More than political…
Some words create division and cause confusion easily.
Here’s two: liberal & conservative.
Rarely do two people mean the same thing when they use these words. …
Watch out for the Umpires!
That’s the gist of what we talked about on Sunday as we explored Colossians 2:16-23. In both verses 16 and 18 we find the warnings, “do not let anyone judge you… and do not let anyone…disqualify you.” The congregation in Colossae had some people who had appointed themselves arbiters of Christian faith and practice.

What a Joke!
In Jesus death and resurrection, God played the biggest joke on the devil, who thought he'd defeated God.
While we may be quick to agree that we are created in God's image, we often don't think of God with a sense of humour.
Images of God often convey a stern, Father who enforces the law, or a mild-mannered Jesus holding lambs. But I think God also likes to laugh. Just think of the platypus!
I pray that as you revel in the good news that Jesus has defeated death and brings new life to dead places you would find a deeper level of joy than you have ever known. I pray that you would be able to picture God as one who likes to laugh. He delights in His creation.
May your week be filled with holy humour.
Your Brother in Christ:
Pastor Nate
