A Transformed Life - Put Off the Old Self

On Sunday Zak led us through Col 3:1-11, which calls us to see that we are truly hidden in Christ, and which challenges us to consider how we can live true to this new reality.

A Transformed Life - A Full Life in Jesus

Today Zak shared from Col 2:6-23, and explored what the promise of life in all its fullness actually looks like. Zak reminds us that we find a full life not by the means the world offers - experiences and unrestricted freedom- instead we find a full life when we seek Jesus in each part.

A Transformed Life - Christ in our Suffering

This is week 3 of our series - sadly our recording from week 2 failed, apologies to not be able to share Ian's message with you. This week we reflected on Col 1:24-29, exploring how Paul comes to find God's presence and leading in his suffering, and how we too can know God with us in the challenges we face. Christ in all and Christ is in all Zak shared a video as part of this, which you can watch here: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DXMtZrRsrrJ/ [https://www.instagram.com/reels/DXMtZrRsrrJ/]

A Transformed Life - New Life is Springing Up!

Zak introduced our sermon series reading through the book of Colossians on Sunday. We reflected on the big picture of this letter and Col 1:1-14 which gives us the evidence of faith in the life of a community: Radical Hope in a hopeless world Sacrificial Love for one another Faith in both the truth of the gospel and a personal trust in Jesus. And we learn of the benefits of these characteristics at work in a community. As we pursue God, he continues to meet with us and He strengthens us so that we can face the impossible and still hold onto Him.

Part of the Family - Serving

Zak shared a standalone message, reflecting on some of what it looks like to commit to be part of the PCF church family. We reflecting on 1 Corinthians 12 and the role of serving in the life of the church, equipped and led by the Holy Spirit for the flourishing of our church community and for our own growth.
