Every Christian’s Testimony

Colossians 1:21-23 Please turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter 1 as we come to verses 21 to 23, which is a text that really tells every Christian’s origin story. And also, this text predicts every Christian’s happy ending. So we might call this every Christian’s testimony. This is every Christian’s testimony, Colossians 1, verses 21 to 23. We have been in the classroom the last few weeks with the Apostle Paul learning in Paul’s three-week course on Christology in…

All Things Reconciled

Colossians 1:19-20 Well, turn to Colossians 1 in your Bibles, and we are studying the doctrine of Christ from Colossians 1:15-20 as Paul is portraying Christ in his unparalleled and universal supremacy.

The Divine Agent of Creation

Colossians 1:15-16 Well, you can open your Bibles to Paul’s letter to the Colossians, and we’re coming into what is the defining passage of Colossians, what Colossians is known for. It’s the most comprehensive and yet condensed teaching on Christology really in all the New Testament, which is Colossians 1:15 through 20. We’re just going to get into the first couple of verses for our exposition this morning, but I can tell you it’s going to be theologically deep, christologically…

God’s Will to Save Us

Colossians 1:12-14 Well, we are in the opening chapter of Paul’s letter to the Colossians, and I invite you to turn there. Open, there, in your Bibles as we consider just a few verses this morning along this same theme of redemption. Colossians 1:12 to 14 will be our text and that will prepare our hearts to celebrate the Lord’s table. The theme this morning is redemption, or we could say gratitude for our redemption, just as we heard in…
