Sermons on Colossians
Colossians 1:15-24, Giving Account
This morning, if you have your Bibles, it will turn me to Colossians. We want to continue our study through Colossians, as we’ve been looking at this letter that Paul has written, not only to the church at Colossae, but that the Holy Spirit preserved for us as well. And it was also a letter that was passed from church to church, as the Scriptures of the New Testament was being written and assembled. As we started this letter, one of the things that…
Colossians 2:8-17, Beware some preach a different Jesus
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the…
Colossians 2:1-10, Beware of Deceit
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.…
Colossians 1:21-29; 2:1-10, Rooted and Grounded in Him
This morning, if you have your Bibles, we want to continue our study through the book of Colossians. If you’d turn with me, we want to pick it up where we left off last week in Colossians chapter 1. The Apostle Paul, as we have been studying in the book of Colossians, is writing to the church at Colossae as well as the other churches in that area. I believe in the lesson today we’ll get to a verse where he actually makes reference to…
Colossians 1:15-23, Reconciled to God
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning,…
Colossians 1:1-14, Join Pastor Glenn Knudson in a study in Colossians
The book of Colossians was written to the church at Colossae by the Apostle Paul. And it was written while he was imprisoned during his first imprisonment. To give you a little background, Paul was not the one who planted the church at Colossae. Colossae is located approximately a little over 100 miles east of Ephesus. Ephesus sits on a port. And Ephesus was one of the main cities of Macedonia at that time. And Colossae had been a city…
Colossians 3:12-17, Part 2, Bearing Injuries, Patience
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be…
Colossians 4:7-11
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: 8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; 9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. 10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye…
Colossians 4:2-6
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every…
Colossians 3:18-25, The Home and The Workplace
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,…
Colossians 4:1, Paul an apostle and prisoner
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, Colossians 4:1 1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: 3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 Hearing of thy love…
Colossians 3:22-4:1, Employers and Employees
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Colossians 3:22-25…
