Complete in Christ: Part 2
I am so glad to be with you for part two of “Complete in Christ.” If you missed the first part of this teaching, please take the time to look it up; it is worthwhile. The first reason we are complete in Christ is because of His person. The following two reasons are His power and His provision. Notice the three “P” words: His person, power, and provision. Each of these comes through knowing Jesus. He is the real focus; we are here to learn about Him.
Complete in Christ: Part 1
Think back to the first week of creation. God created the earth, and then each day, he created things to fill the earth. On day six, he created the land, animals, and man. Sometime after the first week, God saw that man was alone, and this was not good. So, God put Adam to sleep, and from his rib, God made a woman. This story is familiar, but it is incredible. Now, Adam has a wife; he is no longer alone. We would say Eve completed Adam. Before her, there was something missing; with her, he was now complete. This idea of being complete is the topic of today’s lesson. If you can, turn to Colossians 2, and we will learn how to be “Complete in Christ.”
God’s Treasure Chest: Part 2
Today, we are finishing our lesson from Colossians 2, which is titled “God’s Treasure Chest.” We started this teaching last time and looked at genuine love and full knowledge as the first two treasures. Today, we’ll finish full knowledge and end by discussing growing stability. These things aren’t what we usually consider treasures. However, it is good for us to think through what we treasure. Are these the same things God treasures?
God’s Treasure Chest, Part 1
For our study today, we will look at the first seven verses of Colossians 2. The title is “God’s Treasure Chest,” and we will look at a few treasures that can be ours when we live for Jesus. These treasures are not gold, silver, or money, which is usually the first thing that comes to mind when we think about treasures. However, they are every bit as valuable.
The Mystery of Christ in You: Part 2
I am so glad to be with you for part two of “The Mystery of Christ in You.” Take some time to put yourself back to when Colossians was written. How would you share this unusual message of Jesus who died, was resurrected, and ascended into heaven? Would the people of Colosse think you were crazy for talking about God who will live in you? This teaching was new and unusual, and as Paul mentions, it was hidden for a long time. This was a significant change from the Old Testament way of living; this was a considerable shift in thinking, and Paul is doing his best to explain it clearly.
The Mystery of Christ in You: Part 1
This teaching will be spread out over the following two lessons, and our title is taken from verse 27: “The Mystery of Christ in You.” This awesome, preeminent Jesus we just talked about will actually live in you! How is this even possible? What does this mean?
The Preeminent Christ: Part 2
Thank you for joining us. It is good to have you here for another look at the Preeminent Christ. Last time was the first part of the lesson, and today we will finish looking at the three relationships that prove His preeminence.
The Preeminent Christ: Part 1
In this lesson and the next, we will discuss the Preeminent Christ. J Mark will explain this passage by looking at three proofs of His preeminence. The three proofs are relationships: one to His deity, another to creation, and the last to the church. Let’s go to Colossians one and grow our understanding of Jesus.
Fruitful in Every Good Work: Part 2
We are in Colossians 1, and last time, we covered the first two areas: fruitfulness, knowledge, and obedience. Today, we will examine the following two: endurance and gratefulness. This will conclude our study of these verses. Let’s go with Bible teacher J Mark to Colossians for today’s lesson.
Fruitful in Every Good Work: Part 1
Our lesson is from Colossians 1, “Fruitful in Every Good Work. " This teaching covers two lessons. Today, we will hear about the first two areas of fruitfulness, and next time, we will cover two more areas. If you can, turn to Colossians 1 and follow along as we study verses 9-14.
