As St. Paul continues to encourage the Philippians to rejoice, he speaks of himself as an example to the Philippians. As opposed to those who put their confidence in fleshly works such as circumcision, St. Paul truly has every reason for confidence in his own person and works. Yet he considers his own works as dung in comparison to the infinite worth of Christ, whose righteousness is given by God through faith. This is the righteousness that alone avails before God, and so as Christians we strive to remain faithful to Him unto the resurrection of all flesh.  Rev.

Colossians 1:1-2, 7-11 Luke 11:1-10

St. Paul updates the Philippians on two of his coworkers and expresses his desire to send them to the Philippians soon. First, he commends Timothy, whom the Philippians know personally. Timothy is an example of the humility of Christ, as Timothy concerns himself with the Philippians' welfare and the interests of Jesus. Second, Paul commends Epaphroditus, who had brought the Philippians' gift to Paul. The Lord had been merciful in sparing him from death, bringing great joy to the Philippians and Paul.  Rev.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we're exposing one of the most seductive lies in modern spirituality: the curated, beautiful, emotionally soothing version of feminine spirituality that looks sacred—but is rooted in self-made religion.Drawing deeply from Colossians 1–2, we'll walk through how rituals, divine feminine teachings, and aesthetic spirituality may have the appearance of wisdom, but lack the power to transform or save.You'll hear my personal story of reading Colossians for the first time while visiting Destin, Florida—exactly one year after God began pulling me out of the New Age. This powerful, Scripture-rich episode is a must-listen for Christian women who are waking up to the false light and craving true Biblical wisdom and freedom in Christ.

What does it mean to set your mind on things above? How does peace influence our decisions?

Life's storms can leave us feeling wrecked—caught on the rocks of illness, broken relationships, financial hardship, or loss. It's easy to wonder if these moments are God's punishment, but Scripture shows us that even the most faithful followers face fierce winds.In this episode, Michael Lane reflects on the Apostle Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27 and the trials that followed. Through Paul's story, we see that hardship isn't always a sign of God's displeasure—it can be an opportunity for His power and glory to shine through us.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Spiritual growth is an intentional journey that requires commitment to specific disciplines and practices. Based on Paul's letter to the Colossians, growing in faith involves three essential elements: faith in God's power to do the impossible, love as our response to Christ's sacrifice, and hope in our eternal future with God. Our beliefs directly shape our behavior, our trust affects our life's trajectory, and our confidence in God influences our outcomes. This growth happens through practical disciplines like Bible study, prayer, worship, fasting, giving, serving others, and regular church attendance. Mature believers have a responsibility to guide newer Christians in their spiritual journey, helping them develop from spiritual infancy to maturity.

Sermon Notes Date: 10/26/2025 Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor Series: Colossians Key Text: Colossians 3:1-4 Description: What if the most practical way to live with what's in front… begins by looking up? Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow returns to our study in the book of Colossians — where Paul moves from theology […]

In this episode, we delve into Colossians 1:21-23, exploring the transformative story captured within these verses. The passage opens with a stark reminder of our past—a time when we were enemies of God, distanced from Him by our thoughts and actions. This sense of separation provides a crucial backdrop against which the story of reconciliation through Christ unfolds. By the death of Jesus, we find ourselves invited into His presence, standing holy and blameless. This reconciliation is not just a change in status, but an invitation to experience a profound relationship with God.Reflecting on personal experiences, I share my own journey with storytelling, highlighting how narratives shape our identities and inform our responses to life. Just as stories can illuminate our individual paths, the grand narrative of the Bible serves as a cohesive story that portrays God's love and redemptive plan for humanity. This perspective is further emphasized by Leslie Newbigin's insights about the Bible not being just a collection of religious texts, but a unique interpretation of universal history that reveals God's relationship to humanity. I recount a personal experience that illustrated how one can be oblivious to enmity and wrongdoing, yet still be at odds with another party—drawing parallels to our relationship with God. The importance of recognizing this enmity is significant; it underscores the necessity of being alert to our spiritual condition. Just like I faced consequences for fishing illegally without realizing it, many may be in a state of separation from God without fully understanding the implications of their choices.The pivotal turn in this narrative comes with the phrase "But now," which signifies a miraculous change brought about through Christ. We explore the depth of this transition, detailing how God's love moves us from distance to closeness, from hostility to acceptance. Our acceptance as beloved children comes with the joy of being presented to God as holy and blameless—an astounding reality given our former state.As we progress through the episode, I emphasize the call to remain steadfast in our faith. This involves not merely a moment of belief but an active engagement in nurturing our relationship with God. We discuss practical ways to tend to our faith garden: through education and alignment of the mind, through admiration and vulnerability of the heart, and through service and presence of the body. Each of these areas offers opportunities for growth and connection, whether you're exploring faith for the first time, grappling with doubt, or firmly grounded in your beliefs.Ultimately, the story captured in Colossians reveals the essence of the gospel—a story that changes everything. I invite listeners to consider how this narrative shapes their lives, encouraging a commitment to remain rooted in the truth of God's love while actively engaging with the community around them. Through prayer and tangible actions, we can cultivate a faith that reflects our journey from separation to intimacy with our Creator.

