    Lessons From Paul's Salutations

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2015
     | 4,613 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

     | 7,851 views

    The chief religions of Paul’s time included Gnosticism, stressing gnosis as essential to salvation, viewing matter as evil, and combining ideas derived from mythology, ancient Greek philosophy, ancient religions, and, eventually, Christianity.

    "What Makes The Church Beautiful?"

    The message shares what makes us beautiful it is faith in Christ, Love, endurance, and God the one who enables.

    What makes us Beautiful? Colossians 1:1-14 1. Note the first thing Paul shares is he does not address the letter to the church he addresses the letter to the Saints • 2 To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters* in Christ in Colossae: 2. The First ...read more

    What is the answer for a church drifting toward embracing the CULTURE over CHRIST? The ANSWER is CHRIST!

    In a previous message I made the following statement: “The great spiritual challenge for our generation is whether we will obey God in areas where the Bible and culture are opposed.” Our world is changing. It’s more than human technological progress. Our values are changing. ...read more

     | 4,631 views

    The gospel message ofJesus Christ is the essence of teaching by those of the early Church. The question is, How do we respond to that Gospel message? The Church at Colossae received it, sent it out, and found it to be the Power of God.

     | 9,847 views

    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

    “You did not choose me,” said Jesus, “but I chose you” (John 15:16). Here, right at the outset of the letter is the whole doctrine of grace. “A MAN IS NOT WHAT HE HAS MADE HIMSELF, BUT WHAT GOD HAS MADE HIM.”

    The thanksgiving in Colossians, addressed to "God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"—that is, the God whom Jesus Christ has revealed to us as Father—is woven around three short but very important words, which we are given in verse 4.

    The church in Colossae was not a remarkable church, in fact, most people would have said its best days were gone.

    Colossians 1 Faithful and Not Forgotten August 12, 2018 This letter is full of epic and evocative language and is one of Paul’s shortest. Have you ever felt overlooked?
