Expository Devotionals

In this devotional, we see how the apostle Paul touches on one of the most important evidences true believers will experience in their walk with Christ: bearing fruit.

God reserves an eternal hope for us in heaven, protected through a faith in Christ, which He mercifully grants us, for a salvation to be revealed at the proper time. Truly an amazing promise!

Throughout scripture we see the relationship in the Godhead clearly defined where there is God the Father and Christ the Son. Scripture does not combine these two distinct persons, nor does it mix-up their relationship, and neither should we!

In the opening two verses of Colossians, we learn more about the necessity of submitting to God's will, and we get a glimpse into the heavenly relationship between the Father and Son.

As we begin our new devotional series in Colossians, let's look at the audience, history, culture, and setting of the church, as well as the author's purpose in writing this letter.

Closing out our series in Philippians, we see how all who have true saving faith in Christ hold an equal position as saints, and the importance of fellowship with other believers.

Paul teaches that when we give, our sacrifice rises to heaven as though a fragrant aroma to God through Christ, and that our love, obedience, and generosity ultimately brings God glory.

Only one church supported Paul's work to spread the gospel and help him in his time of need, and this presents us with a good reminder to give generously to those who work hard to share Christ and disciple believers.

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." This statement is often quoted out of context. What Paul states here is not about winning a football game or building a successful business, in fact, far from it.

How can we combat the world's constant attacks which aim to take away from 'the peace of God that surpasses all comprehension'? Paul tells us exactly what we need to keep our minds focused on.
