All Saints Church

We are looking at a passage that has a lot to say to the church, to those who have made the decision to follow Jesus. It is one of the more "in your face" passages about what it means to be a follower of Jesus and living it out in the world and the church. Paul makes no bones about the issues, the church in Colossae is dealing with forms of worship that are more concerned about style than content, smug and arrogant believers that are more concerned with knowing how to act rather than serving and accepting, and finally , followers that are more concerned about appearance rather than substance.

As a Church, in the city of Seattle, it is an honor to love Jesus, to serve Jesus and represent Jesus to a city that has no idea who he is. We are unashamed of the truth that Jesus is the only way to the Father. To live free means to live like we know HE is the truth, he is the life, he is the way! We are agents of that freedom, we must learn how to walk this path and be free of our bias, our rules, our pride, our style so that Jesus can bring real freedom to all who believe, doubt and seek.

I am so excited for what God wants to do among us, let's be free and liberal with our experiences in Christ and share them with those who don't know. What freedom!

Free to Be
Colossians 2:16-23
