Colossians 3 is all about getting the Kingdom into our lives while pushing out the corrupt culture. Paul has what appears to be minimal help for parents but it is actually the condensed core of how to Kingdom parent.由Matt Heverly

Colossians 3 is all about heaven in and culture out, beginning with our minds and moving to marriage. We, believers, want marriages that are not based on culture’s roller coaster of concepts about marriage; we want Scripture’s timeless truths about how God designed men and women to partner in this wonderful ride called marriage.…

Colossians 3 contrasts the old way of living with its vices and sins and a Kingdom way. It commands the believer to put off that way of living and gives a detailed portrait. Next, we are reminded of who we are in Christ and then given the Kingdom style that matches “the who” we have become.由Matt Heverly

Believers are called to be morticians. We are to put to death that which destroys to give place and opportunity for virtue to grow. Colossians three uses the metaphor of death and life as well as clothing to walk us into a flourishing, virtuous life.由Matt Heverly

Chapter 2 leaves us dead to the kingdom of darkness. Too often, believers stay in this state, missing out on the feasts of kingdom life. Chapter 3 resurrects us and points us to life by seeking the Kingdom, setting our minds above, knowing true life, and holding our hope of glory.由Matt Heverly

The warning and guarding section of Colossians concludes with three religious traps: legalism, mysticism, and asceticism. Each trap is concluded with a truth to prevent a Christian from these three pitfalls.由Matt Heverly

Pastors have two primary jobs: guarding and gardening. They are to heap on the fertilizer of God’s Word and guard against bad doctrine. In this section of Colossians, Pastor Paul fertilizes the seed of the Gospel by describing the truths of all who are in Christ.由Matt Heverly

Pastors have two primary jobs: guarding and gardening. They are to heap on the fertilizer of God’s Word and guard against bad doctrine. In this chapter of Colossians, Pastor Paul guards by naming the dangerous doctrines that are invading the church.由Matt Heverly

Colossians began with God the Father, focused on Jesus the King and now introduces ministry in the church. While Paul uses himself as the example, all who name Christ as King belong to the priesthood of believers, and what is true of Paul is also true of us.由Matt Heverly

For two millennia, people have questioned: Who is Jesus? Was He a prophet, teacher, sage, or the Son of God? Colossians dives deep into the nature and personhood of Jesus Christ and unabashedly declares His divinity.由Matt Heverly

In a culture of shortcuts and life hacks, Scripture confronts us with a time tested slow path to maturity that offers no shortcuts but promises transformation. Colossians begins with two of the basics of our faith: Thanks and Prayer.由Matt Heverly

A City that was once prospering is in a slow decline because of a decision made by the far-off city of Rome. Into this desperation comes cults, spiritualism, syncretism, and the Good News. The letter to Colossae is a brilliant path through a culture in chaos.由Matt Heverly

We all have broken pieces in us that cause us to strive to fill the “glory vacuum” in our souls. Doing so is where so much of the conflict in our lives comes from. Paul encourages us to follow after Jesus and see that the way to the top is to become the least.由Justin Kabot

After Jesus’ teaching on the Kingdom, He then demonstrates He is both the King and the example of a citizen of the Kingdom. Chapter eight presents portraits to instruct and inspire us to follow the example of King Jesus.由Matt Heverly

Jesus concludes His masterful sermon with a blue collar analogy. Two builders with similar blueprints, materials, methods and effort have drastically different endings because of their choice in foundation. Jesus’ conclusion is simple. The two builders are listeners and the all-important foundation is what they do with Jesus’ words.…

由Matt Heverly

Jesus finishes the Sermon on the Mount with some twos: two paths: two types of leaders, two trees, two types of followers, and two builders. Each of them targets a tendency in the Christian walk and the church community. Jesus warns that there will be church people attempting to enter the Kingdom who He tells to depart from Him in, perhaps, His sca…

Jesus begins the greatest sermon with the Beatitudes or blessings. Jesus ends with the bewares. We need both or we will simply be plump snacks for the wolves. Jesus has warned us that life has two paths and now He is warning us about bad leaders.由Matt Heverly

由James Dennis

Jesus is concluding His sermon by summarizing and applying His message. He makes it clear that the Golden Rule, verse 12, takes care of all the Old Testament Law and Prophets. It is the right and Godly way of life. Next, Jesus warns if we want to live according to this rule it will be unpopular and hard.…

由Matt Heverly

Jesus tells his disciples to ask, seek, and knock; they will receive, find, and open doors. The statement is unconditional and extends to everyone. Does this mean we can demand that God give us whatever we want? Or find anything that our heart desires? Or force open every door we encounter? Context is king, and Jesus’ sermon interprets this stateme…

Christians are often accused of being judgmental. A favorite retort is to quote Matthew 7:1, saying, “Don’t Judge me!” While there is a partial truth to this response, it must be understood in the context of all that Jesus says. In this section, we get a balanced way to stop condemning through judgment, restore instead, heal, and discern when to sp…

Scripture is full of wisdom and practical tools you could call anxiety's enemies. Even more than being the antidote to anxiety, these seven tools help all of us live out the brilliant lives that Jesus has purchased for each of us.由Matt Heverly

由Justin Kabot

Jesus’ sermon is pointing believers toward a way of living that prioritizes being rather than looking and the beatitudes over being comfortable. His perspective produces a kind of life that culminates in Matthew 6:25, “be anxious for nothing”. It is this quality of life that humans resonate with and our current culture wars against.…
