Where are you irreplaceable? Yes, someone could take your place, but nobody should ever have to take your place. If someone does, there will be heartache and heartbreak. We begin our new series by talking about the irreplaceable role of a parent as a spiritual leader. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

Under 18: Parents as Spiritual Leaders

How do you end a series on Colossians? We finish by discussing the letter delivered with it: Philemon. This is a deeply personal letter that involves Biblical justice and gives us guidance for how to navigate situations that we may want to avoid. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

A Blueprint for Living: An Escaped Slave, Paul, and His Former Master

Steve and Kellie Knapp serve as counselors in our community, and they share insights on how we can navigate mental and emotional health with all the hits we have taken over the past one and half years. We want you to know that Jesus cares about our mental and emotional health, so it’s vital for the church to have this conversation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

Mental and Emotional Health

Many Jesus followers know that we should pray and tell people about Jesus, but it’s hard to actually do it. In Colossians 4:2-6, Paul explains how we can be people of prayer and people who talk to others about Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

A Blueprint for Living: How to Pray and Talk About Jesus

For some reason, our homes are one of, if not the hardest arenas to live out our faith in Jesus. Today, we dive into that difficulty by discussing Colossians 3 and Ephesians 5. Here, Paul casts a vision for how following Jesus transforms our homes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

A Blueprint for Living: Jesus and My Home Life

Are you a list person? Some of us love lists, and others don’t like them. Either way, lists can be dangerous when it comes to faith in Jesus. We can view lists to check as a way to connect with God, but ultimately all that effort will fail. Many of us have experienced people using lists to criticize others who don’t keep their favorite parts of the list. Since lists are danger, why does Paul use them, especially in Colossians 3:5-17? We dive into the purpose of his list and how Paul’s writings can impact our everyday lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

Embracing the Journey: Colossians and Our Everyday Lives

Craig Groeschel, in his latest book, Winning the War In Your Mind, says that our lives are moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. Paul echoes that in Colossians 2:8 – 3:4 as he dives into how to not be distracted or deceived in our thought life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

Embracing the Journey: How God’s Word is Intersecting My Life

Many of us love behind the scenes interviews of successful people where they share their motivations. We get a similar feel today in our section of Colossians, as Paul, the author, lets us know his motivations and even what fuels him. Often hearing about someone else’s motivation helps us evaluate what drives us, and we pray that happens for all of us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

Embracing the Journey: Journey through Colossians

t’s easy to coast into summer needing a break from spring but then never stop coasting. As a result, summer can be a season of drifting, but what if we intentionally chose a summer culture? Culture is a way of life that includes values and perspectives, so let’s be intentional about what guides our way of life during this two-month window that we will never get back. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/apublicchurch/message

Intersections: A Summer Culture Experiment
