Colossians 4:7-16

Called to be faithful friends

October 15, 2017 • Paul Mowery

As we close out our study in the book of Colossians the Apostle Paul gives us a glimpse into the social lives of the early church believers. What we discover is that they experienced deep and meaningful friendships. In the American church we gather through song and sermon to make a connection to God. But often times what's missing is a connection with each other. God works through His church, therefore if we are to be used by Him it’s necessary to be connected in a meaningful way to His Church. Join us as we finish the book of Colossians learning what being a faithful friend looks like.

The Apostle Paul was excited about was happening in the ancient city of Colossae. He wanted to see the good things that God was doing in and through His people to continue, and so to that end he prays for them. Often, we struggle to know what to pray for when we think about those we care about. Paul offered up four request for those that were on his heart. These same four requests are needed in the lives of believers today. Join us as we start a new verse by verse study in the book of Colossians to discover how to better pray for those that we care about.

Colossians 1:15-20

Every false teacher seeks to make Jesus less than who He is. Many false faiths give Jesus a Prominent position. Prominent means “leading, important, or well-known." But where the Apostle Paul takes us in Colossians chapter one, is Jesus is to be “Preeminent” which means “Above or before others; superior; to be first, hold the first place." Join us in our study of Colossians chapter one to see why Christ is far more than just prominent.

Colossians 1:21-29

August 20, 2017 • Paul Mowery

In the book of Colossians, we are dealing with a church that is under siege from outside forces seeking to move the church away from simple faith in Christ. As we close out our study in chapter one, Paul reminds us once again of who we were and what Christ by His grace has accomplished for us. He refreshes the memory of the Colossians that they have the very best, so why would they move away from it?
