This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Examining verses 4-10 of the 2nd Chapter of Colossians we discussed the Ironic Simplicity of the Christ Centered life. Continuing his assault on the heresies that plagued the church in Colossae, Paul wrote to the Colossians encouraging them to 1) Know what they believed; 2) Walk in Him; and 3) Live thankful. In a time in which many were abandoning [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. It has been quite awhile since our last opportunity to think on the events of the past Sunday. Days drag on, things get crazy and this pastor has been delinquent…My apologies. Yesterday we launched into a significant turning point in our study of the book of Colossians. After Paul had spent the majority of the 1st Chapter examining who Christ [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Continuing our study in Colossians we looked at what it means to Be Who we are in Christ. Specifically we looked at Colossians 1:9-14. We noted that being who we are in Christ means: 1) Being Filled with the Knowledge of God; 2) Walking Worthy of the Lord; and 3) Remembering what Happened. Being filled with the knowledge of God [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think; an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Last Sunday we began to dig into Paul’s letter to the Colossian Church. We looked primarily at 3 Marks of the Real Gospel. Drawing from Colossians 1:3-8 we saw first that the Gospel is Visible; secondly the Gospel is Visual; and finally, the Gospel is Viral. In all of these we noted that it is essential we know who God [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think an opportunity for us to continue to think about the events of last Sunday. This is coming a bit late, it being Friday and all. I’m still trying to find my groove as far as Sermon Prep, blog attention and the like is concerned. Next weeks Re: should come much sooner, hopefully on Monday. Last Sunday we opened our series on Colossians and discussed in detail; who Paul is, what the Colossian church is [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think; an opportunity for us to continue to think about the events of last Sunday. This past Sunday we spoke about The Gospel, noting that the word Gospel itself means “good news”. “The Gospel” is a word that appears over 70 times in the New Testament with the form of “to preach the Gospel” appearing over 50. With that in mind we can see “The Good News” is something very important to God. We noted [...]
This is our Sunday Re: Think an opportunity for us to continue to think about the events of last Sunday. This past Sunday we spoke of the difference that our God makes, and what Jesus thought the most important commandments are. For Jesus the Shema of Israel was the foundation for how we relate to God: ” Hear oh Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your [...]
