Colossians #3: "Peace for the World that God so Loves" - October 27, 2013

Colossians #3: "Peace for the World that God so Loves"
Text: Colossians 1:19-27
As we continue with our study in Paul's letter to the Colossians, we are reminded that God, in Jesus, was reconciling the world to Himself. If the fullness of God is pleased to dwell in Jesus, and if the hope of glory is Christ in us, then we also have been given this ministry of reconciliation.

Colossians #2: Seeing the Invisible - October 6, 2013

Colossians #2: "Seeing the Invisible"
Text: Colossians 1:15-20, 27

If Christ is the image of the invisible God, then we can trust the manner in which Christ reveals the Divine Nature. He is a faithful embodiment because God was pleased to have his fullness dwell within Jesus. Today's watching world doesn't need a vigorous defense of the Gospel as much as they need to see "Christ in you, the hope of glory," for if Christ is in you, then you are the embodiment of the Gospel.
