Psalm 11:105-112 Psalm 16 Philippians 2:6-11 Colossians 1:2b-6a Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com

Getting fit takes willpower. Earning a degree takes determination. Reaching your career goals takes hard work. In short, success takes commitment.And the same is true when it comes to your finances. Today, we'll explore what changes when you commit to managing money God's way.You've heard the saying, “Things worth doing are worth doing well.” And when it comes to your finances, there are certainly some things worth doing—like saving for the future, creating a spending plan, paying down debt, giving generously, and living with honesty and integrity.If you want to see real results in any area of life, it's going to take effort—sometimes a lot of it. And that's true for your financial life, too. Following biblical financial principles takes determination, planning, patience, and even sacrifice. So, why is it worth the effort?Because while commitment requires something of us, it also gives something to us. When we live with faith and integrity in our finances, we experience peace, contentment, and even joy. It's not just about doing the right thing—it's about being transformed more and more into who God wants us to be.Joining God in His WorkWhen you honor Him with your finances, you join in His work, bringing mercy and blessing to others. And as you experience His provision personally, your faith deepens, and your story becomes a testimony to encourage others.The Bible is filled with examples of faithful commitment. Hebrews chapter 11 is sometimes called the “Hall of Faith” because it highlights men and women who trusted God, even when they couldn't see the outcome. Abraham, Moses, Rahab—they placed their hope in God's promises before Christ ever came.But the ultimate example of commitment is Jesus Himself. Hebrews 12:2 says:“For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”A Savior who gave everything to redeem us is more than worthy of our full devotion in return.Faith lies at the heart of such a commitment, especially when it comes to finances. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as:“Confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”That means trusting God's promises, even when circumstances feel uncertain.Who's Really in Charge?So, committing to manage money God's way starts with faith, but it also requires surrender. That means asking: who's really in charge—me, or the Lord?In Matthew 6:24, Jesus says:“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”That's a heavy reminder for all of us. We can't be fully committed to both God and money. One will always take priority, and when it's not the Lord, we will feel that tension.Here are a few honest questions to consider:Do financial worries consume your thoughts?Do you find yourself chasing more and more money, more stuff, more status?Is your sense of security tied to your job or investments?If you answered yes to any of those, you're not alone. Many of us wrestle with divided hearts. It's easy to lean on what we can see, especially when life feels uncertain. But money, career, or comfort can never offer the lasting peace only God provides.Choosing to follow God's financial principles takes daily trust and perseverance. Galatians 6:9 offers this encouragement:“Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”Another gift of commitment is the encouragement we receive from God's people. You weren't meant to follow Jesus—or manage your finances—on your own.Colossians 3:12–15 paints a powerful picture of Christian community:“As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience… Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.”If you've ever felt like giving up on your budget or putting off your giving goals, you're not alone—we all face struggles. But if everything were easy, we'd never grow stronger.Walking With YouThat's why we're here at FaithFi—to walk alongside you. Whether you're just starting out or have walked this path for a long time, we want to offer help rooted in grace, wisdom, and truth.Most of all, we want you to experience the joy of following Jesus with every part of your life, including your finances. Because true freedom doesn't come from having more—it comes from trusting the One who gave everything for you.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I turned 65 in March and am now eligible for Medicare; however, I remain employed and have employer-sponsored health insurance that includes an HSA, which I continue to contribute to. I've received conflicting information—can I delay Medicare enrollment and still have both my employer and I contribute to my HSA?I'm a 73-year-old widow and have been retired since 2017.

How to Stay Rooted in God's Word When Summer Distracts You Show Summary In this episode of *Anchored in the Word*, Dave Jenkins explores a timely question: How can Christians stay rooted in Scripture when summer distractions pull at our attention? Vacations, longer days, and busy routines can quietly shift our focus away from God's Word. But the Bible calls us to be like a tree planted by streams of water (*Psalm 1*), flourishing in every season. Join us as we look at key passages—Psalm 1, Joshua 1, Colossians 3, and John 15—and draw insights from church history to help you remain anchored in truth. Listen to the Episode Watch the Episode Staying Rooted in God's Word This Summer As summer approaches, routines change, and distractions seem to multiply. Vacations, family time, and longer days often lead to the gentle but dangerous drift away from the spiritual habits we've worked hard to build. But even in the busiest season, God's Word remains unchanging. Psalm 1:1–3 paints a picture of a person rooted deeply in God's Word, like a tree planted by streams of water. It doesn't matter the season—the tree flourishes because it is nourished by something that doesn't change with the weather. This is the type of spiritual stability that God desires for us, even when life feels chaotic. What does it mean to stay rooted in God's Word this summer? It means choosing to prioritize Scripture over distraction. It doesn't mean doing more, but being more intentional about how we engage with God's Word. Whether you're on vacation or staying home, here are a few simple ways to stay grounded: Plan intentional time in Scripture each day—no matter how small. Use the ESV audio Bibles to stay engaged when traveling. Meditate deeply on a single passage, rather than reading widely. Involve your family in Scripture time, making it a part of your daily rhythm.

