Colossians 1 finds Paul very thankful & very prayerful. Thankful for the true believers in the church there; prayerful over their continued spiritual growth. See, he can spot a true believer by what they have, and a growing one by what they do.
So what does he want them to do?
And what do you do?
And what will God do with what you do?

There is a big difference between hearing about something & knowing about something.
Just hearing about something doesn’t change your life, knowing about it can do.
Hearing the World Cup is starting doesn't really mean anything until you get your wall chart up & start working out who is playing who & when. Hearing the lyrics to that famous song 'It Is Well' is not the same as knowing the story behind them.
The shepherds had heard about Jesus, but that wasn't enough - they wanted more.
Can the same be said about us?

Christmas lights for inside the house, Christmas lights for outside the house & Christmas lights for on the tree.
Christmas soldiers, Christmas polar bears & even Christmas puppies. 
Go onto a coffee shop and you’ll find Christmas-themed drinks & food.
Clothing-wise, Christmas socks, jumpers & hats are pretty standard for the season - frankly, I am afraid about what the future might hold with regards to our underwear.

Businesses are really cashing in on Christmas, aren't they?

Maybe us Christians can learn a little bit from that approach...

This week we studied one of the most remarkable events in world history: the birth of Christ. In terms of significance, this will only ever be matched by two other events - his death & resurrection, and his return.
It was remarkable because God became man; the long-awaited Messiah had finally arrived.
It was made even more remarkable by the fact God worked through regular, faithful believers to bring it to pass.
I wonder how this might apply to our lives, as God goes about his plan for the world today...

The Christmas story is a story that has been told so many times by so many people in so many different ways…
Firstly, this means it is not always easy to separate the truth from fable.
Secondly, even when we are able to cut through all that to what the Bible actually says, we are at risk of approaching these precious scriptures with an attitude of  “here we go again” - because we think we’ve heard the Christmas story before! And we have!
To combat this, we take time today to introduce the book of Luke. This should help us set, or re-set, our expectations when it comes to studying the story of Jesus’ birth.

What does 1 Corinthians 14 say?
This is such an important question as it is the chapter, outside of Acts 2, which provides the most information and instruction on the Spiritual Gift of Tongues (or as we prefer to call it, The Spiritual Gift of Languages).
Pastor Brian Clark takes us step by step through the chapter, leaving no doubt as to what the apostle Paul meant by it.

False doctrine on the gift of tongues leads to unbiblical spirituality, confusion, disillusionment, defeat & bad fruit.
