Teach Me To Fly

Colossians 3:12-17

If I could set the tone and the flavor of this message I would tell you it’s “Positive!” BUT it’s instructive. Because Paul calls us to live on a higher plain by surrendering what hurts us FOR what helps us! Why is it that we get so anchored down in our routines & habits even when they are NOT helping us!?! These verses take us from frustration to fulfillment from trash to treasure if you will.

Stopping Bad Decisions

Today we kick off a new study in the book of Colossians; This letter was written about 3-years after the book of Romans some where around (60AD - 62 AD). This morning the only reason we want to know the time frame is so we can see where Paul was at in his life. We get to see that change is possible! A guy that was NOT welcome in church becomes the one who cares for the church!

Jesus Is The Center

Today we dive right into the main thrust of this letter the preeminence of Christ! This topic lays the foundation of what we believe and it also combats the false philosophy’s of any age. Point being, the theological topics in Colossians are important to grow in as we live out our Christian Faith.

He's Number One

Last week we learned why the topic of Preeminence took center stage with the believers in Colossae. They were immature & needed to be grounded in the faith. They were being harassed & confused by heretical doctrines and Paul wanted to see them succeed (strengthened). So too, our understanding of Biblical truths directly affect the way we live our lives because we live out what we believe. We've seen the Superiority of Christ in Creation (vv.15-17), and in the Church (vv.18-23) Today we see the Superiority of Christ in our individual lives & ministries. Paul magnifies three particular points: 1) Suffering for Christ (1:24) 2) Proclaiming Christ (1:25-28) 3) Depending on Christ (1:29)
