Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! We're continuing our study of Paul's letter to the church in Colossae, looking in the first chapter at verses 15-23. In these brief verses, Paul puts forward that in God through Jesus Christ, we have been created, redeemed from our sinfulness, and restored in our relationship to God.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today we're beginning a series based on the book of Colossians, written by Paul when he was imprisoned in Rome. In this letter, Paul guides the church in Colossae to abandon false teaching and embrace the simple, profound truth of the Gospel. Paster Marcio leads us to consider three seeds of transformation that Paul presents: faith, hope, and love.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service. We're wrapping up the "God's Story, Your Story" series with the divine gift of restoration. Jesus' ministry was filled with acts of restoration in the healing of broken bodies, the renewal of broken souls, and the demonstration that God is with us, even in turning death into everlasting life.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service AND our church's seventh birthday! Pastor Chris continues our series "God's Story, Your Story" by guiding us to understand the profound grace in God's offer of redemption to us. Through sin in the Garden of Eden, death came into our world and enslaved us. We are not capable of buying our release from death, but Jesus Christ has redeemed each of us from death. The Hebrew word we translate as "redemption" literally translates as "to buy back." In this redemption, we receive forgiveness for our sins, restoration of our relationship with God, and security in our future after this earthly life.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor David Loveless starts with this question: "When is the last time your day went exactly as you planned?" As he leads us through Psalm 118, we see where God instructs us to live in the present with the grace God provides for this day. In stories of Jesus' ministry we see how Jesus engaged with people in the present, not allowing concerns for the future or frustrations in the past distract from the right actions to take in the moment. Pastor David led the congregation in this prayer about living in one day's grace:
"Lord, I welcome You and this day. I welcome its joys and its struggles. I trust You are using it all to fill me, to form me, and to flow through me. I let go of my need to control this day and open my heart to Your presence that's in it. Teach me to live with You, inside one day's grace, and not miss any of the gifts. Amen."

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today, Pastor Chris is guiding us into the difficult topic of evil and suffering in our world. He verbalizes the question we all have asked at some time, "If God is loving, powerful, and aware, why does evil exist?" To explore this question, Pastor Chris teaches from the first chapters in Genesis and the temptation for Adam and Eve -- and us -- to become like God rather than to be who God created us to be.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today, we're starting a new series called "God's Story, Your Story" to look at God's big dream for humanity and our parts in it. Pastor Chris is starting in Genesis 1 and exploring what it means to us that we are each made by God, and made in our uniqueness to find our true purpose in God.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Sócrates finishes our series titled "Witness" with a look at where Horizon West Church is serving others and spreading the Good News.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Sócrates continues our series "Witness" in today's service with a focus on the phrase "in Judea and Samaria" in Acts 1:8. He shares with us the historical and social context that Jesus' disciples would have understood when they received this instruction. As we learn how harshly those in Judea felt about those in Samaria, we see that same temptation in our age to ignore and reject "those" people. Pastor Sócrates rephrases Jesus' instructions for us: to go share the good news with those people, and to trust the promise of Jesus that we'll be blown away by what He will do.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris continues the series based on Acts 1:8 with a careful look at how we are to share our faith "in Jerusalem." For Jesus' disciples, the city of Jerusalem meant the center of the Jewish faith, home to the Temple and the Ark of the Covenant. This is not the case for the Christian faith. As Pastor Chris states, "the center of God's plan is not a place called Jerusalem but a person named Jesus." This Jesus instructed His disciples to start their witnessing where they already were, interacting with the people they already knew. Like the saintly instruction states, "bloom where you're planted."

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris is starting a new series based on Jesus' instruction to us in Acts 1:8 to be His witnesses. In today's message, we face up to the reality that what Jesus calls us to do is humanly impossible. We need the power of the Holy Spirit, living in us and working through us. As we share our stories of how God has changed us, the Spirit works to transform the hearts and minds who hear us.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris leads us to review the work of the apostle Andrew from the brief accounts of him in the Gospels. What we see Andrew doing, and what we also can do, is point people to Jesus, notice who is around us, and start with those closest to us. In wherever we go, and with whoever we meet, we can share God's love in us with others, pointing them to Jesus.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris concludes our Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 51. This psalm marked the time in King David's life that he was confronted with his sin and repented, and his prayer to God in this psalm guides us when we find that we need to repent. David's prayer expressed his confidence in God's mercy for us, his honesty about his own sin, his receptivity to change as God led, his vision for how God could use him, and an understanding of God's heart.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Our guest speaker today is Holly Rockefeller, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a member of Horizon West Church. Holly shares with us God's love letter to us given in Psalm 139. We read in these passages that God knows us better than anyone else, and God loves us more than anyone else. We see that God has a purpose for each of us, and God is always with us. God is eager to silence the lies that seek to tear us down so that we can experience the truth of God's love for and acceptance of us to the fullest.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Our guest preacher this morning, Korey Deck, pastors Living Springs Church in DeBary, and previously was the Online Campus pastor for First Baptist Orlando. 
Pastor Korey selects verse 105 from the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119 for our study this morning: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." In the context of the "decision fatigue" that is prevalent in our fast-moving, complicated society, this verse, as well as Paul's farewell in Ephesus recorded in Acts 20, is a life-saver. As Pastor Korey explains, God promises to give us enough light for our next steps in the difficulties and decisions we face. God chooses not to show us our entire path, instead leading us to grow in faith by trusting for each day's steps. Our steps will not always be easy, and we will encounter problems and resistance, but God will be with us always.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Our guest preacher this morning, Marcio Nuncaironi, shares his personal story with Psalm 19. At a time in his life where he needed God's leadership, Psalm 19 guided him to hear from God through His creation, His Word, and His Spirit. Pastor Marcio teaches us this same guideline to improving our communication and relationship with God.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Our guest preacher this morning is Stefen Gage from No Walls Church. His message is on Psalm 91, a psalm written by Moses as he and the descendants of Abraham entered the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land. Just like the Israelites, God offers us a secret place: available to all who seek, a place where we are invited to dwell, a place with divine benefits, and a place where God covers us when we face the battles in our life.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today's worship service wraps up this week of Vacation Bible School. The theme of this VBS has been Live It Out, with each day having a particular emphasis in how we are to live as followers of Christ. Pastor Chris teaches us today that the early church, known as Followers of the Way, demonstrated remarkable devotion to God and radical generosity to all others, so that God's love was seen and experienced.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! We find great wisdom in how to live today in the ancient words of Psalm 27. Pastor Chris explains this timelessness, saying "the Psalms show us the touch point between the mess of life and the majesty of God." In this psalm, David shows us what it means to be a "man after God's own heart." David placed his unwavering confidence in God, kept his focus on God, and expressed his worship of God in any location and any situation. Pastor Chris extends the invitation to us in our times of struggle to place our confidence in Jesus, who told us in John 16:22 to "take heart, because I have overcome the world."

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today's psalmist, who wrote Psalm 10, cried "why?" in an honest expression of pain and a sincere trust that God would answer. On this Father's Day Sunday, we recognize two strong temptations that men experience in our society as it relates to emotions: the "loose cannon" that inflicts emotional pain on others, and the "locked vault" that inflicts emotional pain on himself. Pastor Chris teaches us the invitation in this psalm, and across the collection of psalms, to a healthier, happier, and more godly way to manage our emotions.
