The Freedom of Jesus | Colossians: The Fullness of God in Bodily Form
This week we’ll be studying Colossians 2:16-23 under the theme “The Freedom of Jesus.” A major component to the Colossian heresy, and much false religion today (including in Christian churches) is the unnecessary burdening of manmade laws. The Apostle Paul refused to allow the Colossians’ sincere faith to be squeezed out by the self-righteousness of false teachers who presumed to be close to God.
The Church in Colossae was a product of Paul’s 3-year ministry in Ephesus. The Apostle Paul wrote the letter to combat a specific type of heresy—a combination of Eastern and Greek philosophy and Jewish legalism with elements of Gnosticism. The danger was not in denying Christianity altogether but in altering genuine Christianity with mysticism, legalism, Eastern religions, asceticism, and man-made philosophy—making it quite relevant to our contemporary pluralistic culture. -
The Fullness of Jesus | Colossians: The Fullness of God in Bodily Form
This week we’ll be studying Colossians 2:6-15 under the theme “The Fullness of Jesus.” Here we receive one of Scripture’s clearest statements that Jesus is fully God and that his work on earth was to remove our sins by nailing them to his cross. We are working together to remove any deceptive philosophy, human tradition, or spirituality that would deter us from these truths.

The Feast | Easter Sunday
This Easter we're looking at Isaiah 25:6-9 where Isaiah prophesies about the eternal Feast on Mount Zion, when we will meet the Lord face to face. On that day, there will be no more hunger and no more tears; the only crying that will be heard are the cries of praise to Our God. The Resurrection means every sin and every problem of this world will be undone, and for that, we rejoice!

He Covered Our Shame | Good Friday
God has seen our most shameful moments, and instead of rejecting us, He loves us. He covers us and makes us beautiful; the only way for Him to do that was to make Himself ugly. He became sin to make us righteous. He was stripped naked to clothe us. He became an object of scorn to make us glorious. Based on John 19:17-30.
"For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, scorning its shame." - Hebrews 12:2 -
"I Have Eagerly Desired to Have This Meal with You" | Holy Thursday
We celebrate the Lord's Supper not just to honor Jesus, but to receive from Him. He wanted to have this meal with His disciples, and He wants to have it with us. This Holy Thursday, we feel His sorrow, feel His love, and feel His hope. Based on Luke 22:15-16.

Tremendous! 🙏🙏🙏
First of all, thank you God for working in the hearts of those involved in producing this podcast, not only the pastors, but those who make it possible to hear this content every week. Please continue this ministry! Such a blessing to those without the ability to physically attend St. Marcus, so appreciated. Actively listening for the last 3 years!
Find peace in the object of your faith, through Jesus’ sacrifice as our substitute, we are declared righteous in God’s eyes. What a beautiful Savior!
Great!
Fantastic content. Some of the music tracks lately have been drowning out the speaker lately.
Such a blessing!!
I sincerely appreciate all the work that goes into creating, delivering and producing these sermons and bible classes. They are filled with the truth of God’s precious Word delivered in a way that I can understand and I have learned so much from viewing these on You Tube and now listening to them on podcast.
