Join us in celebrating the graduates in our Springfield First family! From 8th grade to high school to college and graduate school, we are so proud of all the hard work, growth, and dedication these students have shown.
Help us congratulate these graduates and keep them in your prayers as they step into this next season of life. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for them.
Somewhere along the way, many of us traded a meaningful life for a merely busy life.
But Colossians reminds us that real life is not found in endless striving, proving ourselves, or trying to hold everything together on our own. A meaningful life is found in Christ.

Today we begin A Life that Matters: The Letter to the Colossians.
Join us as we explore how Christ rescues, reconciles, and gives purpose to our lives in a world that often leaves us exhausted and searching for more.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to measure our worth by how much we produce. More work. More hustle. More noise. But Colossians reminds us that a life that matters does not begin with achievement. It begins with grace.
Jesus did not come just to make small improvements to our lives. He came to rescue us from the darkness we cannot escape on our own. Anxiety, shame, bitterness, endless striving. Christ meets us there and offers freedom.
So, what about when it feels like faith stops working? Let’s talk about it in this episode of Bite Size Theology!
