Colossians 4:2–6
Colossians 4:2–6 is one of Paul's last exhortations in the letter. Paul urges for the church to be alert in prayer, praying for doors to be opened for the gospel, and for their lives to proclaim Jesus in how they live and speak to outsiders! Join us this Sunday as we dive deep into how to apply this to our lives!
Colossians 3:18–4:1
We need to remove our "cultural lenses" in order to see clearly what the Bible says about the relationship between slaves and masters. And when we do, we see the subverting and transforming power of the Gospel in all areas of life.
Colossians 3:18–4:1
Your position in Christ has implications for the practice of your life. Christ shapes your character and your character gets lived out in relationships. This is most especially true in your relationships at home. In the home is where it all gets real, especially with the kids!
Revelation 22:16
In the darkest part of the night, when it seems foolish to hope that the dawn will ever come, the bright morning star appears faintly in the sky. The darkness is still so deep, but we can be sure that the star's appearance pulls the morning in behind it.
Romans 13:11–14
2020 has been a year of challenges for everyone and the Church body has not been immune. We have been challenged (and probably failed) in many ways to love “our neighbor” (Rom. 13:9-10), and that is an important concept that we must come to understand. You see friends, we are closer to the end; closer than we have ever been before (vv. 11), and we need to be on guard so we can finish strong.
1 Thessalonians 5:1–11
These seem to be some pretty dark days of anxiousness and uncertainty, but the apostle Paul assures us that the living God doesn't leave His people in darkness. The Light shines on how we should live.
Zephaniah 3:14–20
Who doesn't love a feel-good Christmas movie on a cold winter's evening? But what makes you feel good once the movie ends? The prophet Zephaniah anticipates a day of singing that transforms the whole of who you are for the whole of your life.
Sermon Notes
Malachi 3:16–4:6
The four weeks of the Advent season call our attention to the "Coming of the Day." If asked which day, most people would likely say, "Well, Christmas day, of course!" Ok, but that's not all. Christmas remembers a day that has come and we also await a day that will come!
Colossians 3:18–4:1
Your position in Christ has implications for the practice of your life. Christ shapes your character and your character gets lived out in relationships. This is most especially true in your relationships at home. In the home is where it all gets real.
Colossians 3:1–17
With our minds set on the things above, the practice of our lives then becomes putting off the things of this world and putting on Christ-like character. Paul gets specific about what this looks like. Are you ready to "do everything in the name of Jesus"
Colossians 3:1-10
We learned last week from Chapter 2 about religious distractions that the Apostle Paul called “shadows.” This week we will learn about the “Substance” — Jesus. To walk worthy of the Lord and to have a real, fulfilling Christian life, we must add some things to our life and eliminate some things. By understanding our position in Christ, we can improve our practice of our walk.
Colossians 2:16–23
In this week's passage, we see Paul address three practices that have crept into the lives of believers which threaten their connection to God and their lives lived well. Religious distractions move us away from the substance of all things.
Colossians 2:6–15
The first three rules of real estate are: Location, Location, Location. Certainly, a key component of that is the view, view, view! The apostle Paul wants us to have a clear view of our location so that we can live fully alive!
Colossians 1:24–2:5
Following Jesus is deeply personal, but it is not only personal. It's a life lived out together with others as we find our identity and unity in Christ. Paul calls this "the mystery." Now more than ever, this mystery needs to be lived out.
Colossians 1:15–23
The letter to the Colossians is all about recognizing Jesus as Lord of all things. All Things! All things? Yes, all things. Which begs the question, "Are there things in your life over which Jesus is not Lord?" Tough question.
Colossians 1:1–14
Paul encourages the church of the Colossians to live a fruitful life. In face, he is always praying for them in this regard! What makes a fruitful Christian life? Are our answers the same as Paul’s? Listen to the message to find out!
Acts 28:14–31
The book of Acts draws to a close with a lot of unfinished business, but that’s ok; the story continues. 2000 years later, we get to join the Holy Spirit and His work as we live out the unfolding story in our lived.
Acts 17:17–38
In Acts 20, the apostle Paul offers some parting words to the leaders of the church in Ephesus as they run the race of faith. How are you running the race these days? Paul offers four key principles to ensure we run it well.
Acts 19:8–41
When the Gospel takes root in your life, your idols will be exposed. The lordship of Jesus brings no little disturbance, and Acts 19 shows us just how ugly things can get.
Acts 18:1–5, 24–28
Just like Priscilla and Aquilla, we're following Jesus in the “new normal” of the resurrection. Details are different, but the mission is the same. These two “regular” Christians figured out a way forward, and God’s Word leads us to do the same.
