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.

Colossians 1:24-28 | September 21, 2025 | Pastor Jon ElliffIn this powerful exploration of Colossians 1:24-29, we're challenged to embrace the profound value of perseverance in our Christian walk. The central message reminds us that our struggles and sufferings are not in vain, but rather continue the work that Christ began. We're called to rejoice in our hardships, understanding that they contribute to the growth and strength of the Church. This passage beautifully illustrates how our personal trials can be transformed into opportunities for spiritual growth and kingdom impact. As we persevere, we're not alone - we're filled with Christ's energy, empowering us to endure. This message encourages us to view our challenges through a lens of purpose and hope, recognizing that our faithful endurance glorifies God and builds up His body. Let's reflect on how we can apply this perspective to our own lives, finding renewed strength and joy in our journey of faith.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

In Colossians 1:3–14, Paul prays with thanksgiving, showing us that prayer is our first response to what God is doing in others. Prayer not only lifts our needs before the Lord, it stirs thanksgiving within us and strengthens faith, love, and hope. Paul's pattern teaches us to pray for fellow believers: that they would grow in wisdom, walk worthy of the Lord, and wait with patience and joy.

Crossroads Community Church Sunday Service Podcast :: Valencia, CA

Colossians 1:19-23 | September 14, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful message, we explore the profound concept of reconciliation through Christ. The key scripture, Colossians 1:20-23, reveals how Jesus has reconciled all things to God through His blood on the cross. This reconciliation isn't just about forgiveness; it's a complete transformation of our relationship with God. We were once alienated and hostile, but now we're presented as holy and blameless before Him. This incredible change in status reflects the depth of God's love and the power of Christ's sacrifice. The message challenges us to consider our own need for reconciliation and to embrace the peace that Christ offers. It's a reminder that in a world full of conflict and division, we have access to true, lasting peace through our relationship with God. As we reflect on this, we're called to stand firm in our faith, knowing that our reconciliation is not just a past event, but an ongoing reality that shapes our present and future.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comColossians 1The Apostle Paul begins this powerful letter by expressing gratitude for the Colossians' faith in Jesus Christ and their love for all the saints, rooted in the hope of heaven as expressed in the gospel. He prays for their spiritual growth, urging them to live lives worthy of the Lord. The chapter highlights Christ as the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, and the head of the church. Through Him, all things were created and reconciled by His blood on the cross. Paul reminds them of their former alienation but celebrates their reconciliation through Jesus. He explains his role as a servant of the gospel, laboring to present everyone mature in the Lord, whose mystery has now been revealed: Christ in you, the hope of glory. As recipients of God's grace, we proclaim the greatness of Jesus and our calling to live in a way that honors Him. We have been rescued from darkness and brought into the kingdom of Christ, who is the image of the invisible God and the one through whom all things were created. Because of this, we live with gratitude and purpose. We do not walk aimlessly, but walk worthy of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work. His power strengthens us, and we endure with patience and joy. We were once alienated, but now we are reconciled through Christ's sacrifice. We press on in faith, grounded and firm in the hope of the gospel, trusting in Christ's supremacy and love. Benevolent God, thank You for the hope of heaven made available to us through our Savior, Jesus Christ. Help us to increase in our faithfulness to You and our love for others as a demonstration of our gratitude. Challenge us to grow in knowledge concerning Your glory and the power of Jesus Christ in our lives. He is the means through which You rescued us, our Creator and Redeemer. May Jesus take first place in everything. We will continue in the faith and hope of the gospel and ask for boldness to share the completeness found in Christ with everyone we can. Thought Questions: Faith and love are inspired by hope in God. What is hope? What are the things you hope for in the Lord that keep you faithful to Him?  What are some amazing qualities of Jesus listed in this chapter? What does it look like for Him to take first place in everything in your life? How has Jesus “reconciled you in His fleshly body through death” (vs. 22)? What does He expect from you because of His sacrifice?