Pastor Chris taught from Colossians 3, reminding us to live from our true identity in Christ—putting off the old ways and putting on the new nature shaped by His love and peace.

Thought to share? Send me a text...A snowy cabin, a tired heart, and a chapter that wouldn't let go—Colossians 3 turned a season of burnout into a turning point for Betsy. After a painful reorganization at church and the quiet ache of feeling “not enough,” a long-buried moment resurfaced: a warning phone call that planted a lie and fueled years of striving. What seemed like a four became a ten because an old arrow finally worked its way to the surface. That's where forgiveness stepped in—not as approval, but as release—and where Christ's peace began to rule.We share the honest process of naming hidden fears, pulling up the root of unforgiveness, and discovering how identity in Christ reframes every bruise. The passage's call to “put on” compassion, kindness, humility, and unoffendable patience becomes more than a list; it's the wardrobe of a heart that knows it is dearly loved. From that place, gratitude stops being a nicety and becomes strength. “Let the word of Christ dwell richly” shifts from theory to practice through simple rhythms: Scripture that takes up residence, a written list of truths that confronts lies, and Sabbath that protects the soul from endless proving.This journey didn't end in quitting; it sparked purpose. Sitting by the fire, Betsy recorded her first teaching to help students and busy listeners carry scripture into everyday life—seed of the podcast you're hearing now. If you're holding wounds that won't name themselves or living under a story that drains joy, this conversation offers a path: tell the truth, forgive generously, surrender to peace, and let love be the mark of maturity.

Colossians 3:18-4:1 "Relationship Advice" This sermon by Pastor David Tarkington was preached at First Baptist Church of Orange Park on October 26, 2025.

Paul's letter to the Colossians reveals a hidden key to living free from anxiety, fear, and confusion. These verses show that the peace of God is not just a feeling but a force that rules, directs, and protects your life. You will see how being in Christ gives you access to the same power that raised Him from the dead and how this truth unlocks supernatural calm in the middle of chaos. When you understand how peace operates as Heaven's umpire, you will never face spiritual warfare the same way again.   Podcast Episode 1919: Keys to Breaking Free in Supernatural Peace Hidden in Colossians  | don't miss this!

Culturally, submission is a posture to avoid at all costs. Yet, as Christ followers, we are to willingly submit. Doing so can be hard, but it is holy. In fact, submission becomes possible when we submit to others as if submitting to the Lord Himself. Colossians 3:18-4:1 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

