Walk This Way

This week's episode of Weekly Service centers on the theme 'Walk This Way,' drawing from Colossians 2:6-7 to emphasize that the Christian life is rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ alone. The pastor begins with a warm welcome, prayer, and announcements about upcoming events including a fundraiser dinner, Love Week, and two upcoming funerals. He shares personal stories of loss and faith, including the recent passing of Al Hatfield and his high school friend J.R. Workman, both of whom accepted Christ before death. The sermon unpacks the biblical call to 'walk in Christ'—to live out one's faith not through legalism, self-help, or new philosophies, but through a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus. Using vivid metaphors—roots, construction, and title deeds—the pastor illustrates how believers are to be grounded in Christ, built up through community and obedience, and established in faith through gratitude. He emphasizes that a life of thanksgiving is both a fruit and a defense against false teachings and spiritual apathy. Practical steps for cultivating this life include daily Bible reading, prayer, reflection, serving others, and maintaining a future-oriented trust in God. The service concludes with communion, a reminder of shared identity in Christ, and a joyful nod to the children’s ministry, where scripture is taught through music and movement.
