How God Dresses His Elect, Part 1

Colossians 3:12 Well, we are working our way through Paul’s letter to the Colossians in our study of God’s Word and we are in the third chapter, Colossians 3, verse 12, and you’ll want to turn there in your Bibles, Colossians 3:12. The past two weeks that we’ve been in the study of Colossians, I would just say admittedly, I think they have been unpleasant. Unpleasant two weeks in the text as we’ve studied two vice lists and we’ve seen…

Shedding Bad Behavior

Colossians 3:8-11 I want to ask you to turn your Bibles to Colossians Chapter 3. We are looking at another vice list this morning, and we’re taking another important step in sanctification. Colossians Chapter 3, the section we’re in is Colossians 3:5 through 11, and last week we saw in Colossians 3:5 what sins we need to put to death, what sins we need to mortify and then verses 6 and 7 gave several reasons why we’re eager to target…

Sin in the Crosshairs

Colossians 3:5-7 We are in Colossians chapter 3. Colossians chapter 3, and it’s a most practical portion on the subject of sanctification. We’re looking at Colossians 3:5 through 11.

And in Colossians 2, the section we just finished, Paul, as you know, was confronting the false teachers that were troubling the Colossian…

Seeking Comfort in Christ, Part 2

2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Well, good morning, everyone, I have the joy and privilege of opening God’s word with you again and if you were not here last week, we started really a two-part message on this passage of Scripture out of 2 Corinthians and it’s a passage that reminds us of God’s character and that he is a God of all comfort. He is the source of all comfort when we are afflicted with any kind of trial. And if…

Seeking Comfort in Christ, Part 1

2 Corinthians 1:3-7 It is good to be here with you all this morning. I will be preaching this week and next week, and we’re going to be in the passage out of 2 Corinthians chapter 1. If you’d like to turn there in your copy of God’s Word. We’re going to be in this passage of Scripture for a couple weeks. We live in a society that has become very preoccupied with being at ease, with being comfortable, emotionally…
