Sermons on Colossians 1:27-28:

How Is Suffering More Than A Curse?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 17, 2025

Saul was a very, very good Jew. He saw the emerging Church in the months after the first Pentecost as a threat on multiple levels.

Sixteenth Sunday in Course 2025 Let’s begin with a question that I believe every follower of Christ should ask, early or late in our discipleship: Am I proud to be a Christian? What does that even mean? “Proud to be a Christian.” We feel pride in our own accomplishments, that is the good ones. ...read more

Christ At The Center

Contributed by Patty Groot on Jul 31, 2025

In a world full of shifting values and unstable truths, we need an anchor. Colossians 1 gives us one: Jesus Christ is not just part of the story; He is the Author of the story. This early confession of faith shows us the truth about Jesus.

Paul doesn’t begin this passage with practical advice or even spiritual encouragement. He starts with awe—with a hymn, a bold declaration of who Jesus is. Before we get to what we should do, Paul reminds us of who Christ is. This passage, Colossians 1:15–20, is considered one of the earliest ...read more

When God Came To Stay Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on May 29, 2024

God's plan has always been to dwell among His people, and He has fulfilled this through the prophecy of a new covenant, the promise of the Holy Spirit, and the power displayed at Pentecost.

I Shall Not Be Moved

Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 13, 2026

Reconciliation is already settled in Christ; believers are called to remain grounded in that hope, endure suffering with meaning, and labor without anxiety.

It was a small town in the Lycus Valley. It used to matter more than it did by the time Paul ...read more

Ministry To The Church Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 6, 2026

Colossians 1:24-29 teaches us that God has called each believer to a specific ministry in the church, and it is through our willing participation in Christ’s work in us that we can effectively minister to others.

Introduction What should ministry to the church look like today? We are currently studying Paul’s letter to the Colossians in a series I am calling, “The Peerless Christ.” A man by the name of Epaphras had most likely been converted under Paul’s three-year ministry in Ephesus from 52 to 55 ...read more
