We conclude our series on “Treasures in Heaven” by considering the value of discomfort, and how it helps us grow and improve.

The Preeminence of Christ
Paul wastes no time getting to the theme of his letter to the Colossians: the Preeminence of Christ. What does it mean to be preeminent, and how is Christ so?

As a Man Thinketh
In considering heavenly values, or “Treasures in Heaven”, we must eventually shift to matters of practicality. How can we change what we value? How can we alter our priorities? It must begin in the mind…

By Faith, Not by Sight
This sermon is composed entirely of scripture, blended together to get a feel for what a letter written to the church today might sound like. The ancient words hold just as much meaning for us as they did for them.

Serving to Save
As we continue our series on “Treasures in Heaven”, we transition from the what to the how. How can we start “laying up” these treasures?
(Preaching on person values. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on June 13, 2021.)
Feeding the Future
The only way to “lay up treasures in heaven” is to take the long view. Nothing in the earthly realm does that quite like investing in children.

Thinking About One Another
As we begin a new study of Colossians, we begin with Paul’s standard opening and greeting to the church, forcing us to ask the question: how should we think about one another?
(Preaching on Colossians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on May 30, 2021.)
A Lasting Legacy
The phrase “treasures in heaven” by its very nature implies something eternal and lasting. How can we use this concept to fill our lives with a purpose that will give us meaning, and build something that we know will outlast us?

Why Do We Sing?
As we consider our worship in song, we examine the motivations behind it. Not in the negative sense (why don’t we use instruments?) but in the positive; why should we sing, and what does it do for us?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on May 16, 2021.)
Cherishing the Church
As we continue to consider “Treasures in Heaven”, we turn out attention to something that Jesus died to build, and we ask: do we value it like he does?
