Fa Church

Today we heard a powerful message from Cody Matchett about how the Apostle Paul, in scripture, writes to the Colossians correcting any corruption and distortions they have taken on as truth. They have been enslaved by empty philosophies and human-funded traditions driven by dark spiritual forces. They were under immense pressure to disassociate with their faith and accommodate to the cultural norms. They were surrounded by false prophets, heretics, and idols, all seeking worship. Unfortunately, the times in Colosse are not so different than this cultural moment in Calgary of 2022. We can so often be taken captive by politics, fame, social media, justice-seeking, economic status, etc. So, how do we combat this? Paul & Cody encourage us to remain rooted with deep biblical practices, be built up by making careful choices, and become publicly established in Jesus Christ so the world can see and know the life-transforming message of the gospel! And, above all this - live a life of gratitude and abound in thank
