Welcome to St. Lukes!


Worship: Sundays, 10:30 a.m.

 

 

Join us as we begin the year by reading through Apostle Paul's Letter to the Colossians. Each week for the next couple of months, we will tackle a portion of this text. Colossians is a unique and interesting book of the Bible. Often Paul wrote to churches that he had planted (i.e. Ephesians, to the church in Ephesus, or Romans to the church in Rome). But Colossians was planted by someone else. It is believed to be an outgrowth of the church in Ephesus, and Epaphras is mentioned as the church leader.

 

Epaphras contacted Paul (who was in prison at the time) because the church was going off the rails. They believed that Jesus wasn’t fully capable of dealing with their sin. They believed He wasn’t unique. They believed that special knowledge and self discipline could earn God's favour. Paul wrote this letter to clear up some of their false beliefs.

 

In a lot of ways, the struggles that the Colossians faced aren’t terribly different than the ones you and I face today. We live in an increasingly pluralistic society. One that would tell us that Jesus is just one path among many. One that would have us relying on our own strength, instead of trusting Him.

 

The letter to the Colossians has much to say to us about who Jesus is, and why we need Him. Come out and spend some time exploring this book with us as 2010 rolls in.

 

We strive to be a community that knows God, loves God, and serves God.
A warm welcome awaits you - please join us!
