Teaching from Sunday AM service by Pastor Jeff Miles
Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
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?

Colossians 4: Devote Yourselves to Prayer
Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony dive into Colossians 4:2–6, unpacking its rich themes of persistent prayer, evangelism, and the importance of gracious communication. They explore Paul's exhortation to the Colossian church, focusing on how prayer, wisdom, and speech are integral to a Christian's life and witness. The conversation emphasizes that prayer is not merely an action but a defining characteristic of the Christian life, reflecting the believer's intimacy with God and reliance on His grace. The hosts examine Paul's request for prayers that his proclamation of the gospel might be clear and effective, noting that clarity is essential in ensuring the message of Christ is understood fully by its hearers. They also discuss the relationship between wise conduct, gracious speech, and the ability to answer others with the truth of the gospel. The importance of integrating faith into everyday interactions is highlighted, particularly when engaging with non-believers in ways that reflect Christ's love and wisdom. The episode also delves into how Christians can faithfully live out their faith in a world of challenges, particularly on platforms like social media, where speech often lacks grace and wisdom. Jesse and Tony remind listeners of the high calling to let their words always be seasoned with salt, ensuring that every interaction serves as an opportunity to glorify God and share the gospel. Key Points: Persistent Prayer as a Lifeline: Christians are called to devote themselves to prayer, not just as an occasional act but as a continuous lifestyle that reflects intimacy with God. Clarity in Gospel Proclamation: Paul's request for prayer highlights the importance of presenting the gospel clearly and cogently, ensuring its full understanding by hearers. Gracious Speech and Wise Conduct: Walking in wisdom and letting speech be gracious and seasoned with salt are essential for effective evangelism and maintaining a Christian witness. Faith in Everyday Interactions: Integrating faith into daily life involves speaking and acting in ways that reflect Christ's love and wisdom, especially in challenging environments like social media. Questions for Reflection: How does your prayer life reflect your relationship with God, and in what ways can it become more consistent and intentional? In what areas of your life can you work to make your speech more gracious and seasoned with salt? How can you integrate faith into your daily interactions with non-believers in a way that reflects Christ's love and wisdom? Are there specific people or ministries you can commit to praying for, as Paul asks the Colossians to pray for him?

We're currently studying Colossians, and we'll be in chapter four, verses two through four. The subject is prayer - and why we should always seek the Lord first and foremost! Too many of us use prayer as a “last resort”, and that's a real shame. It's as if we're telling God, “OK, I can't figure this out, so it's your turn to try”. Is that really the message we want to send to God? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1425/29

Today, as we continue our series through Colossians, as we look at chapter four, verses two through four. Here, the apostle Paul gives some sage advice about prayer. Prayer is a wonderful gift from God, but it's wasted by far too many Christians. Can your prayer life be described as vigilant?

He emphasizes three important areas related to words: prayer, proclaiming the word, and witnessing to the watching world. The pastor encourages believers to be faithful, watchful, thankful, and purposeful in prayer, as Paul instructs in Colossians 4:2-3. Pastor Matt then discusses the importance of proclaiming the gospel and living a life consistent with one's beliefs. He uses Paul's "verbal group photo" of his ministry team to illustrate the diverse roles and lessons we can learn from faithful servants. The sermon concludes with four key takeaways from the Colossians series: Jesus Christ's supremacy, His sufficiency, the new identity believers have in Him, and how this transforms practical living.

Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025
Colossians teaches us that the gospel is not simply a one-time message that get us into heaven or a safety net from hell that we place upon the footnote of our lives. The gospel is a good message of the supremacy of Jesus that saves us, sustains us, and sanctifies us to the very end when we know it, believe it, and apply it to our everyday lives. Colossians shows us how the gospel of Jesus Christ affects and redeems every single aspect of our lives and, when applied, causes us to be growing in the gospel until Jesus comes back again. Join us as we continue Growing in the Gospel together through our study in Colossians this Winter!
Series: N/AService: Gospel MeetingType: SermonSpeaker: Mark McCrary
In this episode of the Sermon Notes podcast, Jay Strother and Brian Ball delve into the practical applications of scripture, specifically focusing on Colossians 3 and 4. They discuss the significance of living under the lordship of Jesus Christ in various aspects of life, including marriage, parenting, and work relationships. Jay and Brian highlight the transformative power of the Gospel in redefining authority, submission, and love, countering cultural power dynamics with biblical principles. They emphasize the importance of understanding and applying a Christ-centered worldview, encouraging listeners to engage with scripture in a way that allows God's truth to reshape their lives and relationships. Alongside these insights, they share personal anecdotes and offer encouragement for fostering healthy, God-glorifying relationships within the family and community.
1. Be devoted to PrayerHe will ask the Church to pray specifically for opening doors in order that he may be able to preach the gospel even though he is in chains (v.3). But first, he asks the Church to be watchful and thankful while praying. When I think of Paul's request to be watchful, I think of a lifeguard canning the ocean making sure that nothing is wrong or under attack. Thankfulness stems from us experiencing His grace. 2. Engage outsiders.Paul encourages the Church to engage outsiders but gives us some ways to do so. Be wise (v.5), Let our conversations be full of Grace and seasoned with salt(v.6) In other words, full of love and compassion (grace) but not to compromise the truth (salt). In that time the people would have understood two things about salt. Salt was used to preserve and to put in wounds to fight off infection. In the same way our conversations with outsiders should be focused on God's unconditional love, fueled by our passion for Jesus and others, but making sure we are not compromising or watering down the message of the Gospel. Jesus demonstrated this with his conversation with the women caught in adultery. Jesus asked her, “Who has condemned you, I don't condemn you” this is grace. He then says, “Go and sin no more” this is the salt. 3. Make DisciplesOur job is to make new disciples and teach them to become like Jesus. Paul points out that we should all be ready to answer everyone (v.6)I believe that takes learning the scripture and living out the scripture. James tells us to not just be hearers but doers of the Word.
Colossians teaches us that the gospel is not simply a one-time message that get us into heaven or a safety net from hell that we place upon the footnote of our lives.
