Technical Difficulties
Spotify for Podcasters has changed their platform. It is no longer a seamless application. Fortunately I was able to get this message download it via a file. If I figure out how to make new episodes you’ll see them posted. Otherwise thank you for listening and I’ll just see how the Lord leads....

Colossians: The Atmosphere of the One New Man (3:10-15)
Setting our affection on the things above means this is where the Christ has preeminence over all things.This is the atmosphere of the throne- Christ all and in all. We know the world below demands we live according to its atmosphere: religion, human government, politics, education, culture,...
-
Colossians: The Realization of the New Man (3:10-11)
And have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto full knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, Where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all and in all." (Colossians 3:10-11) A life that is set...
-
Colossians: The Throne and the New Man (3:10,12)
.The eternal goal of God is poured out from the throne. The new Jerusalem is the culmination of man’s enjoyment of His life poured out from the throne. The churches in all localities are to typify, be a Testimony, or a lampstand of what it looks like to live by this throne. In Revelation, chapter...
-
Colossians: Living by the One Imperative (3:5-9)
"Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry; Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience; In which you also once walked, when you lived in these things. But now,...
-
Colossians: Manifesting Life from the Throne (Col. 3:3-4)
"For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory." (Colossians 3:3-4) Living the life where we seek the things above, where we set our affections on the things obove has nothing to do with our...
-
Colossians: Fixated on the Throne (3:1-2)
Paul urges all believers to set our affection on that which is above. What is above? Christ is there. And he is sitting at the right hand of the father. This is the eternal glorification of Christ from eternity past. To sit down at the right hand of the father indicates that man has now been...
-
Colossians: Holding the Head (2:19-23)
““Holding the Head” is the conclusion of Paul’s discourse. Recall how Paul comes to this conclusion. In chapter 1, he displays the all sufficiency of this rich Christ. In chapter 2:9 he says Christ displayed all these riches as the fullness of God when he was on earth bodily. 2:10 states we have...
-
Colossians:What God did when Jesus was on the Cross: part 2 (2:15)
"Stripping off the rulers and the authorities, He made a display of them openly, triumphing over them in it." (Colossians 2:15) The cross is not only an erasing of all that condemns us but it is also a stripping away the power of all opposing rulers and authorities once and for all. Any future...
-
Colossians: What God Did When Jesus was on the Cross, part1 (2:14)
"Wiping out (or erasing) the handwriting in ordinances, which was against us, which was contrary to us; and He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross." (Colossians 2:14) The operation of God eternally puts us In Christ, thus we are said to be complete in Him (2:10).This is an...
-
Colossians: Faith in the Operation of God (2:9-13)
It is one thing to realize that in Christ, all the fullness of God dwelt. (2:9).It is quite another thing to see that we are complete in Christ. (2:10). We have received the fullness. But, it is still another huge thing to allow this fullness to operate in our lives. In other words, are we living...
-
Colossians: The Fulless is Enough (Col. 2:9-10, John 1:16)
Colossians 2:9-10 are certainly verses for the believer to know and recall. More than that they are a reality that we live by. They actually summarize what we’ve learned in Colossians. They are the riches we are to enjoy, the treasure we need to find, and the prize we need to run after. Verse 9...
-
Colossians: Full in Him (Col.2:9-10)
“The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him.” This dilemma was put to DL Moody to which he added, “By God’s help, I aim to be that man.” This has been the noble response of many believers. Let’s clarify. Firstly, the world HAS seen such a man fully consecrated to...
-
Colossians: Abounding with Thanksgiving (Col. 2:7)
Verses on thankfulness in Colossians: "Having been rooted and being built up in Him, and being established in the faith even as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving." (Colossians 2:7) "And let the peace of Christ arbitrate in your hearts, …; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15) "And whatever...
-
Colossians: Run this Way (Col. 2:3-4,8,16-18)
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us." (2 Corinthians 4:7) "I pursue toward the goal for the prize to which God in Christ Jesus has called me upward." (Philippians 3:14) "But what things were gains to me, these I have…

