    Sad, many believers are walking around with grave clothes on when we ought to be wearing grace clothes.

    All dressed up and somewhere to go. Colossians 3:12-17. 10/16/05 Have you ever heard a person say I am all dressed up and nowhere to go?

    According to one researcher, one of the characteristics of a strong family is "appreciation" or thankfulness for others in my family. Why do we find this so hard to do, and how do we train ourselves to be appreciative?

    OPEN: Back in the 70’s, a woman wrote an article I found interesting. She said that her cousin had invited them to “Come for a thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, March 20th.” She wrote: “She was not celebrating an early Thanksgiving. She was saying that all was well with her husband, who had ...read more

    Often we want to make ourselves better but go about it the wrong way. Paul the Apostle gives us tips in how to put off the old nature and put on Christ’s character.

    In chapter 2, Paul focused on the error of elevating the mind above the knowledge of God, and focusing on taming the physical body as a way to righteousness. He chastises the use of external rules and regulations, especially those around following certain ritual days and abstaining from certain ...read more

    The preeminence of Christ should not only be our dogma, but it should also be our practice. If we truly practice the preemeninence of Christ, it will affect every area of our life.

    PRACTICING CHRIST’S PREEMINENCE Text: Col.1: 18; Col.3: 17 Intro: Paul wrote the letter to the Colossians while a prisoner at Rome. The church, located in the city of Colossae, actually began and met in the home of a man whose name you may recognize—Philemon (Phil.2). You may recall that ...read more

    I have to begin this morning by letting you know that this sermon could in fact be the last sermon I ever preach, for today I am being presumptuous enough and perhaps even foolish enough to stand up in front of you and tell you what women in our congregation are thinking. If I get this right I’ll ...read more

    When we shrink God’s holiness we have no standard to live by

    How we have made God a shrinking reality DON’T BE AFRAID! Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn’t? or Saying nothing and wishing you had?

    Many people are looking for the perfect church - yet they don’t have a clue where to find it. These three verses from Colossians give us a snapshot of the perfect church - and it might be the church your at.

    The Perfect Church Colossians 3:12-14 In my time in ministry, I have heard more than once the statement, “If you find the perfect church don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect.” I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that something was being hinted at in that statement. What do you ...read more

    Max Lucado, in his book In the Grip of Grace tells the story of the family of God in the form of a parable. He writes, “God has enlisted us in his navy and placed us on his ship.
