Do your words reflect your relationship with Jesus? | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene
Do your words reflect your relationship with Jesus? In Week 5 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich closes the series by teaching from Colossians 4 and reminding us that everything is spiritual, including the words we speak, text, post, pray, and use in difficult conversations. This message explores four ways our words can point people to Jesus: pray with your words because they connect you to God, engage with your words because they build bridges to outsiders, encourage with your words because they strengthen others, and honor with your words because they deepen relationships. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 5 Message: Words That Point People to Jesus Date: June 14, 2026 Scripture referenced: Colossians 3:17, Colossians 4:2-18, Luke 6:45 Connect with us: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

The Bible Verse We Want to Fast Forward Through | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene
What does it look like to honor Jesus in marriage, parenting, & work? In Week 4 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich teaches from Colossians 3:18-4:1, a passage that can feel uncomfortable in our culture. Rather than fast forwarding through difficult Scripture, this message invites us to ask what faithful obedience looks like in the roles God has given us. Rich walks through biblical submission, sacrificial love, parenting with a shepherd's heart, work as unto the Lord, and authority as stewardship under Christ. The message also makes an important pastoral distinction: Scripture is never permission for abuse, manipulation, or cruelty. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 4 Message: Honor Jesus in Every Role Date: June 7, 2026 Scripture referenced: Colossians 3:18-4:1 Connect with us: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

What Is Your Heart Set On? | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene
How do you make Jesus your priority when life is full of competing voices, habits, desires, and distractions? Rich Greene continues the Jesus + Nothing series with a message from Colossians 3. Paul moves from belief to behavior: since we have been raised to new life with Christ, we set our hearts on things above, put to death what belongs to the old life, and put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love. This message will help you examine what your life is communicating. If someone looked at your calendar, finances, phone, family, friendships, and daily choices, would they see Jesus as your priority or something else? Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 3 Message: Jesus Is Your Priority Date: May 31, 2026 Scriptures referenced: Colossians 3:1-17; Proverbs 4:23 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

When You Need More Than a Little Jesus | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene
How do you trust God when you are suffering and cannot make sense of what is happening? Pastor Rich continues the Jesus + Nothing series with a message from Colossians 1-2 on the mystery of Christ in us, the hope of glory. Paul writes about suffering while he himself is in prison, reminding us that struggle is not evidence that God has forgotten us. In Christ, suffering can become a place where we experience His presence, depend on His strength, reject counterfeits, and focus again on what is real. This message names the ways we often reach for substitutes when we are hurting: control, blame, escape, positive thinking, busyness, and trying harder. But Jesus is not a supplement to add to our lives. He is everything. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 2 Message: Jesus Is Everything in the Struggle Date: May 24, 2026 Scriptures referenced: John 15:13, Colossians 1:24-29, Colossians 2:1-17 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

Is Jesus Your Foundation or Just Decoration? | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene
What do you really believe about Jesus? In Colossians, Paul reminds the church that the gospel is Jesus plus nothing. Jesus is not simply one part of the Christian life. He is supreme over all creation, the one who rescued us, the one who defines our identity, and the one who holds all things together. Pastor Rich teaches that we often treat faith like a buffet, choosing the parts we want while leaving surrender, patience, generosity, forgiveness, and obedience behind. But if Jesus is truly enough, then every area of life belongs to Him. This message will help you ask whether Jesus is the foundation you are building on, or decoration you add to make life look better. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 1 Message: Jesus Plus Nothing Date: May 17, 2026 Scriptures referenced: Colossians 1:3-6, Colossians 1:9-10, Colossians 1:13-23, Colossians 3:17 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

When Faith Feels Like Walking in Circles | LIFEchurch Sunday Message | Rich Greene
What do you do when what you see is different from what God has said? In this message, Rich continues the Strength and Courage series by looking at Joshua, Jericho, and the kind of faith that pleases God. Faith is not just believing God exists, and it is not treating God like a genie who gives us whatever we want. Faith is trusting God's promise, obeying His plan, and continuing to walk even when the walking does not seem to be working. If you are facing a wall of anxiety, shame, bitterness, loneliness, pride, uncertainty, or discouragement, this message will help you bring that battle back to Jesus and remember that the battle belongs to Him. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Strength and Courage Message: Faith That Keeps Walking Date: May 10, 2026 Scriptures referenced: Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 11:30, Joshua 5:13-15, Joshua 6:1-16 Connect with us: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give
