| | (Colossians) Part Two - Col 1:15-20 by Douglas Moo
Topic:
Scripture(s): Colossians 1:15-20 | | Description: This section of Colossians celebrates the supremacy of Christ in creation and the new creation. All you could possibly know about God is found in Christ. He is not some "blurry, impressionistic view" of God but the exact image of the Father.

| | (Presenting Christ #3) Fullness And Glory by Dana Congdon
Topic: Glory Of God
Scripture(s): Ephesians 1:9-10, Colossians 1:15-20 | | Description: "If we want our lives to be summed up and full of Christ," says brother Dana, "there is a subtraction process." Tribulation in our lives teaches us to value the glory of Christ. If you set your heart to seek Him, you can be guaranteed to be resisted by the devil, the world and your flesh.

| | The Supremacy of Christ in Truth in a Postmodern World by Voddie Baucham
Topic: Postmodern
Scripture(s): Colossians 1:15-22 | | Description: Every human being is asking, has asked, or will ask these questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is wrong with the world? and Can what is wrong be made right? It is very important that Christians not only answer these questions, but answer them in a manner that distinguishes the Christian worldview from all others. Paul gives us a model for doing so in Colossians chapter one.

| | All Fulness in Christ by C. H. Spurgeon
Topic:
Scripture(s): Colossians 1:19 | | Description: “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell.” — Colossians 1:19. THE preacher is under no difficulties this morning as to the practical object to be aimed at in his discourse. Every subject should be considered with an object, every discourse should have a definite spiritual aim; otherwise we do not so much preach as play at preaching. The connection plainly indicates what our drift should be. Read the words immediately preceding the text, and you find it declared that our Lord Jesus is in all things to have the pre-eminence. We would seer; by this text to yield honor and glory to the ever-blessed Redeemer, and enthrone him in the highest seat in our hearts. O that we may all be in an adoring frame of mind, and may give him the pre-eminence in our thoughts, beyond all things or persons in heaven or earth. Blessed is he who can do or think: the most to honor such a Lord as our Immanuel. The verse which succeeds the text, shows us how we may best promote the glory of Christ, for since he came into this world that he might reconcile the things in heaven and the things in earth to himself, we shall best glorify him by falling in with his great design of mercy. By seeking to bring sinners into a state of reconciliation with God, we are giving to the great Reconciler the pre-eminence...

| | The Pleasure of God in the Gospel of His Son by Eli Brayley
Topic: Gospel
Scripture(s): Colossians 1:19-22 | | Description: This message was preached on September 6, 2009, at the Guinavah Campground amphitheater. "For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight." (Colossians 1:19-22) Contrary to what we might feel, God does not reluctantly forgive sins but He is pleased and full of joy to reconcile His enemies unto Himself. It pleased the Lord to crush His Son for our sakes, and when we apprehend this wonderful knowledge of God's good pleasure in the gospel, our hearts will be liberated and our lives transformed.

| | Christ Our Sanctification #3 by Ed Miller
Topic:
Scripture(s): Romans 8:18-30, Colossians 1:24 | | Description: "The closest relationship you've ever had with Jesus," shares Ed Miller, "is only a handful of corn compared to what's coming." Creation, the Christian, and the Spirit all groan in sympathy with what God's future plan that brings comfort and assurance of true holiness today. Holiness does not come by studying holiness but entering into the substitution of the Savior.

| | The Cross Of Christ - Part 3 by Art Katz
Topic: Cross Of Christ
Scripture(s): Matthew 16:24, Colossians 1:24, 1 Peter 2:21 | | Description: Starting with a quote from C.H. Spurgeon, "Jesus bears not the cross so that you may escape it, but that you may endure it," this sermon delivers a message which adopts and adheres the previous two messages into our own bearing of the cross. It is stated herein that one of the greatest libels against the cross in our day is the idea that the believer in the cross is absented from any form of suffering. It is the cruciform life which will generate a necessary friction against the kingdoms of this world. We must apprehend that this conflict is an intention of God through his people, and in every sense, a diet of the things of this world will by nature slicken any apprehension of this cross-centered friction. The hearing of this sermon in its deepest of intentions will bring you face to face with Jesus calling you Satan, that is to say...you are Satanic if you cherish not the things of God over the things of man. We are admonished to take up the cross and follow Christ for, "Natural man is always the instrument by which Satanic things are brought into being in the collision between kingdoms."

| | Balance Of Truth - 1 by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): 2 Timothy 3:16, Colossians 1:28-29 | | Description: Much error that comes into Christianity is not because people teach error but because one truth is magnified so much at the expense of another truth. Zac Poonen concentrates on six areas where we need to be balanced, the first two expounded in this sermon: 1) faith and works, and 2) love for God and love for man.

Topic:
Scripture(s): John 7:37-39, Colossians 1:28 | | Description: "You've been designed by God," teaches Ernie Hile, "to live in spiritual fullness." Are you being satisfied with something other than the Lord Jesus, or are you seeking for practical ways to take Him up on His offer to come to Him and drink and experience those rivers of living water?
