    Colossians 4:2 // Prioritizing Prayer

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 2, 2025 48:16


    Prayer is one of the most important spiritual disciplines in a Christian's life. And yet so many of us go through seasons where we neglect praying. As the Apostle Paul nears the end of his letter to the church in Colossae, he calls them to prioritize this all-important practice. He calls them (and us!) to give ourselves to prayer. 

    Colossians 3:22-4:1 // Slavery in Colossae

    Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2025 51:00


    In his letter to the believers at Colossae, the apostle Paul addressed the various relationships that existed in the home. He spoke to husbands and wives. He spoke to fathers and children. And then he spoke to masters and slaves. When we read Paul's words to masters and slaves he doesn't seem to take issue with the institution of slavery that was widespread across the Roman empire in his day. Was Paul pro-slavery? Was he against it? Was he indifferent to it? We unpack those questions and more in this message. 

    Colossians 3:20-21 // Faith of the Family

    Play Episode Listen Later May 23, 2025 46:35


    The Apostle Paul continues his letter to the Colossians by addressing the relationships in families. Paul calls the believing fathers and children to live in God's design for the family, a design that reflects how we relate to God and sees the family as a gospel picture.

    Colossians 3:18-19 // Submit & Love

    Play Episode Listen Later May 13, 2025 51:01


    The Apostle Paul now turns his attention to the foundational relationships in a believer's life - the relationships we experience in the home. And he starts by addressing those who are married. He gives one sentence to wives and one to husbands. Just a few short words, but they will produce a life changing impact upon any marriage if husbands and wives take them to heart.

    Colossians 3:12-17 // Putting On The New

    Play Episode Listen Later May 6, 2025 58:42


    We used to be clothed with certain attitudes in our old life. But now that we are Christians, we are to put on a brand new way to live... we are to put on Christ. And every one in the church is supposed to be wearing the same thing.

    Colossians 3:5-11 // We Don't Do Those Things Anymore

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 28, 2025 59:56


    We've been saved by Jesus from out of our old, dead life. And He's saved us into a brand new life with Him. That means that we have to leave our old ways behind us and we begin to learn how to live as His people now. In this message we will look at some of the old practices in our life that have to go if we are now children of God. 

    Colossians 3:1-4 // He's Alive, Live Like it

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 21, 2025 55:28


    On the first Easter weekend 2000 years ago, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion. The implications of His resurrection are intended to shape the way Christians live their lives today. 

    Colossians 2:20-23 // You're Dead, Live Like it

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 14, 2025 45:40


    When someone places their faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ - they die. Jesus' death becomes their death. And that death they experience should impact the way they live. 

    Colossians 2:18-19 // Jesus is the Source of True Spirituality

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 7, 2025 51:02


    Occult spiritual practices are nothing new. False teachers attempted to sway the church at Colossae into believing that if a person didn't have these kinds of spiritual experiences then that person didn't truly know God. Paul makes quick work of this false teaching by showing the Colossians that the only spirituality that matters is the one that is connected to Jesus. 

    Colossians 2:16-17 // Jesus is the Substance of the Law

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 1, 2025 59:07


    False teachers were telling the Christians at Colossae they had to obey commands in the Old Testament Law in order to be saved. Paul tells the Colossians they have no obligation to uphold the Old Testament Law now that they are in Christ. Why did Paul say that? Because the Law was the shadow that pointed ahead to Jesus. 

    Colossians 2:8-15 // Don't Let Them Take You

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 26, 2025 54:24


    The Apostle Paul warns the Colossians not to be taken captive by the empty deceit and philosophies peddled by false teachers. He reminds the Colossians of the work Jesus did on the cross and the new life that is found in Christ. We were buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through faith in the powerful working of God. Jesus is the fullness of God and we have His fullness filling us.

    Colossians 2:7b // Overflowing With Gratitude

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2025 48:34


    Gratitude is one of the best defenses against false teaching. In this message we learn about the ingredients that make gratitude such a powerful weapon in the Christian life. 

    Colossians 2:6-7 // The Best Defense Is A Good Offense

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 11, 2025 55:34


    The Apostle Paul is aware of the false teaching that is trying to infiltrate the church at Colossae. But instead of getting the Colossians to fixate on the false teaching, Paul calls them to focus on moving forward, continuing to grow their faith in Jesus. Because the stronger one's faith in Christ is, the harder it will be for false teaching to draw them away from following their Lord.

    Colossians 2:4-5 // Spiritually Healthy Christians Need Jesus Too

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 4, 2025 44:41


    The Church at Colossae was spiritually healthy. They were doing well. But that didn't stop the apostle Paul from writing to them about Jesus. Because everybody needs Jesus – both the spiritually sick, and the spiritually healthy.

    Colossians 2:1-3 // Courage & Unity Unlock the Treasure

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 25, 2025 37:41


    Every Christian today has Christ living in them – an incalculable treasure of understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. But not every Christian accesses that treasure within them on a regular basis. In this message we will learn that courageous and unified hearts are the key to opening those riches in Christ.

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 11, 2025 43:55


    Although the specific details of each Christian's life will vary from one person to another, the main components of every Christian's life are the same: We all started out alienated from God, Jesus saved us, and then we go on to build the rest of our life upon Him. This is what Paul shares with the Christians at Colossae in the three verses we are looking at in this message.

    Colossians 1:15-20 // The Only One Worth Following

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 8, 2025 41:48


    There are many voices in our world today vying for your allegiance. There are many who are trying to get you to follow them, trust them, align your life with them. But there is only one person worth following. His name is Jesus. In this message we see Paul elevate the person of Christ over and above all other competitors. Jesus is simply the best. There is no competition. And this statement is objectively true.

    God has a plan for your life. He wants you to live your life a certain way. And if you give yourself to living how God wants you to live, then you will be blessed. And He will be pleased.

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 21, 2025 34:21


    When the gospel was first proclaimed in Colossae it triggered a series of events that culminated with Paul and Timothy giving thanks to God for all that He had done. The things Paul talks about in these verses should mark any group of people who have received the gospel for themselves.

    Colossians 1:1-2 // You've Got Mail

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 14, 2025 37:34


    Why should the Christian community at Colossae have cared about the letter that was sent to them from Paul? Why should you care about that same letter if you are a Christian? Paul gives us a compelling reason in the opening two verses of that letter.

    "Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up; if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect. Elijah was a human being as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the land. Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its fruit." - James 5:13-18

    "Come now, you rich people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you. Your wealth has rotted and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days. Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who mowed your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Armies. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, who does not resist you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord's coming is near. Brothers and sisters, do not complain about one another, so that you will not be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door! Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name as an example of suffering and patience. See, we count as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job's endurance and have seen the outcome that the Lord brought about—the Lord is compassionate and merciful. Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “yes” mean “yes,” and your “no” mean “no,” so that you won't fall under judgment." - James 5:1-12

For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes. Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So it is sin to know the good and yet not do it. - James 4:13-17
