Podcast appearances and mentions of christ colossians

At the heart of the Christian life is our union with Christ, through which all that rightfully belongs to Him is graciously given to us. Because Jesus reigns now at God's right hand, we are invited to view ourselves and our circumstances from His perspective. Though we do not yet comprehend it, the fullness of His glory will be revealed when Christ returns, and we will share in that eternal future with Him. Until then, we are called to live with attentive faith, allowing the reality of the gospel to shape every part of our lives.

Message from Rodger Moomba on 26 October 2025

Stuart continues our series in Colossians by preaching from chapter 3. In this part of the letter Paul talks about how through our new lives in Christ we can put to death our old ways and clothe ourselves with Godly virtues. Our 'Colossians: Christ in You' series will be going through Paul's letter to the church in Colossae, a letter sent whilst he was in prison. Paul wrote this letter to encourage them and also address the issues that Epaphras, their leader, had raised and to challenge them to a greater devotion to Jesus. Throughout this series we will learn about the difference that Christ makes living in you, the hope of glory (1:27).

Chris Continues our series in Colossians, starting with a brief explanation of our vision as a Church and our place in the wider Commission movement. In Colossians chapter 2 Chris talks about how once we know and have a relationship with Jesus we can find fullness of life, and what that can look like for us. Our 'Colossians: Christ in You' series will be going through Paul's letter to the church in Colossae, a letter sent whilst he was in prison.

In Colossians 2:6–12, Paul calls believers not just to receive Christ, but to walk in Him, firmly rooted and built up in faith. The life that flourishes in Christ must be grounded in Him, not in empty philosophies or self-sufficient thinking. This passage invites us to examine what shapes our minds and desires: does what we meditate on draw us closer to Jesus or pull us away? Remembering our baptism and the joy of salvation reorients us, reminding us that we are not the source of life but recipients of grace. To walk in Christ is to cultivate vigilance, humility, and direction, to set our faces toward Him and live a life worthy of His calling.

October 5, 2025 sermon from Providence Reformed Church Las Vegas by our guest speaker, Pastor Jay Anderson

In today's message the parish shares there thoughts on Colossians 1: 15-20.

Hear Stephen Wood preach from Colossians 1:15-20. Stephen gave this sermon at Liberti River Wards church on September 28, 2025.

Once we were alienated from God, hostile in mind, and marked by sin, but through Christ's death we have been reconciled and now stand holy and blameless before Him. Paul reminds believers to remain steadfast in the gospel, thankful to live in the fullness of God's revealed plan that prophets and angels longed to see. His aim is to see the church mature in Christ, knit together in love, firm in faith, and walking in the wisdom found only in Him.  

There is a real hunger in our church to read and understand the Bible more. What a beautiful glimpse of revival! So, we are deep diving into the letter to the Colossians and going to be bringing additional teaching moments on how to study the Bible for all that God has for us in it. PRAYERText (904) 770-3037 if you would like a member of our prayer team to pray with or for you.NEXT STEPSAre you ready to learn more about what it means to walk with Christ, get baptized, or get connected within the church body?

In Colossians 1:15–20, Paul lifts our eyes to the wonder of who Jesus is as our Creator, Redeemer, and the One who holds all things together. All things were made by Him and for Him, and in Him all things hold together. From the firstborn over creation to the Lamb praised in Revelation, Scripture calls us to see Christ's supremacy and respond in worship with thankful hearts.

The world hasn't gotten darker because darkness has grown stronger—it's gotten darker because the Church forgot who we are and what we're called to do. In this powerful message, we explore how Christians have been "spoiled" and stripped of God's power through man's philosophies, traditions, and ways that are not after Christ (Colossians 2:8-10).Key Points Covered:- Why many believers have lost sight of their completeness in Jesus Christ.- How the enemy uses deception to strip Christians of spiritual power.- The difference between religious comfort and true discipleship.- God's call for a remnant to rise in this hour.- Moving from services to surrender, comfort to conquest, safety to spiritual warfare.Scripture Foundation:Colossians 2:8-10 - Warning against being captured by empty philosophies and remembering our completeness in ChristThe Awakening:There's a remnant rising—men and women who will:- Take Jesus at His word completely.- Deny themselves and take up their cross daily.  - Follow Him boldly into enemy territory.- See cities transformed and cultures changed.- Advance God's kingdom for His glory.This isn't about religion or ritual—it's about authentic discipleship that transforms lives, communities, and nations. The power of the Holy Spirit is returning to those who will walk in total surrender to Christ.---

Complete in Christ Colossians 2 Chew the Bible S3Paul expresses his deep concern for the believers, wanting them to be encouraged, united in love, and rooted in the full knowledge of Christ. He warns them not to be deceived by fine-sounding arguments or human philosophies that are empty and based on worldly traditions rather than Christ.He explains that in Christ dwells the fullness of God, and believers are made complete in Him. Through Christ, they have been spiritually circumcised, buried with Him in baptism, and raised with Him through faith.Paul emphasizes that God forgave their sins and canceled the written record of debt, nailing it to the cross. Christ disarmed rulers and authorities, triumphing over them.Finally, he warns against letting others judge them by religious rituals, food laws, festivals, or Sabbaths, since these were shadows pointing to Christ. He cautions against false humility, worship of angels, and strict rules about the physical body, which have no real power to restrain sinful desires.Key Themes:Fullness and completeness in Christ.Freedom from human traditions and religious legalism.Christ's victory over sin and spiritual powers.True faith focuses on Christ, not man-made rules.Your words were found and I ate them

Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Parables of the Kingdom in the Gospel of MatthewMatthew 22:1-14 (ESV)1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”' 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.' 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”Sermon OutlineWhy do we resist God's gracious invitation? (v3)1.

Finding Our Mission in Christ | Sebastian Avalos | August 17, 2025Support the showhttps://www.newcityep.com

Rooted and Built Up in Christ (Colossians 2:6–7) “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Paul reminds the believers in Colossae that the Christian life doesn't stop at receiving Christ—it begins there. Salvation is the doorway, but discipleship is the daily walk. To “walk in Him” means to live with Christ at the center of everything we do: our choices, our words, and our attitudes. It's not about occasional moments of faith, but a continual way of living that draws strength from Him. Music By: Mike Outland

A god is whatever we depend on for all good and seek for refuge in distress. One can believe that such good comes from the Triune God, or one could seek it elsewhere. What is your god? Luther warns of mammon, people, skill, power, friendship, and pride. Each of these can easily become a god. However, we know from Scripture that all that is good is from God (Mark 10:18). He is the One who gives us food, drink, nourishment, health, protection, peace, and everything else we need to support this body and life. The objects themselves are not God, but flow from the generosity of the One who gives us all things in Christ (Colossians 1:15-20).  Rev.
