The Firstborn of Creation

Paul expects the Colossians to make a serious, total commitment to Jesus Christ. But is Jesus worth such complete loyalty? Can he trusted to keep his promises? Is he really so different from all the other powers in this world?

A Prickle of Porcupines

November 19, 2023 • Matt Holmes • Colossians 4:7–18

The last 11 verses of Colossians are a series of notes to and from individuals involved with the church in Colossae. While these notes may seem unimportant, they give a glance behind the scenes of the early church, and we see that one thing has always been true about the church: it is a thoroughly-mixed bag.

The Final Instructions

November 12, 2023 • Matt Holmes • Colossians 4:2–6

In Colossians 4:2-6, Paul lays out his final instructions for the church in Colossae. How can they maintain their loyalty to Jesus and his resurrection way of life? How can they participate in the spread of the Gospel?

The Eternal Perspective

November 5, 2023 • Matt Holmes • Colossians 3:18—4:1

Colossians 3:18-4:1 is one of the more controversial passages in the New Testament today. Why doesn't Paul call for the abolition of oppression? Why does he tell Christians to submit? In this week's sermon we'll see how Paul is working from a radically different perspective than most people.
