  • Continue steadfastly in prayer // Colossians 4:2-4 // Trey Hayman

    There are seasons of life where prayer comes easy. There are times where you sense the Lord's presence so near to you. And there are other times where prayer feels difficult, and God seems distant.

    How do you learn to cultivate a life of intimacy with God in every season of life?
    Tune into this message as we talk about this question (and more).
    Colossians 4:2-4 (ESV)
    2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

  • Tips to Interpret the Bible // Colossians 3:18-4:1 // Trey Hayman

    Wives submit to your husbands??? How do we make sense of texts in the Bible that say things like that? What did this mean, and what does it mean for us?


    How do you interpret the Bible?

    In this teaching, we look at the household code listed in Colossians and talk about what makes it stand out in Greco-Roman culture.
    If you've ever been curious about passage about wives/ husbands, parents/ kids, and slaves/masters and wondered why the Bible says what it says and sometimes doesn't say what you might wish it to say, this may be helpful for you.

  • Grave Clothes (Things to Put Off and Put On) // Colossians 3:5-17 // Trey Hayman

    What does it mean to find your identity in Christ? And how does this affect how we live?


    Colossians 3:5-17

    5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming.7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

  • Seek the things that are above // Colossians 3:1-4 Sermon // Trey Hayman

    Set your mind on things above. How?

    In this message, we talk about what it means to find ultimate fulfillment in Jesus and how everything else falls short.

    Colossians 3:1-4 ESV

    If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

  • On Freedom in Christ and Self-Made Religion // Colossians 2:16-23 // Trey Hayman

    Do you ever feel pressure in your life? To do something? To say something? Do you ever feel like you're not enough? Like you haven't achieved enough?


    Then, this message may be for you. We talk about the freedom we have in Christ and the invitation to experience life in Him.


    We pray it blesses you and that God speaks to you through it.

    Colossians 2:16-2316 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions,[a] puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

  • The Victory of the Cross (Easter) // Colossians 2:6-15 // Trey Hayman

    Do you struggle with shame? Feel trapped in the same old patterns? The cross of Jesus demonstrates powerful good news for you.

    Colossians 2:6-15 (ESV)
    6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits[a] of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities[b] and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.#sermon #easter #cross #jesus

  • What it means to be "faithful to Jesus" // Colossians 1:24-2:5 // Trey Hayman

    Being faithful to one thing means you have to be unfaithful to others.

    In this message we talk about being intentionally unfaithful to the world, the flesh, and the Devil, in essence being unfaithful to anything competing for your full allegiance to Jesus.

    We hope it challenges and encourages you with the goodness of Jesus and the gospel.


    Colossians 1:24-2:5 ESV

    24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.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, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.#sermon #colossians #newtestament #nashvillechurch

  • Are we supposed to judge? // Colossians 1:21-23 // Trey Hayman

    In this message, we look at Colossians 1:21-23, talking about the reconciling power of Christ. We talk about the nature of our problem, the need for adequate self-assessment, and the power of what Jesus has done for us on the cross.

    Colossians 1:21-23 (ESV)

    21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation[a] under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
