Full in an Empty World

Colossians 2:8-10

April 10, 2022 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • Colossians 2:8–10

Give

In this sermon from Colossians 2:8-10 we see that, as believers, we can be full in Christ in an empty world. We are warned not to be deceived by worldly philosophy, empty deceit, or man-made traditions. We are reminded that full deity dwells in Jesus, that he has absolute power and authority over all, and that we have been filled in him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Walk in Maturity

June 19, 2022 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • Colossians 4:7–18

In this final sermon from the book of Colossians, Pastor Neal reminds us that maturity in Christ is what makes for a godly legacy. He looks at the models of maturity listed by Paul, and the example that they set for us. We are encouraged to walk in maturity as well, by being in the Word daily, serving faithfully, persisting in prayer, and doing all that we’ve been called to do by the strength and power of Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

How Christ Transforms Our Walk

June 12, 2022 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Colossians 4:2–6

In this sermon from Colossians 4:2-6, Pastor Phil looks at how Christ transforms our walk, particularly our prayer life and our witness. As we continue steadfastly in prayer, we are to pray faithfully, seriously, and thankfully. As we look for opportunities to share the gospel, we must remember to be wise, gracious, and winsome. In our daily walk with the Lord, may we express our love for him through a greater desire for prayer, and our love for people through more intentional evangelism and witness. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

How Christ Transforms Our Work

June 5, 2022 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Colossians 3:22—4:1

How should our relationship with Christ transform our work? In this sermon from Colossians 3:22-4:1, Pastor Phil looks at Paul’s instruction to those under authority and those with authority, including how Christ changes the quality and motivation of our work and of our leadership. Whether we are under authority or the one with authority, we ultimately work for one Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, and he has given us the work we have to honor and worship him.
