In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Tony and Jesse delve into the complexities of Colossians 1:24–29, exploring Paul's profound theology of suffering and the mystery of Christ's indwelling presence. The discussion begins by examining Paul's statement about "filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions" and how this does not undermine the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work. Instead, they argue, Paul is emphasizing the role of suffering in the Christian life as a means of identifying with Christ and demonstrating the power of the gospel. The hosts highlight how Paul models joy in suffering, presenting it as a privilege and a testimony to the transformative work of Christ in the believer's life. They reflect on how suffering serves as a tool to grow in spiritual maturity, deepen union with Christ, and proclaim the gospel authentically. By connecting Paul's message to broader biblical themes, they emphasize the importance of perseverance and faithfulness in the face of trials, drawing encouragement from Paul's example. Additionally, the conversation touches on practical applications for today, encouraging listeners to embrace their calling, even when it involves hardship, and to live in a way that reflects the hope of glory—the presence and power of Christ within us. This episode offers rich theological insights and challenges listeners to view suffering through the lens of God's redemptive purposes. Key Points: Understanding Colossians 1:24: The episode unpacks Paul's difficult statement about "filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions," explaining that it does not suggest any deficiency in Christ's atonement but highlights the role of suffering in the believer's life. Joy in Suffering: Tony and Jesse discuss how Paul finds joy in his hardships, seeing them as part of his calling to proclaim the gospel and as a way to demonstrate Christ's work in his life. Union with Christ: The hosts explore how suffering deepens the believer's experiential union with Christ, making His presence and power evident to the world. The Role of Ministers: Paul's example serves as a model for pastors and teachers, emphasizing the call to serve and suffer for the sake of the church and the gospel. Practical Applications for Today: The discussion concludes with encouragement for listeners to persevere in trials, embrace their God-given calling, and view suffering as an opportunity to glorify God. Questions for Reflection: How does Paul's theology of suffering challenge your understanding of hardship in the Christian life? In what ways can you find joy in the trials you face, knowing Christ is present with you? How can Paul's example of perseverance inspire you to remain faithful in your calling, even when it involves difficulty or sacrifice? What does it mean for you personally that "Christ is in you, the hope of glory"? How can suffering serve as a testimony to the power and sufficiency of the gospel in your life?

One day Buddy Fisch was an assistant account executive in Atlanta, Georgia, fresh out of college, and working on a Coca-Cola campaign that would spread across the nation. The next week he found himself without a job, homeless, and the caretaker of his younger sister. Buddy was forced to make a choice. Would he sit in his crisis or face the challenge in front of him with hope? He was brought to his knees and encountered Jesus in a way that he had never experienced before. This allowed Buddy to move forward with the joy of the Lord being his strength. Listen to this sermon to find out how the rest of the story ends and how in your distress you too can look to Jesus, the Hope of Glory.

Just like we can get a little melancholy after Christmas, we can also be melancholy, hopeless and despairing in our everyday life as a matter of our personality and character. This ought not to be. We have to raise our eyes a little higher! Let's look at Colossians 1 for some instruction from our Heavenly Father! Support the show

As we are led by the Spirit, we'll experience both glory and suffering. Suffering isn't meaningless; it holds the promise of future glory, which we all eagerly anticipate. As we wait for redemption, we lament what is broken in our world and move through loss towards hope. Key Verses: Romans 8:18-25

Christ in You, the Hope of Glory. Colossians 1:24-29. Lead Pastor Michael Clary
We're all on a journey. We are at different stages and different states, but isn't it better to be doing it with friends? Let's explore, through a metaphysical lens, how being in community we support each other's receptivity to a life full of abundance -- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, forgiveness, compassion, humility -- and an awakening awareness of the glory within.

"To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27 NKJV) Christ in us the hope of glory, that is our message. What greater message could you possibly have? We don't preach our denomination, we don't preach ourselves, we don't preach politics, or psychology, or philosophy. We preach a person and the person is the most glorious one in the universe in whom all the fullness of the Godhead dwells.
