Sermons on Colossians

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…

We want to continue our study through the book of Colossians. Many of the things that you just got done singing, Paul is reinforcing, encouraging, and helping the church at Colossa as well as us, and Christians throughout the ages to understand our position and purpose in Jesus Christ. Why did Jesus come to be the penalty for our sins? Why did He call us out of darkness into light? In America, over the last, I don’t know, probably 20,…

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off…

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate…

Songs that we just sang, living for Jesus and take time to be holy. Talk about our relationship with the Lord as believers. Talk about how we should live our lives. Talk about what should be the significance and what is important to us. As Paul is writing this letter to the church at Colossae. Remember I said that there was already false teaching that was coming into the church. That Satan was using to undermine the significance and the importance of the gospel.…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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,…

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…
