About this sermon

This week at Radiant, we’re walking through the book of Colossians with Pastor Aaron as he unpacks what it means to start strong, grow deep, and live grateful. The Christian life isn’t just about beginning well—it’s about continuing with endurance and living every day rooted in Christ. In this message, Pastor Aaron shares how to: take your first steps of faith with boldness, grow in spiritual maturity through God’s Word, and cultivate a heart of gratitude in every season.
