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. And as we are going to be looking today at the final two verses of this high and magnificent Christology, we need to stop at this point and ask why is Paul saying all of this about Christ? What’s the point? Paul has a point, an important point…

The Pinnacle of Christ’s Supremacy

Colossians 1:17-18 Well, you can open your Bibles to Colossians chapter 1, as it is our great privilege and joy to study in Colossians 1:15-20, this crystal clear teaching on the true nature of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Before we look at our text, I want to pose a question to you, give you something to think about as we consider the verses that we’re going to look at today. And here’s the question: What narrative has the…

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…

Encouraging a Discouraged Church

Hebrews 1-13 Go ahead and take your Bibles and turn right over to Hebrews for what we’re going to do together, move through the entire book of Hebrews. I just want to give you a little bit of a running introduction. Over the past couple weeks, we’ve introduced the book of Hebrews and we’ve covered it, some matters of introduction. So it’s genre, authorship, recipients, occasion, even took a stab at the date of Hebrews, and here’s what we’ve come…

What a Worthy Walk Looks Like

Colossians 1:10-12 Well, as we turn to God’s Word this morning, you can open your Bibles to Colossians 1, which is Paul’s prayer report for the Colossians. So encouraging, strengthening, aspirational, and really, it’s worth reflecting on the power of giving prayer reports like Paul has done here. It’s a good, profitable, deeply encouraging thing, when more mature Christians tell less mature Christians that they are praying for them and how they are praying for them. Now, if some Christian…

Who Are These Hebrews

All right. We are starting into, as you know, a study of Hebrews and just getting started with some introductory matters, such as who wrote this letter to the Hebrews, to whom he wrote, when he wrote it, for what reason. And so we’re going to get into that more tonight, four points in total. So two last week and two more for tonight. I’m going to, just going to review very quickly the two we covered last week, starting…
