I. THE GRATITUDE OF PAUL'S PRAYER LIFE (vv. 3-8)
1) Paul thanks God and prays ... for a church, most of whose members he has never met
- Colossians 1:3, "We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,"
- Colossians 2:1-2, "For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face..."
Carson, "We must ask ourselves ho...
This is our third week on unity and the last week on the summer series on sanctification. We see in these passages that unity is grounded in our triune God and in the gospel of Jesus.

This passage is a sobering warning about the realities and horrors of hell and our need for Jesus. If we endure and die "in the Lord" we will be truly blessed. Let us not live for Babylon, which will be fully and finally judged and destroyed. Let us rather live for eternity.

The gospel gives great motivation to allow us to, at times, lay down our preferences in order to better love others and, like Christ, not please ourselves.

Origin stories are popular these days. Today, we look at the origin story of the church that met in Philemon's home, which is better known as the Colossian church. We will focus on the two main human means God used for the birth of this church:
- Paul (Acts 19:8-10)
- Epraphras (Colossians 1:6-8; 4:12-13)
We can be encouraged by how God uses our lives and His word through us in ways that go beyond what we often are aware of....
What is 666? What is the mark of the beast? These questions have often led people into fruitless discussions. However, their meaning may be much more mundane and far more radical than we may think.

When Scripture neither commands or forbids an action, Christians will often come to a variety of views as to what is best. How do we maintain Christian unity when we will never be uniform in all disputable matters?
This is week six of the sanctification series.

This message introduces the Paul's shortest NT letter. It is often neglected and yet contains much that is edifying and encouraging!
- The Senders: From Paul & Timothy (v. 1a)
- The Recipients: To Philemon, Apphia, Archippus, & the Church (vv. 1b-2)
- The Grace We All Need: From God our Father & the Lord Jesus Christ (v. 3)
Mark found Malcolm MacLean's excellent chapter on this passage especially helpful in outlini...
The second beast is later called "the false prophet" in Revelation 16:13 and 19:20. This beast is at work, we argue, throughout the church age. It represents all false religion, philosophy, ideology, economic pressure, and idolatry that turns us away from Christ, especially to worship the first beast. This includes false teachers in the church today who look like a lamb, but speak like a dragon.

Jerry and Greg walk us through some of what Scripture teaches about what it means to fear the Lord. This is the antidote to the fear of man!

Greg walked us through a dramatic and important Old Testament story involving King Hezekiah's virtues and flaws, along with Assyria's attempt to intimidate and intice the people of Jerusalem with their powerful army to not trust the Lord.
- Hezekiah's strong start (18:1-8)
- Hezekiah's fateful misstep (18:9-35)
- Hezekiah's renewal in faith (18:36-19:19)
- God's perfect faithfulness (19:20-37)

Surely one of the great idols of the human heart is the fear of man. We often care inordinately what other people think about us. How can this idol be identified and how do we begin to conquer it by God's grace?

Zach Petty preached for the first time today and did a great job answering the question, "What is missions?"
The three-legged stool of mission:
- Gospel proclamation (v. 21a)
- Church planting (v. 23)
- Church strengthening (v. 22; 15:41)

We seek to answer five questions about this passage:
- What is the beast from the sea? (vv. 1-2) [Rome? The Antichrist? Something else?]
- When are the "42 months" wherein the beast exercises authority? (v. 5b)
- What is the mortal wound that is healed? (v. 3a)
- How does the beast obtain worship? (vv. 1-5)
- How do the beast and saints seek to "conquer" each other? (vv. 6-10)

This is the last (and the 130th!) sermon in the Gospel of Matthew. We are thankful for this great book and for the Great Commission at its conclusion! The message breaks the commission into four points.
- Go therefore
- Make disciples of all nations
- Baptizing and teaching them
- I will be with you always

There are three controversies about this chapter that must be addressed before we can apply it appropriately to our lives.
- Who is the woman?
- What time period do the "1,260 days" (v. 6) and the "time, times, and half a time" (v. 14) refer to?
- When is Satan cast out of heaven (vv. 7-12)?

It has been rightly said that pride is our greatest enemy and humility is our greatest friend. While we will struggle with pride until the day we die, we can still grow in humility over time. But how?

Our mission as the church is clear: We are to make disciples.
And the breadth of the command is global: Of all nations.
Three main points:
- A Mountain in Galilee (v. 16)
- Some Doubting Disciples (v. 17)
- The All-Authoritative Christ (v. 18)
Application (adapted from John MacArthur):
- We need to be present and available.
- We need to worship the resurrected Jesus.
- We need to go to Him with our doubts.
- We need to humbly sub...
