The Purpose Driven Life

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Well, it was a joy to be able to open the Word of God with you all this morning. We’re going to be in the book of 1 Corinthians, so if you want to turn there now, please do so. But by way of introduction, I want to start just with a little bit of cultural context. We all, as Americans and really as most the citizens of the world, we’re familiar with the Olympic Games. Many…

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. 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…

A Brief Primer on Angelology

Hebrews 1:5-14 I want to welcome you back as we return to our study of Hebrews. We have covered the introductory section, verses 1 to 4, and we are now looking at the first argument that the pastor makes here in Hebrews that Christ is superior to all of God’s servants. The pastor starts in his argument that Christ is superior to all God’s servants by speaking of Christ’s superiority over the angels in chapter 1, verse 5 all the…

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 Supremacy of the Son

Hebrews 1:3-4 I want to invite you to turn in your Bibles to the book of Hebrews. We’re going to finish up that opening section, the introductory section in verses 1 to 4 of Hebrews chapter 1. Let me go ahead and read that. Just to start us off. Hebrews 1:1 to 4. “God, having spoken long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days, spoke to us in His…

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 Final Word

Hebrews 1:1-2 Greetings everyone. We’re just at the cusp of this study of Hebrews, Hebrews chapter 1, and you can think of chapter 1, verses 1 through 4 as opening salvo, as he enters into this theme of the supremacy of Christ in all things. Could really put that as a title for the book of Hebrews, the supremacy of Christ in all things. And if we kind of want to put this in its larger context, we can kind…
