Colossians 3:12-17

Colossians 3:5-11

Colossians 3:1-4

Colossians 2:16-23

As we take a pause in our Colossians series, Pastor Nick talked about serving the Kingdom inside and outside the church walls.

There's no fruit in defending our own reputation or character. Fruitfulness of speech only comes when the Spirit of God through the people of God speaks about the Son of God: Jesus!

God’s plan of redemption was foreshadowed for hundreds of years. This cup of redemption is the blood of Jesus—a new covenant—poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins!

Jesus continues the conversation in describing what a faithful and wise servant looks like. We are called to be obedient, wise, and productive servants of Jesus Christ.

Jesus is our defender! In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus reveals how He alone will be the defender to a remnant of Israel in the end of the Tribulation. 

Continuing in Matthew 24, Jesus further describes events and key figures of the Tribulation. This event is a paradox; it's a terror to those who reject Jesus Christ and a hope for those in Christ Jesus that evil will be defeated and destroyed.
