    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2015
     | 4,491 views

    It is most amazing to me how the apostle Paul opens his letters to the churches. This sermon concentrates on the salutation used in the letter to the Colossians and provides insight into how we could or should interact with each other. Praise be to God!

    Colossians 1:1-13 “1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.” “3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord ...read more

    The Letter of Paul to the Colossians has very strong significance for the issues which face the Church today. This "prison letter" is a letter of hope and clear teaching on the deity of Jesus.

    “The Present Fruit of Heavenly Hope” Colossians 1:1-8 Introduction We are going to take some time to examine Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae, known as one of Paul’s Prison Letters (the others being Ephesians, Philippians and Philemon) ...read more

    Christians live within the tension of being in a fallen, broken world, while trying not to be influenced by it.

    “He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of His beloved Son” (Colossians 1:13). As Christians, living between two kingdoms is what we do every single day, regardless of where we are. We face the challenge of living as Christ’s followers in an unholy, fallen ...read more

    The first commandment in the Bible is to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). There is physical fruit, which God was talking about when He commanded Adam & Eve. There is also spiritual fruit, which Paul describes here.

    What makes the Gospel grow? Colossians 1:6 In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. 7 You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful ...read more
