scripture: colossians 1:1-1:14

The church in Colossae in danger of syncretism, which is the combination of several religious practices. The believers in this church were in danger of losing the truth of Christ by forsaking the truth of the Gospel and adopting practices from other religions. Paul wants to remind them of the Gospel that they first heard from Epaphras (v. 5, 7) and so Paul begins to lay out the appropriate responses to the Gospel in verses 9-12. He finishes this section off by reminding them of the truth that we all need to remember each and every day. That God has transferred us from one kingdom to another — the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of the Son. The question for us is, which kingdom are we living for today?

In our consumer-driven culture, we are surrounded by options and choices. When it comes to faith, there is really only one true option. When it comes to the church, we can only have one message. In the opening sermon of a series through the book of Colossians, we look at how the Preeminence of Jesus Christ must not be understated.

In the second part of the series, Jesus Over Everything, Shola focuses on the prayer of Paul.

Week one of our Apollos course on the books of Colossians and Philemon

As Christ followers, we have been rescued from the kingdom of darkness and been given a new identity. Identity from our salvation is not a one-time event; grace is ongoing. God has rescued us, giving us a new identity in Christ and we can share this Good News with others!

Our modern era is not unique in its fascination with angels and the spirit world. The converts to Christ at Colossae also had a strong interest in the subject, but some of them allowed their interest to distract them from their newfound faith in Jesus Christ.

As we begin to go through the book of Colossians, Jesus establishes right away that our love comes from our hope in Jesus Christ. This permeates our entire relationship with Him!

Our proper response to God's sovereign work of grace in our lives is to seek to please Him in every way.
