Colossians 2:6-14, 16a, 18-19 - Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him the whole fullness of Deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority. In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with Him in Baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross. … Therefore … Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body … grows with a growth that is from God.

Colossians 3:1–17 Theme: Living a transformed life that reflects Christ, not culture. Show Notes: - Paul calls us to shift our mindset to heavenly things. - We talk about killing the old self and clothing ourselves in Christ. - Real transformation is possible — here's how to live it out.   Key Takeaways You can't live a new life with an old mindset, renewal starts in your thought life. Putting off your old self is a daily decision, not a one-time event. What you “put on” matters: compassion, kindness, and love are your spiritual wardrobe. Discussion Questions: - What thoughts do you need to take captive and surrender? - Which 'old self' behaviors sneak back into your life?  - Which of Christ's virtues do you need help 'putting on' today?   Find the reading plan and freebie for each season at chrystanferrell.com/podcast   Daily Pages Workbook: https://amzn.to/3ZqmQVb   Not Your Mommas Bibel Study Live Chrystanferrell.com/live  Bible Study Tools https://amzn.to/3WTIXDz Spiral Bible & Highlighters https://bit.ly/4hoUXER Pretty Little Patriot for all your fashion needs https://prettylittlepatriot.com/?ref=chrystanferrell Use code CHRYSTANFERRELL for a discount!

When the Bottom Falls Out in Your Life, Ask God to Get Involved Through Prayer AND Thanks – You will Be Amazed! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Sometimes the bottom falls out in your life, and you wonder where God is in all your stuff. Well, the challenge to you is to “Thank God” by turning your eyes away from all your life's “stuff” and turning your eyes to God and thanking Him! We have no better teacher, of the need to address God with our thanks, than when, in Luke11:2, Jesus responded to His Disciples' request to teach them to pray: “And he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.'". By taking your situation to God in prayer AND thanks, you will be amazed at what will happen to your situation which, before you asked God through prayer AND thanks, seemed insurmountable. What do you usually do? You worry and fret – you focus on the negative and give the adverse situation so much power, in your life, rather than focusing on God and giving Him thanks. In Mathew 6:34, Jesus tells you not to be anxious about your life situations: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Ask God to get involved in your life through prayer and thanks – you will be amazed.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, may your will, not my will, be done in my life. You know how easy it is to call myself a Christian but then become busy, forgetting about your will and desires. Forgive me for this sin. Help me listen to you, and grant me the courage to faithfully surrender to you. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 25). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, My life is about Christ (Philippians 1:21). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1 Corinthians 11:25; Colossians 2:2-3; John 10:25-30; Psalms 17:1-15. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

This message centered on God's steadfast love and faithfulness, calling believers to trust in His plan, walk in the light of Christ, and embrace divine counsel. Through Scripture, prayer, and discussion, we explored the richness of reconciliation through Christ, the power of thankfulness, and the necessity of spiritual growth. Participants reflected on how God's unchanging nature brings clarity and peace, even when life feels uncertain. The session concluded with prayer, interceding for loved ones and resting in the assurance of God's care.

The victim mentality has the power to leave you hopeless and helpless. How is the victim mentality influencing your life? Have you been the victim? Are others in your life playing the victim? Where is the victim mentality holding you hostage, parenthood, relationships, career? What is it? In a nutshell, a victim mentality is when someone blames others for their life experiences. In other words, they do not take ownership of, or responsibility for their decisions and actions that resulted in unfavorable circumstances. Experiencing it. If you are the person employing a victim mentality, you are blaming others for things in your life that you are unhappy with. Blaming equates to powerlessness. When you, or others in your life, do not take ownership and consistently blame others, you sacrifice the power to change your circumstances.  Additionally, a victim mentality is characterized by a lack of accountability for one's actions. Likewise, they do not adopt healthy coping mechanisms; instead, they blame others. This can be the result of trauma or past experiences, or it could be an intentional choice. Complaining is a symptom of victimhood, and people deny responsibility or ownership for their part in their circumstances. Blaming others, Satan, or God is quite common when someone chooses victimhood. Blame is the key ingredient of a victim mentality. I've recently heard an overwhelming number of people blame the devil for their current circumstances, be it relationships, financial insecurity, lack of success, emotional chaos within their families, or anxiety. When anyone gives Satan credit for their circumstances, they are rendering themselves powerless to him. Scripture verses that remind us that Satan has no authority over us: Luke 10:19 "See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you." 1 John 4:4 "Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." Colossians 1:13 "He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son," Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The second step is to give yourself a social media reset and use the time you've been scrolling to get closer to Jesus. Read the full shownotes and access all links.