Pastor Scott Bland, Godspeak's youth pastor, delivered a passionate sermon on God's will for believers: sanctification. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians, he emphasized that sanctification is not optional but a divine command to be set apart, transformed into Christ's image through the Holy Spirit's power. With humor and relatability, Bland shared personal anecdotes, like his wife's medicinal honey remedy, and cultural references, such as neighborhood Halloween displays, to illustrate the battle against worldly conformity. He urged the congregation to rejoice always, pray ceaselessly, and give thanks in all circumstances, aligning with Godspeak's anchored reading program and mission to live biblically in a dark world. The closing prayer called for surrender, trusting God's faithful promise to complete His sanctifying work.Reference Verses:Psalm 24 verse 1, John 6 verse 38, John 14 verse 12, Acts 10 verse 38, Romans 8 verses 11, 28, Romans 12 verse 2, Ephesians 1 verse 15, Philippians 1 verse 21, Philippians 2 verses 12–13, Philippians 4 verse 6, Colossians 1 verse 9, 1 Thessalonians 4 verses 3–8, 1 Thessalonians 5 verses 1–24, Hebrews 4 verse 12, 1 Peter 4 verses 1–2, 19, 1 John 4 verses 4, 18Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Today we welcome guest speaker Layla Nahavandi as she shares a powerful message titled “Citizens of Heaven.” In this sermon, Layla challenges us to remember that as followers of Jesus, we belong to a different kingdom—one not of this world. She reminds us that our true identity is not defined by earthly status or circumstance but by our citizenship in heaven. Through scripture and revelation, we learn that: 1.Citizens of Heaven have a new King and Kingdom. 2.Citizens of Heaven carry a name with authority and access. 3.Citizens of Heaven live by kingdom laws. 4.Citizens of Heaven speak a new language and develop a new accent. 5.Citizens of Heaven walk in new rights, privileges, and freedoms through Christ. Citizens of Heaven Bill of Rights I am God's possession, His child, His workmanship, His friend, His temple, co-laborer, witness, soldier, ambassador, and building. I am able to do all things because He strengthens me. I am a minister and an instrument; His chosen, His beloved, His jewel, and His heritage. In Christ I have been redeemed by blood—set free from sin, set free from Satan, and set free from the kingdom of darkness. I have been chosen before the foundation of the world, predestined to be like Jesus, forgiven of all trespasses, washed in His blood, and accepted into God's family. I have been justified freely by His grace, given all things pertaining to life, given great and precious promises, a sound mind, and the Holy Spirit. I have the ministry of reconciliation, authority over the enemy, access to God, and wisdom for free. In Christ I am complete—sanctified, justified, and fit for the Master's use. I am loved eternally, kept by His power, not condemned, one with the Lord, and seated in heavenly places. I am the head and not the tail, the light in darkness, a candle in a dark place, a city on a hill, and the salt of the earth. I am His sheep, hidden with Christ in God, and protected from the evil one. I am secure in Christ, set on a rock, more than a conqueror, born again, filled with His power, a victor, healed by His stripes, covered by His blood, sheltered by His wings, and hidden in the secret place. I have access to the Father, a home in heaven, all things in Christ, a living hope, and an anchor for my soul. I have authority to tread on serpents, power to witness, the tongue of the learned, the mind of Christ, boldness, access, and peace with God. I have faith like a mustard seed. In Him I can do all things, find mercy, come boldly to His throne, quench the fiery darts of the enemy, declare liberty to the captives, pray always, and overcome the enemy. The only things I cannot do in Christ are to be separated from God, to perish or be lost, to be moved, taken out of my Father's hand, charged, accused, or condemned. I am a citizen of heaven, and this is my identity in Christ.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we compare Colossians 3 with Philemon 1 we see an application of the Gospel to two men's lives. How did the transformation of Philemon's and Onesimus' hearts lead to radical reconciliation that displayed the glorification of God? While the gospel isn't written out in the book of Philemon we do see the gospel lived out in a way that can change the most conflicted of relationships in our lives.

Finding strength, purpose, and intimacy with God through rest, prayer, and dependence on His perfect provision.We reflected on what it means to wait with expectation for God's provision and strength, learning that in moments of weakness, His grace and love sustain us. Through prayer and discussion, we explored how trust and love overcome doubt and fear, recognizing Christ as the ultimate answer to every need.Our conversation centered on God's presence in Christ's fullness, studying verses like Zephaniah 3:17, John 1:1, and Colossians 2:9–10, which reveal that God rests in Christ and, through Him, dwells in us. This indwelling allows God to remove what hinders and replace it with His peace, leading to spiritual healing and growth in grace.We also discussed God's purpose and supernatural strength, noting that the number of listeners or the scale of ministry never diminishes the intensity of God's purpose. Prayer and intimacy with Him bring clarity to when we should move or wait. As we grow older or take on more responsibilities, we are reminded that His strength—not ours—fulfills His will.The conversation expanded into reflections on balancing ministry and spiritual growth, remembering seasons of youthful zeal and now learning deeper dependence through prayer and intimacy. We concluded with an understanding that God's grace and timing are perfect, referencing Isaiah 30:18 and Revelation 3:20—that He patiently waits for us to invite Him in. Together, we reaffirmed our collective mission from Matthew 18:20 and 2 Corinthians 5:18–20: to gather in His name, reflect His light, and bring others to reconciliation through Christ.Themes:Waiting with hope and trust in God's provisionExperiencing Christ's fullness and restGod's purpose and supernatural strength in weaknessBalancing ministry, family, and spiritual intimacyThe perfection of God's timing and graceThe collective mission of the church through unity and evangelismScripture References: Zephaniah 3:17; John 1:1; Colossians 2:9–10; Isaiah 30:18; Revelation 3:20; Matthew 18:20; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20Reflection Question: Where in our lives is God inviting us to slow down, trust His timing, and rest in the fullness of His grace rather than our own effort?

