This Month's Focus

Fall has arrived and cooler weather is here. As the weather changes, we are reminded that Christ does not. He is the only constant solid ground that we can count on. This month at WBC, we want to once again highlight how we can center ourselves on Christ instead of the ever-changing culture around us. As we seek to center ourselves on Christ, we do not want to become a subculture that has pushed away from the world so far that we live in a bubble. The goal is to create a Christ-centered culture for us and the world around us. This month, you will read some thoughts on how we can better create Christ-centered culture. As the book of Colossians says, Christ is to become first place in everything, and this includes our culture. It is up to us, the body of Christ, to allow Christ to dwell in us through the power of the Holy Spirit to impact our lives and the world around us.


"Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for all things in heaven and on earth were created in him—all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers—all things were created through him and for him. He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him. He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things.

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God. And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

- Colossians 1:15-20 and 3:16-17
