Actors in a Supporting Role

In Colossians 4:7-14 Paul writes about a cast of character who play a supporting role in the work of the ministry. He commends many for their faithful service, but a further look reveals that not each one remained faithful.  May God use this message to encourage us to give our best to the Lead Actor, in the drama of redemption, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Church Clean-Up Day

Paul addressed the need for holy living in the congregation in Colossians 3:5-11.  He said there is behavior that needs to be mortified    . . . literally- terminated because of death . . . that has no place in the believer.  Listen to hear the list of what Paul says needs to be "put to death" and "put off."  Then, do an inventory in your behavior. Need a clean-up day?

Religion vs. Relationship

In Colossians 2:16-3:4, Paul highlights the difference between having to live under the Law compared to living in relationship with the Lord. Legalism, spiritism, egotism, asceticism don't measure up. We are in relationship to God when we walk in fellowship based on His saving and sustaining grace

Included in Christ

Colossians 1:24-29 teaches the believer that there are several things included in our experience with Christ.  Because of our faith, we are placed into the body of Christ, the Church, becoming one with others who have trusted Jesus.  Our journey may include suffering.  And it should include teaching others with wisdom, the truths of God. How can we do this? God provides all the power necessary!
