    The stakes have never been higher!

    Prayer is a wrestling match! Colossians 4:12-13 12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you ...read more

    These are the kind of verses we tend to skim over. But to have your name mentioned in the Word of God is no small thing! Paul mentions those who stayed and prayed and one who strayed.

    Remember My Chains Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 24, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,140 views

    Like some of Paul’s companions in prison, we may be held back by tasks too small, by shame, or even by our own prejudices. But once we accept our limitations as part of God’s will, they become ways to help others and fulfill our life callings.

    If you suffer severe limitations, what do you wish for? What is your prayer, if you are bound by something that keeps you from doing what you really want to do? Do you wish you could be free from it? Likely you do. Do you even pray that you might have that limitation removed? I expect that I ...read more

    A Motley Crew, In Chains

     | 3,751 views

    Tychicus, Onesimus, and Aristarchus chose to chain themselves to ministries of encouragement, inclusion, and support.

    If you follow the rock music scene, I guess I should hurry to assure you that the sermon today is not about a heavy metal group, nor is it about some kind of kinky fetish. The theme, "A Motley Crew, In Chains" is evoked by the long list of names which Paul singles out as he finishes the Colossian ...read more

    Closer Than A Brother

     | 7,074 views

    In this text, Paul lists some good friends, which could be categorized in this way. 1- Staying friends 2- Praying friends 3- Straying friends

    INTRO.- Do you know what is closer than a brother? A good friend. A faithful friend is closer than a brother. Prov. 18:24 “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Do you have a friend who sticks closer than a brother? Or did you ever? ...read more

    There are times that much wrestling is required in prayer. Epaphras was an excellent example of this.

    Praying Without A Sense Of Failure

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Sep 6, 2009
     | 4,655 views

    When it comes to prayer most of us feel a sense of failure and some of us give up. This need not be. There is no one-size-fits-all method. You can be encouraged and enable in your prayer life.

    COLOSSIANS 4:2-18 ’Devote yourselves to prayer’ PRAYING WITHOUT A SENSE OF FAILURE INTRO One of the great discoveries we make as Christians, particularly when we begin to read the early chapters of Genesis, is that we were created by God, NOT to go it alone -- not to live a life disconnected from ...read more
