Your spirit has been reborn and you are brand new, now do these things:
Set your affections on things above
Set your mind on things above
Why? Because you're old man is dead and the new man does these things
Put to death evil deeds - STOP doing them now
Experience Renewal
Put do death the root causes of evil deeds
Clothe yourself with righteousness - this is the new man

Colossians 1:9-14 (10/3/19)
October 3, 2019 • Benham Brothers
* Paul saw himself as a father to those he wrote to. * These verses give us a great outline on what to pray for for our kids: * 1) vs 9 - God would fill them with the knowledge of His will - he wanted them to experience it through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. * 2) vs 10a - They would life a life worthy fo the Lord and please Him in every way. * 3) vs 10b - They would please Him in all respects. * 4) vs 10c - They would bear fruit in every good work - to stay connected to the source so they could be nourishment for others. * 5) vs 10d - They would grow in the knowledge of God - experiential knowledge. * 6) vs 11 - They would be strengthened with power so they will endure. * 7) vs 12a - They would live thankfully. * 8) vs 12b - They would know they are qualified to share in the inheritance of the saints - they get the same reward as all the heroes of our faith. * 9) vs 13-14 - They would recognize what Christ did for them.
Colossians 1:17 (10/8/20)

* An entrepreneur is an intercessor - someone who intervenes on someone’s behalf. * They “stand in the gap” between a person and a problem - they bring a solution. * God calls all of us to stand in the gap and bring connection between God and people. * Jesus was the ultimate gap-stander. * Vs 17 - laminar is a cell adhesion molecule that acts like glue to hold cells together. * Without it we literally fall apart. * It’s like the re-bar inside of concrete. * Google “laminen” and see what shape it’s in. * It’s in the shape of the cross!
Colossians 1:28 (10/5/17)
October 5, 2017 • Benham Brothers
* I’ve heard a lot of people say they want to be known for what they are “for,” not what they are “against.” * Paul obliterates this type of thinking. * Paul says we are to do two things: * 1) Warn - you have to tell people what to stay away from. * 2) Teach - you have to tell people what to move toward. * Warning others is what makes a person fatherly (or motherly). * Paul said in 1 Corinthians 4 that we have many teachers but few fathers. * A father is willing to tell the truth (and so is a good doctor).
