Raised with Christ: A New Life Unveiled

Oct 6, 2024    Matthew Balentine

Welcome to a transformative journey at the Ninth Avenue Church in Haleyville, Alabama, where we delve into the profound teachings of Colossians chapter 3. As we gather to study the Word of God, we invite you to explore the powerful narrative of spiritual renewal and transformation.


In this compelling episode, we revisit the life-altering moment of being "raised with Christ." Through the lens of baptism, discover how this symbolic act represents a spiritual death and resurrection, a call to shed the old self and embrace a new life hidden with Christ. As Paul guides us through this pivotal chapter, he challenges us to put to death our earthly nature and walk in the fullness of our new identity.


Join us as we unravel the rich tapestry of Christian living, layered with compassion, kindness, humility, and love. Through engaging storytelling, we explore the significance of clothing ourselves in these virtues, crafting a life that reflects the peace and forgiveness that only Christ can offer. Let us journey together to understand how, in every word and deed, we can do it all in the name of Jesus, living a life filled with purpose and gratitude.


Whether you're a longtime believer or new to the faith, this episode promises to inspire and challenge you to live a life set on things above. Embrace the call to become God's favorite, dearly loved, and chosen, as we strive to live in perfect unity with one another.
