    The More You Know‬ ‭

    Colossians 1:9-14 | Ben Potloff | Paul did not establish and probably never visited the church at Colossae. He was imprisoned in Rome when he wrote this letter. Regardless of his circumstances and the absence of a historical or physical connection, Paul knew that he had a relationship with these believers – they had the same Father. He, along with Timothy, prayed for them. Paul was thankful for their dedication to Jesus and their love for other believers. He reminded them of the truth of Jesus Christ that they had put their faith in and affirmed the Gospel was bearing fruit in their lives and throughout the world. MAIN IDEA God equips those He qualified. OUTLINE I. God gives the knowledge we need to walk in his will (vv. 9-10) II. God gives the strength we need to walk in his will (v. 11) III. God gives the redemption we need to live in his light (vv. 12-14) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What was Paul “praying without ceasing” on behalf of the Colossian church for? Are those the same things we pray on behalf of our body? Should we tweak or switch how we pray? 2. Read verses 10-11. Have you tried to “perform all Paul’s requests without the power of the Holy Spirit? How did it turn out? 3. How is this opening statement in Paul’s letter (verses 9-14), a battle cry against false teaching that the Colossian church was in the middle of? Is that how you would have approached a friend or loved one in the throes of a spiritual battle? 4. Have you ever had to be “qualified” for some job or task? Some qualifications can be rigorous. How does it feel to be fully qualified by God as His inheritance? 5. If you are a Christian, you have been delivered from the Kingdom of darkness and transferred to the Kingdom of His beloved Son. Give some before and after snapshots of what that looks like. Take some time to express your thankfulness for that transfer.

    Fruitful

    Colossians 1:1-8 | Ben Potloff | A special relationship existed between Paul, Timothy, and the Christians in and around Colossae. Considering Colossian, you are faced with the beauty of a local church established in the gospel and growing in the grace of the Lord Jesus. In the opening of the letter, we see the power of the grace of God in the lives of his people. MAIN IDEA The gospel bears fruit. OUTLINE I. Faith and love come from the hope of the gospel (vv. 1-5a) II. Faith and love come from the hearing of the gospel (vv. 5b-8) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Paul starts this letter by stating his apostleship and appointment by the will of God. Why is it important for the reader to understand Paul’s role and authority? Does Paul continue to expound on his authority throughout the letter? What other aspects of his relationship with the church does he write about in these opening verses? What effect would this have on the Colossian believers? 2. This letter is written to believers, fellow Christians who have already placed their faith in Christ, though not directly through Paul’s ministry. Does this influence how Paul addresses them? How does Paul feel about these people? What can we learn from this and apply to our own interactions with others? 3. Paul prayed for the believers at Colossae with love, appreciation, and dedication, though he didn’t know them as individuals. What are effective ways we can pray beyond our circles of family and friends? How can we make praying for people we don’t know more personal and meaningful? Does praying for people we don’t know change how we think and feel about them? 4. In verses 4-8, Paul describes a few characteristics of the Colossians that show the sincerity of their faith in Jesus. What attributes in our lives demonstrate the authenticity of our relationship with Jesus? Does recognizing Christ in the lives of people around you encourage your own commitment? 5. Why is it important for the Gospel to always be bearing fruit in our lives? What does being fruitful mean? How can we evaluate this in ourselves? What are key requirements for being fruitful?

    Sweet

    Psalm 133:1-3 | Ben Potloff | "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!" Unity, harmony, and community are all universally understood to be good things, but we often see our world marked more clearly by division, strife, and isolation. King David pens this psalm to reveal God's will for life to be lived in brotherly unity. Here, we see that where the Lord rules, unity reigns. MAIN IDEA God-given unity is sweet. OUTLINE I. Unity in the Lord is precious (vv. 1-2) II. Unity in the Lord is provided (v. 2-3)

    Truly Great

    Psalm 145:1-21 | Ben Potloff | "I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever." King David declares God's goodness and righteousness and the Lord's worthiness of our worship. David then announces his response to such a great God, and we see that we are to follow suit in how we praise the Lord. MAIN IDEA The greatness of God propels the praise of His people. OUTLINE I. God’s greatness is seen in His gracious acts II. God’s greatness is seen in His glorious reign

    A Cry For Help

    Psalm 116:1-19 | Ben Potloff | "I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy." How far gone is too far? What extreme need or danger is too much for God to handle? The truth is that there is no distance, no threat of death, no enemy, and no affliction that is too much for God to handle. In Psalm 116, we see that the Lord hears the prayers of his people and he rescues them. MAIN IDEA Our deliverer deserves devotion. OUTLINE I. The Lord delivers from death (vv. 1-11) II. The delivered devote their lives (vv. 12-19)

    Making The Cut

    Psalm 15:1-5 | Max Janusch | "O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?" This psalm asks a profound question and offers a simple answer. Who will dwell with God? Simply put, the righteous one will. This psalm reveals a predicament for all, who are guilty of sin, but points to the greatest hope of humanity. MAIN IDEA The righteous get to be with God. OUTLINE I. God is set apart. (v. 1) II. God expects perfection. (vv. 2-5a) III. God preserves his people. (v. 5b)

    Comfort Zone

    Psalm 23:1-6 | Ben Potloff  | "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures." What does confidence and trust in the Lord sound like? It sounds like King David's words in Psalm 23. Here, we see the hope that people of God have in the one who leads, comforts, protects, and saves. MAIN IDEA The Shepherd’s presence is my constant comfort. OUTLINE I. The Lord’s care is personal (vv. 1-5) II. The Lord’s care is perpetual (vv. 6)

    Judgment Day

    Psalm 82:1-8 | Gavin Hesse | "Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!" We often downplay or altogether ignore God's role as judge. However, for God's people, his judgment promises deliverance and an end to wickedness. In Psalm 82, we see a picture of the hope and security that we have in the Lord. MAIN IDEA The Lord’s perfect justice offers rescue. OUTLINE I. The heavenly judge calls for perfect rule. II. Sinful leaders create chaos. III. The heavenly judge will return.
