Welcome
“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."

Aug 3, 2025 - Part 3 of a 4 part series on Colossians, called "Living Whole"
This week: Sustained By Grace (Colossians 2:6-19, Exodus 16:1-18)
What really sustains us when life feels empty, overwhelming, or uncertain? In this week’s message, “Sustained by Grace,” we explore Paul’s words to the Colossians, reminding them—and us—that we are nourished not by our own effort, but by the living Christ. When we’re tempted to reach for rituals, rules, or quick-fix spiritual “energy drinks,” Paul calls us back to the source. Christ isn’t just how we begin—he’s the one who carries us, fills us, and sustains us day by day.
Paired with the story of manna in the wilderness from Exodus 16, this message invites us to stop hoarding and striving, and to start trusting the grace that meets us right where we are. We’ll unpack what it means to feast on the real thing—not shadows—and how daily dependence on Christ frees us from the pressure to hustle for worth or security. If you’re feeling drained, disoriented, or done, this message is for you. Come be reminded: Christ is enough, and grace is what carries you.
