7. Contending For The Faith Of Others

October 6, 2024 • Afshin Ziafat • Colossians 2:1–7

As followers of Jesus, we all desire to grow in spiritual maturity. A significant part of this growth comes through a deeper knowledge of God and his will for us. In Colossians 2, Paul encourages the believers to look no further than Jesus to gain the knowledge they seek. He also reminds them that such spiritual wisdom should transform their behavior and character.

8. The Fullness Of Christ And Our Fullness In Him

October 13, 2024 • Oren Martin • Colossians 2:8–15

As humans, our natural tendency is to think more of ourselves and less of God than we should. In Colossians 2, Paul shakes his readers awake to the majesty of Jesus, the power of his divinity, and the sheer depths of our sin against him. Through it all, he brings the full gospel into view.

6. Christ In You, The Hope Of Glory

September 29, 2024 • Afshin Ziafat • Colossians 1:24–29

As we continue through our journey in Colossians, we reach a rich set of verses where Paul eloquently explains the source of a believer’s ongoing hope – “Christ in you.” Join us this weekend as we explore this dense and powerful passage.

5. Don't Shift From The Hope of The Gospel

September 22, 2024 • Afshin Ziafat • Colossians 1:21–23

As Paul encourages the Colossian believers in their faith, he demonstrates the unmatched character of Jesus before describing the salvation we have in him. In verses 21-23, he describes Jesus’ work of reconciliation, which presents believers who were once hostile toward God as holy and blameless before him. Paul challenges his readers to remain faithful to this hope.