A clear description of the motive and behavior of God's love as it pursues the very best for a person. Specifically detailed are 1) What is a person's very best, 2) How God in love personally pursues a person's very best, and 3) Why God in love must pursue a person's very best. Also included are the rich benefits yielded when a person comes to understand the rich truth of God's love.

Today our scripture reading is from Colossians 3:15-17 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Having a spirit of gratitude is one of the most powerful tools that God has given us. The act of giving thanks, of feeling gratitude can actually change our brain chemistry. No matter what situation you find yourself in, there's always something around you worth giving thanks for. It may be a small thing, it may be a significant thing. Every day we wake up with a choice. That choice is what we focus on. We can focus on a sense of lack, or what we're missing, or we can choose to find and focus on those things we are grateful for. And allow the peace of Christ to rule our hearts. Can you think of one thing that you are grateful for ?Maybe its a person, something that has happened, or something that is a blessing - like health, or provision.Focus on that one thing and everything about that one thing that you are grateful for. Feel it in your body, feel the gratitude and worship Your father in the spirit of gratitude.Pray with me: “Father I have so much to be grateful for. Help me to work into the discipline of choosing to be grateful, of choosing to find things to give thanks for. Let your peace rule in my heart. As above So Below. ”

Are you being filled with the Spirit? There are misconceptions about what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Being filled with the Spirit is not some mystical ecstatic strange experience of euphoria, or personal intuition. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is to be saturated with the word of God. Colossians 3:16 tells us to let the word of… The post An Atmosphere of Truth, Part 1| Joyful life in the local church appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Ps Peter Morton brings the first part of our Colossians series, looking at 1:1-12 and showing the impact our lives can have, the power of ongoing prayer, the vital importance of developing relationship with God and how we can live a life worthy of our calling and bring pleasure to God's heart.  

John 5:41 I do not receive glory from men; reason with me for a few minutes, please. Jesus lives in those who are His, and He hasn't changed. He is life. As Paul wrote to the Colossians in 3:4, “When Christ, who is our life…” As we abide in Christ, we are empowered to live to love with Him. We abide in Christ as we identify with and embrace Jesus' life. We can be encouraged by a couple of things from this verse. First, notice His humility. Even though men may give Him glory and praise Him, He doesn't receive it. The glory of man isn't on His radar because the only glory He is interested in is the glory which comes from His Father. Humility is recognizing that everything we have comes from God. When we look to our Father in heaven as the source of our everything in our lives, we are abiding in Christ, and that's when the love of God can flow through us. Second, there is within all of us a desire for significance and glory from men. It's fleshly, natural, and demonic, as James noted in James 3:14-16. “But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.” The context of this verse is the various witnesses to who Jesus is. There's been John the Baptist's testimony, which is the witness of men. Then the witness of the works the Father gave Him to do, which testify that He is from God. Also mentioned are the witnesses of the Father and the Scriptures. The only glory Jesus received was that which was from God, revealed in His works and the Scriptures. We also then, as we abide in Christ, should only find our significance in the witness of the works Jesus does in and through us, being testified to in the Scriptures. Our significance in life comes from Jesus' life revealed in us. We must be on guard against loving for the glory of man. We should also say that we don't receive glory from men. I'm reminded of 1 Corinthians 1:26-31. For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.” I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

Hi, friend. I hope you're doing well today. For anyone who's ever been treated badly—in other words, everyone—Colossians 3:13 offers one of the New Testament's most challenging admonitions: “even as Christ forgave you, so you must also do.” Really, God? you might think. I'm supposed to just forgive them? I know it's not easy, and it won't be a straight line. But, with God's help, you will find the space of grace.

