Paul wrote this letter around 60 AD to a young church in Colossae, a city buzzing with ideas—Greek philosophy, Jewish rules, pagan mysticism—all trying to pull believers away from Jesus. Sounds a lot like today, doesn’t it? Social media, self-help trends, and cultural voices can drown out the truth. But Paul says, “...2025-07-2621 min

Serving Jesus ChristMay 25, 2025 Sermon - God’s Call – Our ResponseThis Sunday's Inspirational Message is: God's Call - Our Response Acts 16:9-15 is a beautiful picture of how God works. He called Paul to Macedonia, prepared a humble riverside in Philippi, and opened Lydia’s heart to spark a church. That same God is working in Argyle today. He’s calling you to follow, preparing places for you to serve, and opening hearts around you. Here’s the thing: You don’t need to be a missionary like Paul or a businesswoman like Lydia.

The Apostle Paul is writing here from a Roman prison cell, but don’t picture a man who’s given up. This isn’t the voice of someone defeated by the world.

They had followed Jesus, walked with Him, and heard His words. But in this moment, they saw who He truly was—God in glory. So, let me ask you: Do you see Jesus clearly? Some...2025-03-0124 min

Serving Jesus ChristFebruary 16, 2025 Sermon - Two Kinds of Trust – Man or God?This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Two Kinds of Trust – Man or God? Let me start by asking you a question: Where do you place your trust? Think about it—every single day, we trust in something. We trust that our cars will start in the morning. We trust that the chair we sit on won’t collapse. We trust that the banks will keep our money safe and that the government will provide stability. But what happens when these things fail? What happens when the people, systems, and institutions we rely on let us dow...2025-02-1526 min

He’s fishing, working, paying bills—just doing what he’s always done. But then, Jesus steps into his boat. And that one moment changes everything. Peter has a choice to make: 1. Stay in the shallow waters of what’s familiar, or 2. Trust Jesus and step into the deep waters of faith. That’s what I want to talk about today: "A Deeper Call—From Fisherman to Followe...2025-02-0822 min

Maybe you’re a teacher, a prayer warrior, an encourager, or someone who serves quietly behind the scenes. Whatever your role, it matters deeply. Without you, the church is missing something vital.

Rooted in a profound covenantal encounter at Mount Sinai, these commandments are not flexible guidelines but unwavering directives from God Himself.