We'll be finishing up Colossians, with the apostle Paul's closing comments. In the final few verses of the epistle Paul mentions several people that worked alongside of him. They were near and dear to his heart, and pastor John Randall believes this has a lot to say to us about the importance of people in our lives. We weren't meant to go it alone, in our daily walk.

It seems that memorizing scripture is a lost discipline in today's church culture. I rarely hear anyone talking about the verse they are memorizing, nor do I hear people reciting the verses they have learned by heart. Main Points:1. A generation ago, scripture memorization was practiced more regularly. It was talked about in the church. At home, families memorized Bible verses together and practiced quoting them to one another. I remember as a child, my family memorizing Romans chapters six and eight. We also memorized several of the Psalms. Amazingly, many years later, I can still recite many of these Bible verses by heart.2. When we memorize Bible verses, it allows us to internalize the Word of God. This deepens our spiritual understanding and helps us apply the scriptures to our daily lives.3. Putting the Word of God in our hearts and developing the ability to recite verses at any time gives us the strength to fight temptation.Today's Scripture Verses:Deuteronomy 11:18-19 - “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”Colossians 3:16 - “Let the Word of God dwell in you richly…” Psalm 1:1-2 - “Blessed is the one…whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”Psalm 119:11 - “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”Psalm 37:31 - “The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Desire for My True CountryJuly 20, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Colossians 3:1–17This Sunday, RD continues our summer series on Colossians. Colossians 3 reminds us that transformation begins with identity—we have died with Christ, been raised with Him, and now live as new people whose lives are hidden in Him. Because of this reality, Paul calls us to set our minds on things above and actively put to death what is earthly in us—old patterns like sexual sin, anger, and lying—and instead put on compassion, humility, patience, and love. These changes are not about behavior management but about living from the truth of who we are in Christ: chosen, holy, and beloved. There is power and comfort in knowing that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God—reigning, interceding for us, and securing our forgiveness.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

The Rich Fool, Ecclesiastes, and Finding True Wealth. Join Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the challenging texts for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (August 3rd, 2025). This episode explores Luke's parable of the rich fool, examining what this wealthy man actually did wrong and why Jesus calls him "fool" rather than "sinner." The hosts tackle tough questions about wealth, possessions, and what it means to be "rich toward God." They discuss how the parable connects to our modern struggles with storage units, financial security, and the subtle ways greed can creep into our lives - even when we're just trying to be responsible. The conversation also explores the challenging pairing of this text with Ecclesiastes, examining the wisdom literature's perspective on vanity (Hebrew: hevel - like smoke or vapor) and the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits. Plus, they delve into the beautiful poetry of Hosea 11, where God's parental love and tender compassion shine through despite Israel's unfaithfulness. Commentaries for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost can be found on the Working Preacher website at https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/ordinary-18-3/commentary-on-luke-1213-21-6. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

Today we begin our look at the book of Colossians, an ancient letter written to an ancient people trying to make sense of the way of Jesus among a diverse and spiritually confused culture. Being woven together is a powerful vision for the meaning of life, and an invitation out of darkness and into the Kingdom of Light. Together we'll begin to explore these question, “If Jesus holds power over death, Jesus is LORD. If Jesus is LORD what does that mean for the darkness and evil and corruption, I see around me? If Jesus is LORD, what does it mean for authority and power and empires and government? If Jesus is LORD, what does it mean for communion and connection with people I was taught to despise?”This message is from our Sunday morning service on July 20th, 2025.We gather on Sunday mornings at 10:00am at the AMC Orchard Theatre (14653 Orchard Parkway, Westminster 80023).Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

One of the biggest misbeliefs in Western Christianity is that God's ultimate goal is our happiness and prosperity. When we believe this, we start thinking God exists to serve us rather than us serving Him. We were created for Him, not the other way around (Colossians 1:16, Romans 11:36). True joy isn't found in chasing happiness but in living for Christ as Lord.

