Continue In Prayer, Colossians 4:2-4

Onesimus comes back home. The backstory behind his leaving Colossae and his return to it is fascinating. And it teaches us a valuable lesson about who we are in Christ.

Message from Pastor Kory Cunningham on July 6, 2025

Today, Pastor Michael Acock speaks in week 12 of our series study of the book of Colossians. Our series is called "Beyond the Static" as we look to clear the noise of life and our world and listen to the voice of a loving God. In this sermon, Pastor Michael invites us into a conversation about prayer, emphasizing its pivotal role in connecting us to God's kingdom purposes. Drawing from Colossians 4:2-6, he reveals Paul's unwavering commitment to prayer even while imprisoned, showing how such steadfastness can transform lives, including our own. Pastor Michael shares that prayer isn't merely about requests but a way to align ourselves with God's will, awakening our spirits to the hopeful future He promises. As we confront the struggles of life and unanswered plea, we're encouraged to not just seek personal breakthroughs, but to pray boldly for opportunities to share the gospel, just as Paul did. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way.

In this final message of the Christ Above All series, we explore Paul's closing words in Colossians 4:2–18, calling believers to a life fully devoted to Christ through prayer and service. We are reminded that prayer is more than routine—it's deep communion with God, an expression of our union with Christ. Paul also highlights the beauty of Christ's ongoing ministry through His Church, as each believer plays a vital role in His mission. This sermon challenges us to live out our faith in word and deed, as devoted priests and faithful servants of Jesus. Whether new to faith or walking with Christ for years, this message invites you to deeper devotion in prayer and purpose.

This sermon concludes a 9-week series on Colossians, focusing on the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ throughout the book. Pastor Devin reviews key themes from each chapter showing how Christ is supreme and sufficient in all areas - as Creator, Sustainer, Head of the Church, Source of wisdom, and giver of new life. The sermon concludes by examining Paul's emphasis on prayer and living with expectant hope for Christ's return.What does it mean for Christ to be 'sufficient' in our lives?How does your prayer life reflect your relationship with God?Why do you think Paul asked for prayer for the advancement of the gospel rather than his own freedom while in prison?How would your life be different if you truly lived each day expecting Christ's return?What areas of your life do you struggle to fully surrender to Christ's supremacy?How does knowing Christ is sufficient change how we handle difficulties and persecution?What practical steps can we take to make prayer more central in our daily lives?How can we better demonstrate Christ's supremacy to others in our community?Support the show

Tychicus was sent by Paul to deliver his letter to the Colossians. And in that letter, Paul wrote about Tychicus, commending him to the church at Colossae. Why did Paul do that? And what are the implications of Tychicus' commendation for Christians today?

Our preaching series on the book of Colossians has been such a wonderful encouragement. We've looked at how Christ is the center of it all, the King of Kings who has supremacy in and over everything. Toward the end of the book, we've looked at Christian living in the family and in our relationships. To end it all, we'll be looking at what it means to finish strong and live the “sent life” for the King.

Are you a Christian who wants to be used by God when it comes to leading outsiders into the Kingdom of Heaven? In this message we take a look at how Paul instructed the believers in Colossae to engage with those outside the church. The instructions are timeless. Every believer today would do well to take Paul's words to heart. 

What does it really mean to live well? Colossians shows us that when Jesus is first, everything else falls into place. In this series, we'll discover how to truly thrive—by seeing Jesus for who He is, building a life on a solid foundation, and aligning our priorities with His ways.

Usually, at the end of Paul's letters, there are “greetings” to Paul's friends, which most of us probably skim over or ignore. But yet within these greetings there are some wonderful challenges and insights - and this week's greetings fit very well into Father's Day!

Most Christians are not called by God to travel to distant lands to bring the gospel to people who have yet to hear it. But that doesn't mean they aren't called to bring the gospel to people. Because they are! You don't need to hop on a plane to go and share the Good News about Jesus with someone. You can find people in your own backyard who need to hear the message that can save their lives. 

If prayer was suddenly taken away from you, how would your life change? Or would it change at all? We look at prayer as a life giving conversation that we should certainly engage in more frequently.

"He'll never change." "There's no hope for her." "It's just the way I am."

