Guest Teacher Jay Reynardus · Colossians 1:1-14 · Sunday, July 12, 2026
Christchurch Miami opens a brand-new series — GREATER THAN, a study through Colossians — with guest teacher Jay Reynardus, who led Bible Study Fellowship in Miami for over 20 years. He begins exactly where Paul begins: by taking our eyes off the little man or woman in the mirror and fixing them on Christ. Jay is refreshingly honest about himself — the longer he walks with the Lord, the more he sees his own faithlessness and misplaced hopes: 'Apart from God reaching in and pulling me out, I would be utterly lost.' From verses 3–8, Paul names the three marks of everyone God has claimed — faith, hope, and love — and every one of them is a gift. 'If we have faith, it's because of God. If we have love, it's because of God. If we have a living hope, it's because of God.' Then in verses 9–14 Paul prays, packing the whole rescue into a handful of past-tense verbs: God has qualified you, delivered you from the domain of darkness, transferred you into the kingdom of His Son, redeemed you, and forgiven you. When we finally see all He has done, the little loves and little hopes of this world are revealed for what they are. As Jay put it: 'He reached into the darkness where you lived and pulled you out when you were His enemy.' It's Him. It's always Him. It will always be Him.

Last Week's Pulse
▸
Per-sermon lifetime views by Sunday across all five surfaces — each point is one sermon (date · speaker). YouTube = views; Subsplash = plays. Lifetime totals, not weekly deltas. The gold band (0–50) is shown at 2× vertical scale so the low-volume surfaces have room for detail; above the dotted line the scale returns to normal (1:1).
† Jul 12 = live viewing only (newest sermon; on-demand views still accruing).
What Worked / What to Watch
▸
🟢 🌐 The website was the bright spot. Users ticked up (254 → 258) and page views climbed (607 → 669) even as sessions eased — fewer but stickier visits. Engagement rose to a strong 65.0% (from 62.8%). Healthy, resilient traffic through a mid-summer week.
🟢 👥 YouTube kept adding subscribers. Even on a normalizing week for views, the channel gained ground to reach 349 all-time (from 343). The audience is still growing week over week.
🟢 ⚡ Four Shorts posted — on both surfaces. Jul 6–9 the scheduler pushed four vertical clips to YouTube Shorts alongside their IG Stories — the standard weekly cadence after the prior week's seven-clip July-4 push.
🟢 🇪🇸 Spanish stayed same-day. Sermon, page, study guide, and the grupos leader index continue to publish the same day as English.
🟡 📺 YouTube pulled back off the July-4 breakout. Views eased 4,669 → 1,429 and avg-view% halved (26.7% → 12.7%) as the Shorts cadence normalized from seven clips to four. This is a return to a normal week, not a problem — the prior week's holiday + Eternity surge was always going to be hard to repeat. Watch views rebuild as the new Colossians series and its Shorts roll out.
🟡 ✉️ Mailchimp is un-pulled this week. There's no Supermetrics Mailchimp source connected in this workspace, so in-window sends couldn't be measured automatically. Read them by hand from the Mailchimp reports, or reconnect a Supermetrics token so email lands in the auto-pull like YouTube and the website.
