Life is full of choices. The Apostle Paul encourages the small church in Colossae to seek the things which are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father and to put to death the earthly things in their lives in which they used to walk.

False teachers were influencing the small growing fellowship in Colossae. Paul commands them to not let these false brothers pass judgement or disqualify them because of their own man made requirements. Instead he tells them to hold fast to Jesus Christ who is the head of the church.

Because of who Christ is and what He has done for us, as explained in Col 1, we are commanded to walk in Him and to live our lives being built up and established in Him. Paul warns against false teachers who would take believers captive by philosophies and human traditions and not according to Christ.

Pastor Cam's final final sermon

The Apostle Paul explains his relationship to the church in Colossae and his ministry from God for the Gentiles.

Jesus is God the Son the second person of the Trinity and through his work on the cross he has reconciled mankind to God. He is the creator of all things, the Head of the church and God incarnate on earth.

Paul gives thanks for the Collisions as he testifies of their faith, hope, and love. This is the result of the word of truth, the Gospel, which they received from their own countryman Epaphras. Paul prays that they may be filled with the knowledge of His will so that they may walk in a manner pleasing to God. He declares that they have been delivered from darkness and transferred to the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus in whom they have redemption and forgiveness of sins.