Title: Stronger Together Speaker: Mike Tindall Passage: Colossians 4:7 - 18 Series: The Hope of Glory Recording Date: 15.06.2025 AM

In the opening of his letter to the Colossians Paul shared with them how he had been praying for them. Now, as the letter begins drawing to a close, Paul asks them to return the favor - he asks his brothers and sister in the church at Colossae if they would pray for him. Specifically, he asks them to pray for God's intervention in Paul's evangelistic efforts.

We're nearing the end of the book of Colossians! This week, we looking at Paul's heart for evangelism and his understanding of prayer. He also mentions the “mystery of Christ”. What does that mean?

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. 

Christianity is a team sport. Whether you're an introvert who recharges in silence or an extrovert who thrives in a crowd, one thing is true—we don't follow Jesus alone. There are no solo disciples in the Kingdom. God places people in your life—and places you in theirs—because the Gospel doesn't just move through sermons or scripture; it moves through relationships. Watch this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D. and discover how God uses us, together, to share His story with the world. About the series. . . As followers of Christ, we're called to live in this world but not be defined by it. But what does that look like in our daily lives? How do we engage with culture, relationships, and challenges without compromising our faith? In the Kingdom Come message series by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we'll explore Jesus' call to live set apart, shining His light in a way that transforms rather than conforms. Each message will equip us to stand firm in our identity, make a difference in our communities, and navigate life with a kingdom perspective.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Today's Passage: Colossians 4:15-18Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.Today's Prayer: Lord, as we conclude the book of Colossians, plant these truths deeply in our hearts as we go out to love and serve the world. Amen.NOTES & LINKS:Information about the Women's Summer StudyInformation about the Men's Summer StudyReach out to the Center for Spiritual Formation

Today's Passage: Colossians 4:7-14Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. Today's Prayer: Lord, we thank you for the body of believers that surrounds us, the ways you hold us together, and the gift of comfort and encouragement. We pray that you will continue your work in us that we would stand mature and fully assured in the will of God.

May 22 | Colossians 4:2-6 by Christ Covenant

n this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony dive into the final verses of Colossians 4, reflecting on Paul's closing words and the rich theological and practical insights they offer. The discussion begins by addressing the significance of these often-overlooked sections of scripture, emphasizing their God-breathed purpose and the enduring lessons they provide for the church today. Paul's ministry partners, including Tychicus, Onesimus, and Luke, take center stage as Jesse and Tony explore how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary purposes in His kingdom. The conversation also highlights the theme of reconciliation, particularly through Onesimus' story, as Paul sends him back to Colossae, urging the church to embody the gospel by welcoming him with grace. This practical application of theology reminds listeners that the gospel transforms relationships and calls believers to live out Christlike love in their communities. Jesse and Tony also unpack the broader implications of Paul's instruction to share the letter with the Laodiceans, underscoring the importance of scripture's universal application across time and culture. As the episode wraps up, the hosts reflect on the unity and encouragement found in Paul's words, reminding listeners of the value of every member of the body of Christ. They also prepare for their upcoming exploration of Philemon, which continues the story of Onesimus and offers further insight into living out faith in real-world situations. This episode is a rich blend of theology, practical wisdom, and encouragement for believers seeking to grow in their understanding of scripture and community. Key Points: The Significance of Paul's Final Words: Paul's closing remarks in Colossians 4, though seemingly mundane, reveal God's interest in the details of ministry and the importance of community within the church. God Uses Ordinary People: The episode highlights Paul's ministry partners, showing how God works through ordinary individuals like Tychicus, Onesimus, and Luke to advance His kingdom. Reconciliation in Action: The story of Onesimus demonstrates the transformative power of the gospel, as Paul encourages the Colossian church to welcome him back with grace and forgiveness. Universal Relevance of Scripture: Paul's instruction to share the letter with the Laodiceans emphasizes the broader application of scripture beyond its immediate audience, affirming its value for all believers. Practical Theology and Community: Jesse and Tony discuss the importance of living out theological truths in everyday life, particularly in fostering unity and encouragement within the church. Questions for Reflection: How does Paul's inclusion of specific names and details in his letters inspire you to see God's work in the “ordinary” aspects of ministry? What lessons can we learn from Onesimus' story about reconciliation and living out the gospel in challenging situations? How can we as believers ensure that our churches reflect the unity and diversity seen in Paul's ministry team? Why is it important to view scripture as universally applicable, and how does this perspective affect how we read and apply the Bible today? In what ways can you, like Paul's ministry partners, support and encourage others in your church or community?
