     | 479 views

    As Paul began to correct the teaching of the false teachers in Colossae, he first addressed the truth about who and what Jesus is. Although this section is deeply theological and Christological, it is extremely practical and helpful.

    Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026
     | 185 views

    As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.

     | 2,739 views

    We usually think of prayer as peaceful, but Paul described Epaphras as “wrestling” in Col. 4:12 with the word “agonize.” The same word is translated as "STRIVE" in an Olympic event and as "FIGHT the good fight of faith!" Join the wrestling match!

    Liars Or Living Letters? (1994)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022
     | 795 views

    Christian speech involves kindness, purity and truth as the three elements of godly speech for Christians. Take away any of those three and you are in danger of being a liar when the Bible makes it clear that we are to be living letters for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    LIARS OR LIVING LETTERS? Text: Colossians 3:5-9a In the Walt Disney movie "Pinnochio" there is a scene where Pinnochio's nose grows every time he tells a lie. And the point of that scene is that the more you lie, the more you have to lie to make all your ...read more

    Not Just For Sundays Anymore Series

    Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022
     | 2,300 views

    Many in the church grew up with "Sunday only" forms of discipleship that were confined to the local church setting. But discipleship isn't just for Sundays.

    For all my growing up and young adult years we equated the idea of discipleship with one thing: Sunday School. That meant that people came together on Sunday mornings, sat in classes mostly segregated by age groups, and learned about the Bible. Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more