Mature in ChristJune 29, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Colossians 1:24–29, Colossians 2:1–7This Sunday, RD continues our summer series on Colossians. Paul's deep desire is for every believer to grow in maturity, not just in knowledge or activity, but in actual Christlikeness—to be spiritually formed into his image. However, spiritual growth is often slow, confusing, and nonlinear. True transformation comes not from our own effort alone, but from the reality that Christ lives in us, empowering us to grow over time. Although the process can feel like a struggle, we are invited to keep walking with Jesus, trusting that He is shaping us into who we were always meant to be.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

This week we're studying Colossians 3:1-10 and letting it inform our reading of John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way, in which he encourages Christians to “apprentice" Jesus. As Paul said, “Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is.” Since our status before God is secure, we are to be aware of his presence, attentive to his voice, and refuse to allow anything to keep us from him. We are to live a life that is conducive to knowing and growing in him. Our focus this weekend is on the first goal of apprenticeship to Jesus: to be with him.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward spiritual formation by following the lifestyle of Jesus — through intentional practices like silence, sabbath, simplicity, and community. It emphasizes becoming like Jesus by doing what he did, integrating faith into everyday life through rhythm, discipline, and deep apprenticeship.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be one of the original settlers in America? As a person leaving the safety of England to come to the New World and start over?Those people came here for religious freedom and risked it all. When they landed in New England, they literally put down roots as they built and planted the beginnings of an amazing experiment that is still ongoing.Colossians 2:6–7 says, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”Our ancestors were definitely strengthened in their faith as they faced challenges and danger. But the payoff was worth it. Maybe you're going through something similar. You've moved to a new place. New job. New social circle. And you want to find a church! Just tell Jesus you need help with all these things, and He'll be right by your side.Let's pray.Lord, forever you have walked with us and forever you will keep us close, making us strong in the faith.

Speaker: Pastor Dudley Rutherford

This week, in our series on Colossians, Michael unpacks what Paul calls the “mystery of God” and explores what it means for how we live and follow Jesus today.

In order to conquer the lies of the enemy we must wield the double-edged sword of God's word.(Colossians 2:6-23)

Mark Booker | Colossians 3:17 | In this conclusion to the sermon series on the new life from Colossians 3.12-17, this sermon considers the Christ-saturated reality of the new life, how this produces a life abounding in thanksgiving, and how that then leads us - as the beloved children of God - to do everything "in the name of the Lord Jesus."

Today, Pastor Steve Boul speaks in week 10 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. What if the true essence of relationships lies not in power dynamics but in the radical love of Christ? In this sermon, Pastor Steve illuminates the often-misunderstood passage from Colossians about household codes—wives, husbands, children, and masters—and reframes it within the transformative context of the Gospel. By studying these verses, he encourages us to reflect on how they challenge societal norms and provoke thought on what it means to truly submit and love each other under the lordship of Jesus.

Growing in faith starts by avoiding false signs of growth—like rigid rules, spiritual comparisons, or relying on religious practices. These can distract from the finished work of Christ. True growth comes from staying connected to Jesus, who gives us new life. Rest in what He's done—and help others do the same. Christ is enough.Scripture: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Colossians 2:16-23 (ESV)⁠⁠⁠Watch more sermons from the Elevate: Christ Above All Things series at ⁠⁠⁠https://crosstownalliance.com/elevate/⁠⁠⁠ABOUT THIS SERIESLife pulls us in every direction, but Colossians points us back to what matters most: Christ at the center.

Sometimes we spend so much time talking to God -- telling God what to do, telling God what we want to know -- that God can't get a word in edgewise. What if God wanted to say something to us that we wouldn't think to ask? Would we be able to hear it? This Sunday Pastor Jeff launches a new sermon series entitled "What God Wants to Say to Us: Practical Guidance from the Book of Colossians." Instead of us bringing our questions to scripture, we're simply going to study what God wanted to say to the Christians in Colossae and, by extension, to us. Instead of bringing our agenda to scripture, we'll let scripture set the agenda -- and see what we might be missing.

In this sermon on Colossians 3:16, we explore how the Word of Christ dwells richly in us through teaching, admonition, and singing—shaping our hearts, our worship, and our life together as the church.

Is it even possible for mountains and seas to praise God? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Watermark member, Josh O'Neal, about the last 6 Psalms. They discuss how everything on earth praise God and how we also are created to praise the Lord as seen in Psalm 148. Additional references: Colossians 1:16; Genesis 1; Luke 19:40; Romans 8:14Respond in worship with Psalm 145 by Shane and Shane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhOUSFgvJnc

Show Notes:: Episode Starts: 9:55 Worship is such an important part of our corporate gathers and our everyday lives. But does it really matter if the lyrics are 100% biblically sound? Can there be poetic freedom? Can every song be played during a corporate gathering? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller sit take a look at how worship can truly effect us and how we should take care in what we listen to and sing.

Jesus is the One who gives the world around us meaning and significance — so what we believe to be true about Him matters. This week, guest speaker and executive director of discipleship, Dave Bruskas, leads us through Colossians 1 to remind us that Jesus is not just a representation of God, but God Himself, and that should change everything for us.