Colossians: This Contending Word (Col.2:1-6)
"For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those in Laodicea, even all who have not seen my face in the flesh," (Colossians 2:1) "I have fought the good fight; I have finished the course; I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7) Paul could have said here “I have struggled...
-
Colossians: The Need for Maturity
This is a hard word for some, but please listen. Just consider that God has an eternal desire from the ages that is culminating right now in these last days. The church represents that culminating desire. We are not to simply be waiting and watching but are urged to be ready and watching. Growth...
-
Colossians: The Present Day Hope of Glory (Col. 1:27)
"And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father), full of grace and reality." (John 1:14) "This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and I heard the voice of...
-
Colossians: The Struggle for Christ in You (Colossians 1:27-2:1)
Christ in you the hope of glory. I would say most believers have this underlined. Why is it underlined or highlighted? What does this mean to you? This meant everything to the apostle Paul. This is why he prayed without ceasing and rejoiced in all his sufferings, this is why he was “announcing,...
-
Colossians: Participating in the Completion of the Word of God. (Col. 1:25-29)
"So then we, from now on, know no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him so no longer." (2 Corinthians 5:16) This verse indicates that Christ “from now on” is not merely known historically. And actually, from now on, we don’t know...
-
Colossians: Right Now Rejoice in All Suffering (Col. 1:24)
It is certainly “Pauline” of Paul to write about suffering. You can find a laundry list of his personal sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11, and in chapter 12 regarding his “thorn in the flesh” the Lord responds, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”. Most gladly...
-
Colossians: Continue in Faith (Col. 1:23, 2:5,6)
"By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For before his translation he obtained the testimony that he had been well pleasing to God. But without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to Him, for he who comes forward...
-
Colossians: The Happiness of God Colossians 1:19-23
"For in Him all the fullness was pleased to dwell" (Colossians 1:19-23) God is so happy that there is a place on the Earth where his fullness can be expressed. Oh, that all the saints would see that they express His fullness. And as the body enjoys this fullness the church surely is built. This…
more -
Colossians: The Location of His Fullness (Col. 1:17-19)
There is a place on the Earth where Christ can be expressed. Yes, your individual life can have an expression, but we alone are not His full expression. He is the Head, and just like your head needs a full expression so does He. It’s the Body! A head without a body would not just be lacking, it...
-
Colossians: Firstborn from the dead (Col. 1:15-18)
Jesus, as the Firstborn of Creation, (15) did what Adam could not do. He lived by God as His life in all things. Adam could not properly multiply and fill the earth with many brothers and sisters and neither could he have proper dominion over the earth. He did not do it , he instead brought sin…
more -
Colossians: The Firstborn of all Creation. (Col. 1:15-18)
Paul did not simply preach Christ in you, the hope of glory, but he enjoyed the Christ in him. He said in Galatians 2:20 “I’m crucified with Christ. It is no longer I,but Christ lives in me.” Our inner being longs to live such a life, but on the surface, it appears too costly , too difficult....
-
Colossians: Making the Connection (Col. 2:6)
"As therefore you have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in Him," (Colossians 2:6) What a verse! It sums up the commission that Paul was given to share with the whole world. Two big items: 1) open the eyes of the world and tell them they need to receive Jesus, salvation. This is primarily...
-
Colossians: Saints In Light! (Col. 1:9-14, Acts 26:18,19)
"To open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me." (Acts 26:18) "Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the...
-
Colossians: Give Thanks to the Father (Colossians 1:12-14)
Giving thanks to the Father (1:12) is the natural response if we are God’s children , especially upon seeing His Big Will for us. John says, "Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and we are.” (1 John 3:1) . In other words , “Just…
more -
Colossians: Paul’s Prayer for the Church (1:9-11)
As a Christian and student of the Bible you have to see that Paul’s burden and prayer is not simply meant for an ancient group of believers in a forgotten village, but for you today! That statement may seem like “duh, we know that already” but saints often enjoy Paul’s writings historically or…
more -
Colossians: Out of “It” the Church Happens (Colossians 1:9a)
The church happens when I discover that Jesus is really in me. As I abide, stay and enjoy His life in me His love -life fills my whole being. A longing rises up in me to gather with likeminded saints where His life overflows into our meeting. When the church is simply Christ, The church simply...
-
Colossians: Love in the Spirit (Colossians 1:8)
May the Lord give us an Epaphras in all of our fellowships. A brother or sister, who always brings us to Jesus, as the answer to all things. The highlight of his testimony was that the Saints in Colossae demonstrated love in the Spirit. This church did not have the problems that Paul addressed in...
-
Colossians: The Bountiful Supply for the Church (Colossians 1:1-7)
Besides grace as the beginning and ending of all of Paul’s epistles, here are some other verses that share how that Grace is to be the constant supply of the church: John 1:16 And of his fullness we have received, grace upon grace. Acts 6:8 (NLT) Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power,...
-
Colossians: Grace to You and Be with You, (Col. 1:2).
"And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father), full of grace and reality. … For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and reality came through Jesus...
-
Colossians: To the Saints wherever you are! (Col. 1:2)
"To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, the called saints, with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, who is theirs and ours:" (1 Corinthians 1:2) I use this verse because we know the church of Corinth is...
-
Colossians: Paul’s Penmanship
"Christ…His Body, which is the church; "Of which I became a minister according to the stewardship of God, which was given to me for you, to complete the word of God," (Colossians 1:25) Note what Paul says, at the end of this verse: he says that what he was sharing to the churches as Gods faithful...
-
Colossians: Paul’s Wonderful Stewardship (Colossians 1:24-27)
"Christ…His Body, which is the church; Of which I became a minister according to the stewardship of God," (Colossians 1:24-25) "Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards that one be found faithful. A man should account us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God."...
-
Colossians: Seeing Paul’s Vision; or Not Kicking Against the Goads (Acts 9, 22, 26)
"Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads." (Acts 26:14) "…I persecuted them (saints) even as far as foreign cities." (Acts 26:11) "And I persecuted this Way unto death, binding and delivering to prisons both men and women," (Acts 22:4) By looking at...
-
Colossians: The apostleship of Paul (Colossians 1:1)
Do you know the significance of the apostles.? Sent ones, directly by Christ, who personally bore witness of Christ in his living, his crucifixion, his resurrection, and his ascension. Such were the 12 minus Judas and their testimony as apostles. Now Paul, on the other hand, has a unique...
-
Colossians: The Church in God’s Eternal Timeline (Col. 3:4, 10-11)
God has a clear desire throughout time. He wants to put his life in man that man might have uninterrupted fellowship with him. Like an arrow He has shot this out from eternity past, and He will surely reach his mark in the future. In the garden, we see the tree of life was planted. Satan entered...
-
Colossians: Just Christ! (1:23, 2:8, 23)
We need to get a general overview of the false teaching in Colossae in order to understand Paul’s message. Note these verses: “If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation...

