Things Above

Nov 23, 2025    Jason Stockton

Pastor Jason explores Colossians 3:1-4, challenging us to "seek the things that are above" rather than being consumed by earthly concerns. Pastor Jason used the powerful illustration of a sniper aiming far above a distant target to hit it accurately—reminding us that we must aim at what we cannot see (God's kingdom) to hit what truly matters in life. Just as a bullet drops over distance, our natural tendency is to focus on immediate, visible concerns. However, God's kingdom operates differently: to be first, we must be last; to lead, we must follow; to receive, we must give. This message calls us to examine whether Christ is merely part of our lives or truly is our life, and to intentionally set our minds on eternal things rather than allowing earthly concerns to dominate our thoughts.
