Today Lloyd is going to take us to Colossians chapter one, and talk about the supremacy of Christ. That may seem like a simple thing, but when you look around today, you can plainly see that Jesus has been minimized and marginalized by many people and many so called religions. Is it important to know that Jesus Christ has supremacy over everything and every one? Absolutely. The key for you and me is to make sure He is supreme in our lives as well.

Paul's letter to the Colossians is especially practical for us, because the Colossians were being threatened by the same things the Christian church is being threatened by today - false doctrine and compromise. To be a growing Christian we need to weed out the false and water the truth! Lloyd shared some ways to do that in our last program, and hell share more today.

Paul was concerned enough for the Colossians that he sent this powerful letter to them to remind them of the supremacy of Jesus and the need to discern false doctrine from true.

Loyd is here to tell us, from Colossians chapter one, verses nine through fourteen.

Pastor Lloyd has just begin a new series going through Colossians, one of the letters the Apostle Paul wrote from a jail cell. He didnt spend any time feeling sorry for himself in this four chapter letter. As a matter of fact if you didnt know he was in prison, you would never guess that is where he wrote Colossians. Its a challenging letter to the church in Colossi - a church that had slipped a bit in their core beliefs. Pauls message here is simple - Christ is supreme over everything in the universe, and so He should be worshipped and followed.

Thanks for joining us as we continue looking at one of the greatest words in the english language - hope. To have hope is to have energy for life. If we wake up every morning knowing we have a great hope in Jesus Christ as our savior, then we can face the issues of the day with confidence and joy. Thats one of the true blessings of hope. And The Blessing of Hope is the title pastor Lloyd has given todays message.

Our hope is described as an anchor of the soul in the book of Hebrews. And its important to reiterate that hope as we know it, has nothing to do with uncertainty surrounding our salvation. Through simple faith and repentance of sin, we are assured of a place in heaven. Our hope lies in our knowledge that there are events that will take place that every Christian should be looking forward to. Thats our great hope!

Today, pastor Lloyd begins a brand new mini series focused on Hope. When you say the word hope in our context, dont think about sitting around hoping that God really exists and what He says about heaven is actually true. Thats not the hope we are talking about. We are talking today about the great anticipation we have; the great hope we have looking forward to that glorious day when the Lord returns.

The Book of Malachi gives us great insight into the heart of God, along with practical guidelines about commitment to Him. God deserves the very best we have to offer. As well see today, Malachi closes his message by pointing to that Great Day of Judgment. Those who have lived for God will be ushered into eternity in heaven. But chapter four, verse eleven tells us that those who have rejected Him will be straw--to be burned up

Today we begin our final study in the minor prophets by looking at the last two chapters of the Old Testament, Malachi three and four. In Malachi Three, we read about the coming Judgment Day. God gives us fair warning to be ready, but sadly, many will not be. So many people just tune out the idea of a day of judgment and go on their merry and sinful way. Do you have questions of your own about the last days?
