In the past couple of messages, we looked at Apostle Paul's instructions for the Christian household (and workplace). For our final message in Colossians, we're looking at how to behave outside of the household, particularly with "outsiders," a...

As the Apostle Paul continues talking about the Christian household, he moves on to what the text calls "bondservants." Though not a direct equivalent, our modern day employee is about the closest we can get culturally in 21st century America t...

In this passage, Paul guided by the Holy Spirit, describes the Christian household. One of the more controversial passages in our culture, what does "submit" really mean? How do husbands interact with their wives? Children, parents? 

When it comes to "setting our minds," what we commit to, what we seek, what we think about constantly affects the way we live. We will orient everything we do going forward around what our minds are on. This is why it's so crucial to follow the...

Nobody likes ridiculous requirements! They're unfair and often impossible to maintain. In our Christian walk, we can get caught up in ridiculous requirements too when we try to earn our own righteousness. Grab your Bibles, turn them to Colossia...

Artificial intelligence has been talked about for decades but in recent years, it has arrived and seems to be here to stay. This has many people worried. How should Christians view it? What does it mean for us? What does it mean for jobs? Will ...

Paul prays for the church of Colossae and one of the big things he prays is that they would "walk in a manner worthy of the Lord." Thankfully, he expounds on what that means. Are you walking in a manner worthy of the Lord? There's a way to asse...

God gives image bearers (us) what are called "communicable attributes." I think of these as "common gifts" that God bestows on everyone as something we share with God. God is creative, and we are creative. God likes to build, we like to build. ...

Disclaimer: this passage brings forth the topic of alcohol use. Recognizing my precarious position of teaching youth, I wanted to balance my treatment on the topic carefully. Scripture never calls consumption alone sin, but I certainly don't wa...

How does a jeweler make diamonds look so good? He sets them against a dark background so their shininess stands out! It stands out because it's so vastly different from its background. As Christians, if we're walking with God, trusting and obey...

Genesis 6:1-8 is one of the most perplexing passages in the entire Old Testament! Who are these "Nephilim?" Though I certainly discuss them, the more important thing is the contrast between how man and fallen angels see sin versus how God sees ...

Have you ever come across a genealogy in the Bible? You know, the part where it says "and so and so fathered so and so" and it's a long list of ancestry. Many people are tempted to skip these but there's a ton of value to them, even if it doesn...

Are you familiar with "empty calories?" Basically, things we eat that have no real value. They won't poison you, they just don't offer much for your body. I think in the same way, our minds and our hearts consume empty calories too. What's the ...

Adam and Eve sinned big time. Because of this, God promised that they would surely die. But praise be to God, they don't die immediately. In the midst of judgment and death, God is incredibly gracious to creation's first two people and first tw...

In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve are approached by a snake (Satan) who presents a major challenge to their understanding of God's word. How do they respond? How do we respond when we're faced with temptation? Open your Bible and tune in to f...
