Colossians
Know They Care, Care What They Know
There’s an old saying that “nobody cares what you know unless they know that you care”. So be encouraged by your leaders in Christ, because they care about you. Know their struggle and receive their greetings. And when you’ve been encouraged, pass it on!
Salt Shakers
As we abound in thankfulness that God has transferred us from the domain of darkness to the kingdom of his beloved Son (Colossians 1:13), we now have the privilege of making the mystery of Christ known to others. Paul gives us two ways to do that in Colossians 4:2-6: by persevering in prayer and walking in wisdom.
Family Matters
What does the really spiritual life look like? It may surprise you to find that it consists in how husbands and wives, children and fathers, and bosses and employees relate to one another.
Real ID
In Christ we have all we need to grow to full maturity, but how do we, in Christ, actually do that? We learn the basic answer in this passage.
Always Enough
There are always voices around us telling us we need more than Christ, and in this passage we learn why we shouldn’t let any of them convince us.
Walk This Way
When we don’t feel fulfilled in our Christian lives, it’s tempting to look elsewhere. But here we see that we continue with Christ just as we began with Christ.
Marks of a Gospel Minister
Who would listen to a guy writing from prison, whose life was marked by so much suffering? In this passage we see that we can trust the proclamation of Christ that comes to us from the apostles.
King of What?
Gospel Encouragement
As Paul begins his letter to the Colossians, he knows they’re being tempted to think that living by faith in Christ “isn’t working”. But here he shows them how God is at work in them through the gospel, and how there is still more for God to do.
