Dr. Daniel Davey, President of VBTS, preaches on Revelation 2:1-7.

Spiritual disciplines are not a checklist of things we ought to do to be good Christians. They are more like rhythms of grace that lead us deeper into the fellowship and intimate relationship we have with Christ! In this introductory message to this new sermon series, we look at how as we walk with Jesus, He will lead us into rhythms of grace that …

Friends that offend, you need them. God isn't calling us to be offensive, but He is calling us to care and yes, some will be offended by that concern. We won't stay the course in following Jesus if we don't have people in our lives who care enough to ask. Are you building those kinds of relationships, giving that kind of permission?…

Pastor Brent Belford preaches on Romans 12:13-21.

By Dr. Joey Anthony

Everyone has a worldview, a way of looking at and interpreting the world. Some of it is made up of who we are and what we do: male, American, pastor. Much of it is made up of what we trustingly listen to: news, Tik Tok, podcasts, friends. It all shapes how we look at relationships, money, God, sex and sexuality, government, people, people groups, r…

Many of us experience unrest in our lives from physical exhaustion, sin struggles, relational conflict, and just the general dissatisfaction and emptiness we sometimes feel. But the Bible tells us that there is a Sabbath-rest for the people of God. Jesus is our rest, and as we keep our eyes fixed on Him, we will experience His rest no matter what s…

Pastor Brent Belford preaches on Romans 12:9-12.

By Dr. Joey Anthony

When people don’t like someone, they tend to only hear and see what confirms their dislike. It is an uphill battle to change that mind. Good will be ignored. Motives will be questioned. The culture is saying we are a place of hate, we are a people against. I hope we never show them hate, and while there are things God calls us to be against, He rea…

Does 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 teach that people who commit certain sins won't go to heaven? Does it teach that those who live in persistent sin are not true Christians? No, that's not what that verse means. Let's dive into the context and see what this passage really means and how it applies to us today. CONNECT WITH US Are you new to Colonial Hills? G…

What do we do when love is defined as smiling at evil? What do we do when hate is saying anything is wrong? What do we do when an America many of us love seems to be passing into the night? What do we do? I would say we have to answer these questions biblically and strategically, as if the church would even agree on what biblically and strategicall…

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Andy Knupp teaches on James 1:21-25.

Jesus' model of discipleship during His earthly ministry was relational discipleship, and He expresses His life through us, He will lead us into relational discipleship in our own lives as well. Through authentic, Spirit-led relationships, we can know others and be truly known by them as we participate in the "one-anothers" of Scripture together. C…

I am excited today to begin a 13-message series on 1 and 2 Thessalonians. In a world gone crazy we get clear direction from Thessalonians of what to do in real time. This isn’t advice to consider if this ever happens, but directives in the heat of battle. Thessalonians is going to take the complexity of our time and say, 'Keep it simple, stupid.' O…

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Dakota Bowley teaches on Ephesians 1:3-14.

Deny yourself? Die to self? Must I decrease? Is this the way to live the Christian life? No, the New Testament writers of Scripture tell us that your old self already died and that you've become a new creation in Christ. If you are already dead and have already become a new self in Christ, then why would you need to die to self? In Christ, you are …

Pastor Ben Kilcup preaches 1 Peter 4:7-19.

During this series we have said over and over to follow Jesus means you are making followers of Jesus. If you are not making followers, you’re not following. Why does He need me making His followers? The last time I preached on July 7 we saw God has a process from a person coming to Christ to growing in Christ to being rewarded in Christ that invol…

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Andrew Godden teaches on 1 Corinthians 1:18-25.

Some will use Malachi 3:8-10 to say that tithing is commanded for all people. They'll teach that God will bless you with more if you are faithful to tithe. But that is not what that verse means. This passage is addressed to the nation of Israel under the Old Covenant. As New Covenant believers, we give from our hearts which is a work of God's grace…

Dr. Mike Windsor preaches on 1 Peter 4:1-6.

By Dr. Joey Anthony

Order your life so that you are walking with Christ. Have the accountability and community that will encourage you to abide with him. Have rhythms of life that allow for you to be with God so much that it fuels your doing for God. When we understand the love of God we will love others. View hospitality as a primary work for evangelism and disciplin…

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Scott Rosen teaches on Ecclesiastes 7:1-7.

Some will tell you that if you are not fully committed to following Jesus then you should be worried about standing before Jesus one day and hear Him say, "Depart from me, for I never knew you." But that is not what that verse means. If you've received salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone then you have eternal security. Matt…

We want to be a church of people growing in relationship with Jesus and helping others to do the same. What roles do church leaders and church members play in the process?By Rev. Shay Osborne

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Caleb Lynch teaches on Exodus 14:1-31.

Sometimes Jeremiah 29:11 is used to say that it is God’s will for every believer to become whole, healthy, and successful in every area of life. That is not what that verse means. God does not promise a life of prosperity in every area of life. Let's dive into the context of Jeremiah 29:11 and talk about what it really means and how it applies to o…

Dr. Daniel Davey, President of VBTS, preaches on 1 Peter 3:1-12.

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Pete Schrader teaches on Titus 2:11-14.

In Mark 1:15, Jesus says to repent (metanoia) and believe the good news. Some will say that means salvation is a 2-step process of repenting of your sins and believing in Jesus to be saved, but that is not what that verse means. Metanoia means to change your mind. Jesus was saying to change your mind about what you were believing about the Messiah …

If you attend church, you might assume it's obvious that you follow Jesus. But what if someone challenged you to prove it? What would you say or do? Is there enough evidence to prove to yourself and others that you are a follower of Jesus?By Rev. Jerry Witte

Wednesday Night Summer Bible Series, Jonathan Bean teaches on Matthew 6:5-15.

Many people say that because Jesus didn't come to abolish the law that this means we still live by the law today, but that is not what that verse means! Jesus came to fulfill the law, and because He has fulfilled the Law, we live by the Spirit and not by the law as New Covenant believers today. Matthew 5:17... “Do not think that I have come to abol…
