Hidden in Christ: Pray and Proclaim
We have arrived at a pivotal moment in the Christian story – it’s the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as King of Israel, fulfilling prophecy and initiating His week of passion (John 12:13-15). This man, who was also God, willingly entered the gates of a city whose leaders plotted His death. JesusContinueContinue reading “Hidden in Christ: Pray and Proclaim”
Hidden in Christ: New Self
Word-nerd alert! This week we’re following Paul into the second half of Colossians.

Hidden in Christ: A Mystery for the Ages
Some storytellers can spin a tale with just enough facts that the work of fiction takes on a life of its own, and people begin to believe it as truth. Such was the case twenty years ago when Dan Brown’s novel, and subsequent movie, The Da Vinci Code hit the market. Dan wove together aContinueContinue reading “Hidden in Christ: A Mystery for the Ages”
