Why are we still here? Pastor Mike gives a simple answer. God left us here on purpose, to be salt and light and to make a difference. Starting in Matthew 5, he shows the progression: God is light, Jesus is light, and now we are light. He then walks through what light does. It cuts through darkness, guides, reveals truth, and warns of danger ahead. He closes with Paul and Silas praising God at midnight in a Philippian jail. Their praise put a light in front of a jailer who asked, “What must I do to be saved?” This is a call for every believer, not just the clergy, to let their light shine. Part 2 next week covers why people don’t share their faith. Watch it any time.

Colossians part 9: Forgiven to Forgive
In Part IX of our Colossians series, Pastor Scott returns to Colossians 3:13, “as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive,” and walks us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18. A servant is forgiven a debt he could never repay, then refuses to show even a fraction of that mercy to someone who owes him a little. Pastor Scott challenges us to see ourselves in the story, to pray David’s humble prayer from Psalm 139, “Search me, O God,” and to rest in how God sees us in Christ: forgiven, holy, and righteous. Mercy received is meant to become mercy given.

Colossians part 8: rights and responsibilities
What does it look like to live as a new creation at home, at work, and in the church? In Part 8 of our Colossians series, Pastor Scott walks through Colossians 3:12–4:1. Put on compassion, kindness, humility, and patience, and above all, put on love. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Then Paul turns to our closest relationships, husbands and wives, parents and children, workers and bosses, and gives each person their own assignment. None of them is “make the other person do theirs.” In Christ we have rights and privileges, and we also have duties and responsibilities because of who we are in Him. Come see how focusing on the second makes the first come more naturally.