Why are there four blood types if God created just two people? It's a question that's stumped skeptics—and even some Christians.

As you look back a few years to when we were going through Covid, perhaps you've learned a few things about what's really important in life. One thing many of us have discovered is how important it is that we're together! We need to be with others, and God intended it to be that way. That's emphasized in today's message on a Daily Walk, as pastor John Randall is in the closing verses in Colossians.

To be forgiven you must forgive others. It really is that simple. You can't ask for something you aren't willing to give to someone else.Why do I need to be a person who forgives? Christ instructs us to be forgiving.Doing the will of the Father is a sign that salvation has taken place in your life, which is the key to accessing heaven.It's a wise instruction, which leads to stability. It allows God to work through us for kingdom purposes.We forgive others because we have been forgiven.One might argue that if no one is worthy of forgiveness, everyone is equally deserving of forgiveness.Matthew 6:14-15, Matthew 6:12, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 18:21-22, Matthew 7:24-27, John 6:38, Philippians 2:13-15, Ephesians 4:32, Luke 17:3-4, Matthew 5:44-45, Colossians 3:12-13, 1 Peter 2:19, Romans 12:20

This week, Pastor Joe wraps up our five-week series on Calling by turning to Colossians 1:15-28. He challenges us to be a church that knows our "why" so that we can participate in God's ongoing work towards a world where all are welcome and all belong!

Marriage & Family week 4 looks at the 'God Factor' in marriage. The central theme revolves around Colossians 1:27, reminding us that 'Christ in you' is the hope of glory. This isn't just about knowledge; it's about bringing the unadulterated power of God into our relationships. We're urged to move beyond simply hearing truth to actually embodying it. The message draws striking parallels between our need for forgiveness from God and our call to forgive others, especially our spouses. It's a wake-up call to examine the roots of bitterness in our hearts and to use forgiveness as the shovel to dig them up. This isn't about minimizing hurt, but about elevating what Jesus has done for us. As we reflect on this, we're compelled to ask ourselves: Are we allowing unforgiveness to stunt the growth of our marriages? Are we ready to extend the same grace we've received?

This week, Michael reminds us that in the opening chapters of Colossians, Paul challenges us to expand our view of Jesus. As the cosmic Christ, Jesus offers everything we need to grow, be transformed, and become who we were created to be—people who reflect Him and make a lasting difference in the world.

Jesus doesn't just redecorate. He renovates.(Colossians 3:18-4:1)

Above All | Colossians 3 | Pastor Steve Garcia What really changes when you start following Jesus? In this powerful and practical message, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia takes us deep into Colossians 3 to explore how new life in Christ calls for a new way of living. If Jesus is truly above all, then our hearts, minds, and behaviors should reflect His rule over our lives. This message isn't just a reminder—it's a call to action to live differently, think differently, and love differently as citizens of Heaven. ✅ If you're tired of drifting, if you're ready to grow, or if you're new to faith—this message is for you.

This Sunday, we talked about mindset, putting off the old self and putting on our new identity in Christ.

Homily from the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Do it for the love of Jesus. We all have a lot to do. We may even be tempted to resent all that we have to do. But if we do it for the right reason, even the most difficult tasks take on new power and new purpose. Mass Readings from July 20, 2025: Genesis 18:1-10 Psalm 15:2-5Colossians 1:24-28 Luke 10:38-42

Jase makes a passionate case to become the nation's first "duck czar" after hearing about a waterfowl poop crisis at a public park. Al and Jase recall the time Phil raised 500 ducks for a conservation project, only to have the government storm the property and take them out in an unfair operation. Jase shares an unexpected God moment with a grieving stranger, which ends up being an encounter that helps him process some of his own grief over losing Phil. The guys explore the meaning of Christ as the “firstborn from the dead” and how that ties into creation, authority, and our spiritual identity. They emphasize that resurrection is more than an event—it's a status Jesus uniquely holds, which shapes our understanding of salvation and eternal life.
