    Colossians 1:3-8 - What you Already have in Christ

    We'd love to hear from you. Message us here. “Jesus is good, but you need more.” That idea sounds harmless until you see what it does to a church, and to your own heart. We open Colossians chapter 1 with the backstory: Paul writes from house arrest after Epaphras reports a dangerous drift in Colossae. Some voices are pushing Greek philosophy and “secret” spiritual knowledge. Others are pushing religious legalism and Jewish traditions. Different packaging, same hook: Jesus plus something else. We slow down in Colossians 1:3-8 and focus on what God has already produced in these believers: faith in Christ, love for all the saints, and hope laid up in heaven. We talk about what real faith looks like when it changes the way you live, why agape love is truly supernatural, and how Christian hope is confidence about what’s ahead, not an “I wish” feeling. If you feel like you are always shopping for the next thing to fix you, Paul’s reminder lands like a reset button: you may not be lacking, you may be forgetting. Then we follow Paul’s logic to the source of fruit: the truth of the gospel. The good news of Jesus is not a slogan, it is a living seed that brings new birth and real spiritual growth. We also get painfully practical about what stunts that growth, using Matthew 13 and the parable of the sower: the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches can choke the Word until it becomes unfruitful. We round it out with Galatians 5, contrasting the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, and we end with a prayer for soft hearts and lasting change. If this helped you re-center on Jesus, subscribe for more Bible study through Colossians, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    Colossians 1:1 - What If God’s Will Is Not Hidden?

    We'd love to hear from you. Message us here. Most of us want God’s will like a GPS: tell me the exact address, the fastest route, and the safest turn-by-turn plan. But Paul’s opening words in Colossians pull us in a different direction: he’s an apostle of Jesus Christ “by the will of God.” That phrase forces a better question than “Which option should I pick?” It asks, “Am I actually living under God’s leadership, or am I just looking for divine approval for what I already want?” We walk through six places where the Bible flat-out says “this is the will of God” so you’re not left guessing. We talk about God’s desire that people be saved, what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and why Spirit-led living shows up in painfully practical places like your words, your gratitude, your marriage, your parenting, and your work. We also connect Ephesians 5 with Colossians 3 to show how letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly goes hand-in-hand with being led by the Spirit. Then we hit the parts people usually skip: sanctification and putting away sin, respecting governing authorities and leadership, and the reality that suffering for doing good can be God’s will too. We end with a freeing principle from Psalm 37:4 and Proverbs 3:5-6: when you delight yourself in the Lord and trust Him with all your heart, your desires change and your path gets directed. If this helped you rethink God’s will in a grounded, biblical way, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s facing a big decision, and leave a review. Which of the six “slam dunk” statements about God’s will do you need most right now? https://www.facebook.com/ablossombiblechurch

    Colossians 1:1-2 - Intro to the book

    We'd love to hear from you. Message us here. Peace is everywhere on merch, in slogans, and in our wish list for life, but Paul starts somewhere else. We open Colossians with just two verses and find a surprisingly complete roadmap: grace first, then peace. That order isn’t a religious detail. It’s a claim about how lasting peace with God and peace in our hearts actually happens, rooted in what Jesus has done rather than what we can manage on our own. We also zoom out to why Paul writes Colossians at all. The big theme is “life in Christ,” and Paul uses an image you can’t unsee: the church is a body and Jesus is the Head. You can’t keep the body alive while swapping out the Head, which is why Paul pushes for the preeminence of Christ, Jesus in first place. From there we talk about the kinds of false teaching that creep in, including the lure of secret knowledge (early Gnosticism) and the pressure of legalism that turns faith into a checklist. Then we slow down again and look at the people in the greeting: Paul, Timothy, the believers in Colossae, and the stunning word Paul uses for ordinary Christians, “saints.” We connect it to the cross and to Galatians 2:20, where faith means being united with Christ in His death and resurrection. If you’ve ever felt tempted to “upgrade” Jesus with something extra, this is your reminder to hold on to the only source of real life.