Colossians: The Testimony of Jesus Christ
The Riches of Christ in Colossians (His resume’) He is: Chapter 1 Our inheritance, allotment Our light The king, He has a kingdom. Redeemer Forgiver God, His very image Firstborn of creation Creator of all things (16-17) Source of all things Object of all things He Existed eternally Center of all...
-
Colossians: Christ becoming our subjective reality (Colossians 3:1-4)
Colossians gives us a Grand Canyon view of the objective truth about the person and work of Christ. This is truth we must believe, but Paul’s thematic verse in Colossians 3 urges the church to live beyond objective truth! "When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with...
-
Colossians: Christ our Life
"When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory." (Colossians 3:4) There are really only two choices for you to make every single day as a believer. You will either enjoy Christ as your life which is God’s intention or you will live out of yourself.…

Daniel: Go thy way (Daniel 12:9-13)
"But you, go your way until the end, and you will rest and rise again in your lot at the end of the days." (Daniel 12:13) who is telling Daniel to go his way? The man in Linen, above the river of Waters, Christ! To “go thy way” literally could mean, Daniel it is your time to leave this earth…

Daniel: The man above the river of water (Daniel 12:5-13)
Water, especially a river of water, is of a great significance in the Bible. The river of water indicates the supply God desires for us: his purpose, his building, and his eternal plans for us…this River of water in general supplies His life to mankind. Actually, the whole book of Daniel is not...

Daniel: The things above (Daniel 12:3, 10
"And those who have insight will shine like the shining of the heavenly expanse, and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars, forever and ever." (Daniel 12:3) "Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but...

Daniel: Insight in Last Days (Daniel 12:3-4)
"And those who have insight will shine like the shining of the heavenly expanse, and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars, forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end; many will go here and there, and knowledge will be…

Daniel: The battle is the Lords (Daniel 12:1, Revelation 12)
God is not in the realm of “tit for tat.” The enemy does this and God responds and does this, no! God has an eternal purpose that he is carrying out upon the Earth in every age, and he knows the beginning from the end. Chapter 12 of Daniel primarily deals with the last 3 1/2 years of the...

Daniel: By sword, by famine, and by pestilence (Daniel 11:21-45)
"Then there will arise in his place a despicable person, to whom the honor of a kingdom will not be given; but he will come in a time of security and will seize the kingdom by smooth and cunning words and actions." (Daniel 11:21). Daniel chapter 11 unveils the constant depression that Israel is...
