Christ in the Book of Colossians

Letting the Word of Christ Dwell in Us Richly

( Colossians 3:16  

An Overview of Colossians

( Colossians 1:18 ; 3:15

Laboring on Christ as Our God-given Portion

( Colossians 1:12;  3:24  

Enjoying Christ as Our Portion in the Light

( Colossians 1:12-13;  Acts 26:18  

Laboring on the Riches of Christ for the Producing of God’s House – Part One

( Colossians 1:12;  2 Timothy 2:6

Laboring on the Riches of Christ for the Producing of God’s House – Part Two

( Colossians 2:6-7; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Ephesians 4:12

Two Kingdoms, Being Delivered from the One and Transferred Into the Other

In Colossians 1:13 we note that there are two spiritual kingdoms today. One is associated with Satan and is of darkness, and the other is of light belonging to the Son of the Father’s love. On this program we focus on what these two kingdoms are and how the Lord delivered us from the one and transferred us into the other. 

( Colossians 1:13-14  Acts 26:18

  

__________________________________________________________

Living in the Reality of the Kingdom of the Son of the Father’s Love

Paul reveals to us in Colossians 1:13 that God’s kingdom has not been suspended, but is here among us today in the church age. In this program we consider how to be in the reality of the kingdom and not just in an outward manifestation so that one day we can be with the Lord in the kingdom’s manifestation.

( Colossians 1:13;  Romans 14:17

   

__________________________________________________________

Exercising our Stewardship in the Household of God

Paul tells us that grace was given to him for others. This implies a stewardship. Our Father God has arranged that we, as the many members of His household, would care for one another by ministering the riches of Christ that we have enjoyed to the other members for the building up of the Body of Christ.

( Colossians 1:25;  Ephesians 3:2; 1 Peter 4:10

  

__________________________________________________________

The Laboring, Struggling, Suffering, and Self-Denying Stewardship

All believers have been entrusted with a stewardship, but how can we be faithful in this service? The Bible tells us that this is a matter of laboring, struggling, suffering, and self-denial.

( Colossians 1:24, 28-29  

  

__________________________________________________________

The Testimony of the Church

When Paul wrote this letter to the saints in Colossae, who received it? What was the expression of the church at that time? Listening to the fellowship in this program helps us to reconsider the testimony of the church today in light of the teaching and practice revealed in the New Testament. 

( Colossians 1:2; Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 10:25

  

__________________________________________________________

Christ our Life

Did you ever consider that the Bible both begins and ends with an emphasis on life? Throughout the Bible the Lord presents Himself as life to man. He is the living water and the Bread of life. He is simply — the Life. But how can Christ as life become our life? Listen to this program as we consider how we can subjectively know Christ as our life today.

( Colossians 3:1-4  

  

__________________________________________________________

The Importance and Value of the Church to Christ

Christ is so much to us today in all His riches. But, did you ever think that the church is important and valuable to Him? In this program we look at a few different aspects of the church as presented throughout the New Testament and consider why the Lord gave Himself up for her.  

 

( Eph. 5:25b,  32

  

__________________________________________________________

Living in Union with Christ for His Expression

As Christians we have often heard that as braches in the Vine, we need to abide in Christ in order to bring forth acceptable fruit unto God. What does Colossians teach us about this subject? Listen to this program as we take a look at what a practical union with Christ looks like in our daily Christian life in all our relationships with others. 

 ( 1 Cor. 6:17; Col. 2:6,  3:12-15

  

__________________________________________________________

Holding Christ as our Head

As believers, we all realize that sometimes things can come between us and the Lord in our fellowship with Him. We may never have thought, however, that we need to be on guard for good substitutes for Christ. In this program we consider three matters that cause insulation between the members of Christ’s Body and Christ, the Head.   

  

Key Verse: Col. 2:19  

__________________________________________________________

The Believers Cooperation in the Christian Life

The book of Colossians shows us clearly that God has a goal for us both individually and corporately to become full grown and to express Him as the new man. But how are we to reach this goal? In this audio recording we take a look at God’s operation i n us and how we can cooperate.

Key Verse: Col. 1:28, 2:6

__________________________________________________________

Seeking the Things Above

It is too easy to become entangled in all the earthly things below. Paul encourages us to seek the things above—the heavenly things. In this program we consider the heavenly Christ who is interceding, ministering, and executing God’s plan. Listen to how we can learn to appreciate, respond to, and reflect this heavenly One above. 

  

Key Verse: Col. 3:1-2

 

Romans: The Masterpiece of the New Testament

Martin Luther called this book “the masterpiece of the New Testament.” In this first program on Romans we consider the writer and the subject of this precious pure gospel of God.

( Romans 1:1-2

    

 

The Wonderful Person of Christ as the Focus of the Gospel

Romans 1 tells us that the gospel of God is concerning the Son. Listen to how the Son is described in His two natures for the purpose of accomplishing redemption and for life imparting.

( Romans 1:3-4

      

 

The Goal of the Gospel

( Romans 8:29-30

     

 

The Proclaiming of the Gospel!

How should we preach the gospel? Listen to this program to find some secrets of how the sent ones should make the gospel known and how it is to be received by the called and believing ones.

( Romans 1:5, 9

     

 

Receive the Gospel!

The good news is that the wonderful person of Christ has come to take away our sin, to fill the void of our emptiness, and to save us from a destiny apart from God. Now what is left for us to do? Just come as you are, open your heart, and receive Him!  

( John 6:37

      

 

The Gospel is the Power of God unto Salvation!

As believers we have such a wonderful gospel that we should not be ashamed of. This full and complete gospel is powerful to save us to the uttermost!

( Romans 1:16

      

 

The Righteousness of God is Revealed in the Gospel

Why is the gospel so powerful? It is because the righteousness of God is revealed in it. In this program we discuss what righteousness is, who has it, and how it is related to our full salvation.

( Romans 1:17

     

 

God’s Saving Way is by Faith, not by Works

From the time of Cain people have tried to come forward to God based upon what they could produce. This is contrary to God’s saving way of having faith in what He has accomplished on our behalf. Listen to what the Bible says about salvation through faith, and not by works.

( Romans 1:17; Eph. 2:8-9

      

 

The Righteous shall have Life and Live by Faith

Romans 1:17 is actually an abstract of the whole book of Romans. Listen to this discussion to find out the significance of this verse to the three main sections of Romans.

( Romans 1:17

The Two-fold Purpose of God in Creation

( Genesis 1:26; Romans 1:19-20

    

 

The Result of Giving Up God

Romans 1:18-32 describes the downward trend of the fallen man who is under God’s condemnation. In this program we learn how man gave up God and what the terrible consequences were of his foolishness. 

( Romans 1:18, 20, 24, 26

    

 

 The Revealing of God’s Wrath

God’s wrath is revealed upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man. What caused man to come to such a state, and what is the way of restricting evil and wickedness? 

( Romans 1:32

      

 

The Way of Restricting Evil and Wickedness

Romans chapter one not only portrays the downward trend of the fallen man, but also shows us some practical ways of restricting evil and wickedness. Listen to find out how we can cooperate in our daily life to stay away from uncleanness, passions of dishonor, and a disapproved mind. 

(Romans 1:21, 25

How to Depart from Ungodliness and Unrighteousness