10-26-25 | Colossians: Jesus Is The Freedom You're Looking For by Plainfield Christian Church

Rev. Pete Jackson preaches on Colossians 3:12-17 in his sermon “Gospel in Life”.

CHRIST: II Timothy 2:10 (Philippians 2:1-11) Last? Paul learned to be others-centered! CONTEXT: Paul writes first to Timothy. These three verses are personal; they are powerful; they are problematic.I. The Impact of the Gospel is Past, Present, & Future: Condition & Promise  1. IF WE DIED (past tense) - conversion language; Jesus died for us; We died with Him; In Adam or In Christ; Luke 9:23; Romans 6:1-8, 11; Galatians 2:20 (“Were you there”); Colossians 3:1-3  2. WE WILL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM (future tense) - see 4:8  3. If we can look back with confidence, then we can look forward with assurance -  4. IF WE ENDURE (Bear up under much pressure; under a load); Jesus endured to the end; Paul endured to the end (lion's mouth); All of God's people will endure; Matthew 24:14; Possess the endurance of a soldier; Possess the endurance of an athlete; Possess the endurance of a farmer!  • WE WILL ALSO REIGN WITH HIM (future tense) - right now counts forever!

September 10, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class   This episode is a teaching-led exploration of Ephesians chapter 1, recorded as part of a quarter-long study of the prison epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon). The instructor sets the stage by explaining Paul's situation—writing under house arrest in Rome around AD 60–62—and outlines the original recipients (the church at Ephesus), their history, and the challenges they faced in a city known for idolatry and the Temple of Diana. Topics covered include the historical and literary context of Ephesians, Paul's relationship with the Ephesian church (including his farewell meeting with the elders in Miletus from Acts 20), and later references to Ephesus in Revelation which warn that the congregation lost its “first love” despite remaining doctrinally strong. The lesson distinguishes the book's structure—chapters 1–3 as doctrinal and chapters 4–6 as practical application—and emphasizes recurring themes such as the church, the phrase “in Christ,” and the spiritual blessings available to believers. The core of the episode is a verse-by-verse walk through 1:3–14 (noted as a single long sentence in the Greek) that catalogs Paul's catalog of spiritual blessings: election before the foundation of the world, predestination to adoption, grace and redemption through Christ's blood, forgiveness of sins, inheritance, and the sealing by the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of our inheritance. The instructor explains key theological terms (predestined, adoption, redemption, seal) and how they fit into Paul's larger purpose of uniting Jews and Gentiles into one body—the church. Practical applications are drawn throughout: the need for elders to guard the flock against false teaching, the centrality of evangelism (and the danger of losing zeal even when doctrine remains sound), the inseparability of Christ and his church, and how remembrance of spiritual blessings brings joy and endurance amid persecution and hardship. The resurrection, Christ's exaltation, and the hope of future inheritance are presented as sustaining truths. The episode is presented by the course instructor and is designed to be discussion-friendly—referencing a set of tough questions raised by an attendee to encourage listener engagement and reflection on how Ephesians' doctrines translate into daily Christian living.   Duration 46:59

Pastor Nate Hobert concludes our series through the book of Colossians, where we see how the gospel creates an uncommon community.

In this message from Colossians 3, Pastor Lance reminds us that loving Jesus wholeheartedly means letting our union with Him transform how we relate to others. When we live from our new identity hidden with Christ, we forgive freely, speak with grace, and pursue unity that reflects His love and victory in our relationships.

Pastor Christian continues the "Hidden with Christ" series with this message based on Colossians 4:2-6, highlighting the importance of prayer, humility, and being wise towards outsiders.We hope you were blessed by this message! Visit our website for more information about Grove City Vineyard.
