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

    Colossians 4:12-13 KJV Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. [13] For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and ...read more

    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.

     | 10,836 views

    Paul finishes Colossians by focusing on three essentials for successful Christian living and ministry: Praying to God, Proclaiming the Word, and Partnering with others.

    INTRODUCTION If you knew your time was short on this earth and you wanted to give final instructions or advice to loved ones what would you say? It would be difficult but important. You would focus on essential matters rather than incidental things, wouldn’t you? Paul finishes his letter to the ...read more

    PAUL NEVER CLAIMED HE ACCOMPLISHED GREAT THINGS FOR CHRIST BY HIMSELF. HE SAID HE HAD A LOT OF HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS, AND HE RECOGNIZED THEM FOR THEIR HELP.

    With A Little Help From My Friends Text: Colossians 4:7-18 Introduction. Sometimes, I’m sure, we’re all surprised at how things get done. Sometimes, we don’t know how, and sometimes we don’t know who, but somebody did it; and, we know it got done! I’m sure we all remember the account of the ...read more

    Remember My Chains Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 24, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,124 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

    God designed us to live in community with others and to work in partnership with one another for the sake of the kingdom. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

    Why We Need Each Other Two friends were out hunting. As they were walking through the woods, one of them yelled and the other looked up to see a huge grizzly bear charging at them. The first friend started to frantically put on his tennis shoes. When his buddy saw this, he anxiously asked, ...read more

    Paul finishes his letter by giving us a model of Christian Ministry, or a model of passionate ministry

    Well, we come today to the end of Colossians. If you’ve been here for the last month and a half, I wonder if you can remember what the major themes of the letter have been? There are perhaps three I can think of. The most important is the centrality of Christ. I called this series, Christ the One ...read more

    Make Your Move Part 4: Let The Church Move Out Series

     | 7,643 views

    A church can only be what God has called them to be when everyone takes on their biblical role of, "minister." Based on a series of messages by John Maxwell, this message is about everyone doing their part in the body of Christ.

    Make Your Move Part 4: Let the Church Move Out Key Scripture: Colossians 4:7-18 Icebreaker: Today we’re wrapping up our series, Make Your Move. We’ve talked about how before God can use you for anything, you’ve got to let His Spirit move in and have control. We’ve talked about how God wants all ...read more

     | 3,742 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

     | 7,038 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

    Praying Without A Sense Of Failure

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Sep 6, 2009
     | 4,637 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
