Sunday Morning

Colossians 1:28-29 Paul gives a great overview of what faithfulness in the ministry looks like. In particular, there are three main ingredients in shepherding with a sense of purpose.

Colossians 1:24-27 Though specifically about Paul’s ministry, we discover in this passage the very heart of what ministry is about still today. It provides for us three non-negotiable characteristics a faithful minister must exhibit if he is seeking to be pleasing to the Lord.

Colossians 1:21-23 After identifying Christ’s pre-eminence over life, we now see the relation of Christ to individual people. More specifically, this is a reminder of what was, is, and will be accomplished because of Christ’s atoning work.

Colossians 1:18-20 The pre-eminence of Christ over every order of being is repeated in different terms. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ and His subjugation, the Father is well-pleased to offer the solution to the enmity of the world.

Colossians 1:12-14 After Paul prays for the Colossians’ “suitable conduct,” he begins to details what this consists of. He provides four marks of a pleasing, worthy life.

Colossians 1:9-12 After Paul prays for the Colossians’ “suitable conduct,” he begins to details what this consists of. He provides four marks of a pleasing, worthy life.

Colossians 1:9-12 The content of Paul’s prayer for the Colossians reveals two requests that we likewise are to make when it comes to praying for the needs of others. We should pray for profound knowledge and suitable conduct.
