S2026 Ep 45Ep. 45 A Life Of Loyalty (pt 2 of “This Is The Life”)
In the shadow of Judas’ betrayal at the Last Supper, Jesus reveals that true loyalty to Him is not proven by outward claims but by honestly confronting our own capacity for disloyalty, embracing the cross as God’s supreme display of glory, and living out a costly, Christlike love that visibly marks us as His disciples. John 13:21-27,31-35. 3-8-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

John 13:3–10,14–16. 3-1-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

S2026 Ep 42Ep. 42 Faith (pt 5 of Christianese: The Language Of Faith)
What is faith, really? Is it blind belief? Positive thinking? Ignoring doubt? Part 5 of “Christanese: The Language of Faith” looks to Hebrews 11 to identify the true definition of faith. It is more than a religious word; it’s a foundation, a movement, and a way of life shaped by trust in God. Hebrews 11:1-6. 2-15-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com
S2026 Ep 41Ep. 41 Sanctified (pt 4 of Christianese: The Language Of Faith)
