And Whatever You Do
The Apostle Paul spent most of what we know as Colossians 3 giving instructions to the church on how to conduct themselves as believers. He concludes his exhortation with what might considered a concise summary of all he’s written thus far: And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of…

All Things Were Created By Him
As we saw last time, there is simply no scriptural argument against the divinity of Christ. The bible makes it clear that Jesus is unique in all the universe as being the one and only Son of God, and today we see even more of His exclusive power and position. For by him all things…

The Word of Christ
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16 ESV The word is certainly an interesting theological study all by itself. Rendered from the Greek logos it can have many meanings,…

The Peace of Christ
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15 ESV We are in the middle of the exhortation and encouragement to right living that Paul gave the Colossae church, now with the instruction to “let the peace of Christ rule…

Put On Love
Last time we looked at Colossians 3:5-11 and Paul’s overarching list of things that Christians must abstain from; actions that hurt people and clearly violate God’s moral law. Today we turn the page over and look at a list of behaviors that every true Christian should be exhibiting in their lives; actions that build up…

Put On The New Self
When we opened Colossians 3, we learned about the importance of Paul’s command that we “seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God,” and to “set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth,” (Col. 3:1-2).This is basically a summary of…

Seek The Things Above
Last time, we closed out Colossians 2 looking at Paul’s instructions to the church to avoid adhering to religious rites and manmade traditions in a futile effort to earn favor with God because we now have freedom in Christ – freedom from the law of works and freedom from the chains of sin. Today we…

Freedom In Christ
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. (2:6-7) After expressing his desire for the Colossians to be encouraged, knit together in love, and grounded in the full assurance of their faith…

Plausible Arguments
Opening Colossians chapter 2, apostle Paul encouraged believers to remain “knit together in love” and prayed that they would collectively obtain “all the riches of full assurance of understanding” found in our Lord Jesus Christ. This sets the stage for our passage today: “I say this in order that no one may delude you with…

Full Assurance
…to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:2-3 Leading into our passage today, the apostle Paul was sharing with the Colossians how he agonized and struggled for those who had not…
Walking With Christ was born from an informal devotional series launched in 2019 with a simple purpose: to encourage believers to let Scripture shape their daily lives. Written in an expository style (verse by verse, chapter by chapter) we aim not only to understand God’s Word more deeply, but also to apply it faithfully, allowing it to transform how we live, think, and walk with Christ each day.
