In this episode of Worship Uncoiled's Influencers series from FCC Brazil, Student Minister CJ Muston preaches a powerful message on James 1:19-20: "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to grow angry." Discover why the angry person doesn't produce God's righteousness and practical, Bible-based tools to manage emotions, pause before reacting, name your feelings, use box breathing and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercises, take healthy breaks, and build stronger relationships.

Learn the difference between destructive human anger (rooted in pride and selfishness) and righteous anger that comes from love and justice. CJ equips you with simple tools to become more aware of your emotions, respond in healthy ways, and become the influencer God created you to be.

In Part 2 of the No Substitutes series on Colossians, Senior Minister Dan Stribling unpacks Colossians 1:15-23 and reveals why Jesus has no competition and must be preeminent in every area of your life. Discover Jesus as the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, the sustainer of the universe, the head of the church, and the one who reconciles us through the cross. No substitutes. No rivals. Jesus deserves first place on the podium and throne of your life.

Dan challenges us with practical steps to examine our priorities, remember who we once were, and remain steadfast in the faith so Jesus stays #1. A powerful message from First Christian Church Brazil (FCC Brazil, Indiana) that will help you realign your heart with the supremacy of Christ.

If you’re searching for sermons on the supremacy of Christ, Colossians explained, Jesus first place, putting God first, or Christian living with no substitutes — this is for you.
