    Paul promotes the purposes of prayer as Watchfulness, Thankfulness and Effectiveness.

    42 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; ...read more

    Developing The Outward Focus Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 17, 2014
     | 4,117 views

    Paul has addressed our personal lives, church life, family life. These are introverted concerns, about us and those we are close to. As he concludes his letter, he wants to make sure we also transition to an extroverted focus.

    Developing the Outward Focus (Colossians 4:2-6) 1. I have my taxes all done. I am one of those persons who gets stressed up by paper work and red tape, so I found it stressful just preparing my stuff for the tax preparer. So I have to tell an IRS joke. 2. The pastor got a call form the IRS. ...read more

    The Book of Colossians covers some very important topics. None are more important than what we are going to cover in this passage of scripture. This passage of scripture has a great deal to say about PRAYER.

    Many of the things we hear today about PRAYER, have to do with the fact that prayer is a No! No! For example, Carolyn Copeland gives us this story in the Christian Reader. - The daughter of our pastor was asked to give the closing prayer at her high school graduation. A Jewish student was asked to ...read more

    Persevere Even If It Gets Hard

    Believers are encouraged to not lose heart and give up, even in the face of trials and difficulties. To continue in the faith we should continue doing good toward others, continue in prayer, and continue in the word.

    I take as our subject today, the call in Scripture to persevere—to steadfastly continue in the faith no matter what happens.. Some of you have walked with the Lord for many years. You have fought some battles. You have not done it perfectly, but you have continued to follow the Lord. You have ...read more

    In Colossians 4, Paul provides believers with a three-point battle plan for a successful and satisfying prayer life.

    The Battle Plan (1) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 4/3/2016 There was a pastor who had a pet parrot. All the parrot would say was, “Let’s kiss. Let’s kiss.” The pastor tried to teach him to say other things but to no avail. He learned that one of his deacons had a parrot. ...read more

    This is a follow-up sermon from watching the film, Case For Christ the week before. This sermon does not go into all the evidences but rather looks at a couple of verses regarding sharing our faith with some statements and insights from the film.

    THE CASE FOR CHRIST Last week we watched the film, Case For Christ, based on the book of the same name by Lee Strobel. Lee was a Journalist for the Chicago Tribune. He was also an atheist. Then his wife started going to church. When he saw the changes taking place in her he was curious enough to ...read more

    What should I focus on as I pray?

    In our passage for today, Paul seeks to encourage the Colossians about their prayer life. In so doing, he shares with them the characteristics of the prayer life a Christian should devote himself to. This is the kind of praying that is sure to please God. 1. Perceptive praying - v. 2a “being ...read more

    New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

    To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more
