Our study takes us into Colossians chapter 1 verses 3 thru 6. In this prayer of thanksgiving, the Apostle gives thanks to God since he heard of the faith in Christ Jesus, the love for all the brethren and the hope which is laid up in heaven. The Colossian believers had heard the word of truth, that is, the gospel and were bearing fruit. The city of Colossae was one of three cities in that region. The other two cities were Hieropolis and Laodicea. So here we have the tri-cities of this region. With Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, love for all the brothers and hope which is in heaven, here is Dr. Mitchell with the Unchanging Word, Colossian 1:3. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchanging-word/message

In the final devotional in our series on experiencing God's promises, today we're going to look at what it means to live for God's glory. There is a wealth of promises that can only be experienced when we choose to lay down our own glory, and live for the glory of God instead. We weren't created to live for our own advancement, and attachment to advancement only breeds pain and suffering. But if we'll choose instead to seek God's glory, to lift him up and lead others to him, we'll find life, purpose, peace, and joy. Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 11:36, and today's worship is You Get The Glory by Jonathan Taylor. -- Faith doesn't happen on its own. It's a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It's a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself. It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it's supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you. We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life. With Faith you'll: Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully Study powerful moments of God's faithfulness in scripture Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.

In today's devotional, we're going to go deeper into the place of trust, seeking to open more of our hearts to our good and loving Father, so we can experience more of his promises, moment by moment.

May we as God's children trust him more fully today in response to his trustworthiness.

In today's devotional, we're launching a brand new series seeking to position ourselves to receive more of the reality of God's promises every day. There is so much available to you and to me in God that we fail to tap into.

As we near the end of series on God's promises, today we're going to look at the promise of his presence. The nearness of God is always to our good.

As we enter the middle of our series on God's promises, today we're going to look at his promise of freedom.

Today we're going to look at God's promise of compassion. Few things draw me nearer to God, faster, than a fresh revelation of his compassion. In a world that judges us so quickly, and so often fails to offer second chances, compassion is in short supply.

In today's devotional, we're continuing our series of taking hold of God's promises by looking at his promise of strength. Every day I wake up, I'm reminded of my weakness.

In a world that can so often bring us down, so often appear to be without hope, today we have the opportunity to make room for God to give us his perspective, that we might rejoice in his hope. May God give us wisdom, joy, and eternal perspective today as we make space for him to fill.

Today we're looking at a topic I think all of us can relate to: how to have faith in the midst of trials. All throughout Scripture we see examples of God's people struggling with faith in the midst of challenges. Doubt is something so natural, so human. And the world teaches us that when things get tough, we need to take this life into our own hands and sort it out. But God has a better way for us – the way of faith. May God empower us with revelation today that would bear the fruit of steadfast faith, even in the midst of trials.
