"Devoted To Prayer"

This week in Colossians 4, Paul is focusing on speaking to God in prayer. He tells us what a privilege it is to pray, and how powerful it is to bring our requests to an almighty God. Paul also addresses a few areas we often miss in our prayers...how we so often fail to continue steadfastly in prayer, or we get spiritually drowsy or even ungrateful in our prayers.Passage References: Colossians 4:2-4 Thank you for listening!

"Serving The Lord Jesus Christ"

As we move into the final chapter in Colossians, Paul explains how living under Christ's lordship affects every relationship in our lives - even with those over us and under our authority. But, the word "authority" today often has significantly negative connotations. But authority is not a threat to human flourishing in scripture - it's necessary to it! And yet, in a fallen world, there is also an element of risk. Passage References: Colossians 3:22 - 4:1 Thank you for listening!

"WANTED: More Spiritual Mothers!"

We’re taking a brief break from our series through Colossians to focus on mothers and women for Mothers Day. Paul makes clear that healthy churches - growing churches need godly, mature women who will pour their lives into other women! We need a culture where women are seeking and giving spiritual counsel for what it means to be a godly woman! Passage References: Titus 2:3-5 Thank you for listening!

"When Christ Rules The Home"

This week in Colossians, Paul helps us see what this looks like in the normal, everyday relationships within our home.  If we truly desire in, “whatever you do…to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus…” - then it the must start at home! Because this is the training ground! Passage References: Colossians 3:18-21 Thank you for listening!

"The Community That Exalts Christ"

Throughout Chapter 3 in Colossians, we've seen that Paul’s focus throughout is not merely on our individual virtues, but the way we collectively display the character of Christ as a community. The New Testament expects our communities will be messy - and yet puts the responsibility of working towards a Christ- exalting community on every member. And this week, Paul gives us three commands for how each and every believers is to collaborate together towards a community that exalts Christ!
