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.

Put On the New Self

October 29, 2023 • Matt Holmes • Colossians 3:12–17

In Colossians 3 Paul tells us to put on the "new self" that looks like Jesus. Today we look at verses 12-17, where Paul paints the picture of exactly what that looks like in practice.
