Effective Teams

Mike Sullivan

Colossians 4:7-18

Through Paul and his team we learn qualities that make a team effective. Qualities that made them effective were their faithfulness, growth in their roles, giving each other second chances, serving together, fighting together, praying for each other, challenging each other, and loving each other. There was genuine love and closeness. These are qualities that we can develop with the people we serve with. Effective followers of God are on teams and never working alone. Who is your team? What qualities can be developed to be more effective in God's work?

I Have My Doubts (Part 2)

Jim Leffel

Colossians 4:7-18

Painful experiences, shattered expectations, and a lack of sensing God's presence can all lead to a crisis of hope. A crisis of hope can open the door to doubt. Doubts are not uncommon to the great people of faith in the Bible. God allows his people to come places of extreme need so that their faith will be tested and strengthened into a faith that can't be shaken.

Speaking For God

Scott Risley

Colossians 4:2-18

As Christians, we have been entrusted as ambassadors of God's message of forgiveness through Jesus. As we go out and try to tell others about Jesus and his offer of forgiveness, there are some principles that can assist us in this work from God: 1) devotion to prayer; 2) speaking in a way that accurately reflects Christ; and 3) exhibiting wise and authentic behavior to those who don't know Jesus.

Becoming Who You Are

Scott Risley

Colossians 3:1-11

Living out of who God says we are includes focusing on our new identity and putting off the "old" self and way of living. Spiritual growth often results from thanking God for what He's done for us and relating to others in the new way He offers. As we focus in faith on who God says we are, gradually our behavior will reflect our inward beliefs.

The Key to Spiritual Growth

Scott Risley

Colossians 2:4-15

Growing with God doesn't happen by human effort, but reflecting on the new identity we have in Christ. By knowing and believing in our new identity, our lives can become characterized by gratitude and being rooted in God's truth about what He says about us, which will keep us from being carried away by false teachings.

Avoiding Capture

Ryan Lowery

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Paul is warning and encouraging the Christians in Colossae of the ideas competing for their faith and how to avoid being captured. Four ways to avoid being captured by false ideologies: 1) come to Christ; 2) assess your own vulnerabilities; 3) walk by grace in faith; 4) stay rooted in the Word and community. The love of God changes and motivates our hearts. Evaluate what motivates you to follow God and His ways. Be moved by what His love has done. His love is a safeguard to legalism and worship of self.\r\n

Four Insights Into the Gospel

Gary DeLashmutt

Colossians 1:1-8

Paul thanks God for the faith of the Colossians, namely that they had received the Gospel (the message that Jesus is the Messiah and through His death we can be forgiven by God). He also rejoices that this Gospel had begun to change their lives by imparting peace with God, hope for eternal life and the ability to love others. The Gospel spreads through people who have been changed by it, so if that describes you, go tell others this great message!
