ALWAYS JESUS: For New Life

First Burleson — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 15:14:50 -0600

In this week's message, For New Life, Pastor Chris continues our Always Jesus series through Colossians 3:1–10 as Paul shows what happens when Jesus truly moves in. Because we’ve been raised with Christ, our relationship is changed—and that change reshapes our mindset and our daily walk. In this message, Chris Wigley calls us to set our hearts and minds on things above and to live out our new identity by putting to death what belongs to the old life and putting on the new self. This passage reminds us that the gospel doesn’t just forgive us—it transforms us, giving us a new way to think, a new way to live, and a new life in Christ.

ALWAYS JESUS: For True Freedom

First Burleson — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 08:32:40 -0600

In this week's message, For True Freedom, Pastor Chris continues our Always Jesus series through Colossians 2:16–23 as Paul warns the church about spiritual “ditches” that can pull believers away from Christ. This passage exposes the captivity of legalism, mysticism, and self-made religion—and points us back to the only place real freedom is found: Jesus. As we remember the gospel, find our satisfaction in Christ, and trade performance for presence, we learn to walk in the light burden and steady joy Jesus offers. True freedom isn’t found in doing more, feeling more, or denying more—it’s found in knowing Him more.

ALWAYS JESUS: For a New Walk

First Burleson — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 08:40:00 -0600

This message reminds us that spiritual growth doesn’t come from adding rules, rituals, or philosophies—it comes from walking daily in Christ. As Paul teaches, when we are rooted, built up, and established in Jesus, we experience real life and true freedom. In a world full of distractions and empty promises, this passage points us back to the one place life is found: Jesus alone.

In week three of our Always Jesus series, Chris Wigley preaches Because He’s Supreme from Colossians 1:15–23, giving us a clearer picture of who Jesus truly is. In one of Scripture’s richest portraits of Christ, Paul magnifies Jesus as God, Creator, Sustainer, and Savior—Lord over all creation and Lord over our re-creation. This passage calls us to put Jesus first in everything and to rest in the truth that the One who holds the universe together can hold our lives together, too. As we continue in faith, stable and steadfast, we’re reminded why the Christian life is always centered on one reality: Jesus is supreme.

ALWAYS JESUS: Prayer for Spiritual Growth

First Burleson — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 13:31:56 -0600

In this week’s message from Colossians 1:9–14, we continue our Always Jesus series with a focus on Paul’s prayer for spiritual growth. Chris Wigley walks us through a powerful prayer that reveals God’s desire for every believer to grow in spiritual vision, spiritual vitality, and spiritual victory. From knowing God’s will, to walking in a way that pleases Him, to living in the freedom Christ has secured, this passage reminds us that real growth is not about trying harder—it’s about going deeper with Jesus. As we fix our eyes on Him, we discover that everything we need for life and godliness is found in Christ alone. Always. Only. Jesus.

ALWAYS JESUS: Always Only Jesus

First Burleson — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 15:00:47 -0600

In Sunday’s message from Colossians 1:1–9, Lead Pastor Chris Wigley launched our new series Always Jesus with a sermon titled Always, Only Jesus. As we step into a new year, we’re reminded that true spiritual growth doesn’t come from adding something to Jesus, but from going deeper in Him. Paul’s words to the church in Colossae show us that a growing faith is marked by trust in Christ, love for the church, a hope rooted in eternity, and a life that bears fruit. This message calls us to center every part of our lives—and our church—on one unchanging truth: it’s always, only Jesus.
