An Eye For An Eye?
Riverside Covenant Church -- West Lafayette, IN
Life together.
I have a long list of pastors that I admire, but I have to admit that I admire this pastor for a whole other set of reasons. Enjoy the drama.
Colossians 2:16 – 23
Last week, we studied Col 2:6 – 2:15. Note that 2:16 begins with “Therefore,” linking our verses this week with the prior verses. Let us first review part of last week’s lesson. We saw that Paul was giving the Church at Colosse a warning. Apparently, like many of the early churches, the church in Colosse had individuals whose teachings deviated from the purity of the Gospel as preached by Paul.
Riverside has partnered with Terry and Teresa Allen, pastors of Elim Covenant Church in Elim, Alaska, to help them meet the physical and spiritual needs of their rural Alaska community.
This week I am in Chicago at our denomination’s Midwinter Conference. My roommate is a close friend from seminary and the Worship Director at Cascade Covenant Church in North Bend, Washington.
