisticated helping love” (Bonhoeffer, Life Together). Who can you show “unsophisticated helping love” to this week?</p><p> </p><p>This week, we continue our mini-series on ‘Captivating Stories’, exploring Babel’s quest of “making a name for ourselves” (Gen 11:4). We’ll diagnose the parallels to the celebration of self-autonomy today, why that’s an unfulfilling story, and why the gospel speaks to a better hope we have in God naming us! </p><p><br></p><p>“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)</p>

Part 1
<p>For the next three Sundays we pause in our study of Colossians to dissect a little deeper Paul’s instructions to be on our guard against deceptive philosophies that distort the gospel (Col 2:4). What might be the stories, ideas, and messages of our time that threaten to “take you captive” (Col 2:8) and conform us to a particular pattern (Rom 12:2)? Using the tower of Babel account from Genesis 11:1-9 as our archetypal picture of human rebellion against God, we will name three captivating stories of culture and give a hopeful contrast in the beauty, truth, hope, and sufficiency of Christ and his plan for us. May we all “reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature… no longer infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” (Eph 4:13-15)</p>

The Confidence for Renewal
<p>It's tick season. Ticks are awful parasites that sneak onto us and often carry disease. What do we do? We've been keeping to paths and doing our tick checks.</p><p> </p><p>What do ticks have to do with Colossians? Well, we come to the very heart of Paul's letter (<a href="https://us.list-manage.com/3Lj8BeJINFg?e=d809b29a61&c2id=8be2d478bcc1e75805be66756cf6e291" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Colossians 2:6-15</a>) as he warns the church not to be swayed by fine-sounding arguments that seem good but separate us from Christ. What is Paul's encouragement? Stick to the path and watch out! This is because (and this is where the metaphor breaks down and is insufficient!) we are united to Christ in a glorious, triumphant union.</p><p><br></p><p>Come with open hearts as we allow the gospel to take deeper root in our hearts, transforming our confidence, love, and living!</p>
