Colossians 1:15 (NIV) The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Paul uses a well-known hymn to teach the believers in Colossae about the supremacy of Christ.

Yesterday, we learned that if you've seen Christ, you've seen God because Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. 

Today, we learn the second Truth about Christ - He is the "firstborn" over all creation. That word "firstborn" has been misinterpreted many times. 

Listen to this 2-minute Bible study podcast as we uncover the history and culture of that day to learn exactly what Paul means to say here.

Colossians 1:15 (NIV)  The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

This week, we will look at the hymn Paul breaks out into. 

The early Church teachers taught believers deep theological truths by using hymns. 

Why?

Because they were short. Easy to remember. Therefore, God's Truth would not be taught incorrectly as the believers taught other believers. 

Today's Truth: We can see everything about God by looking at Jesus.

Colossians 1:11 (NIV) being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience

Do you ever feel embarrassed when asked to pray publicly?

Imagine this, a friend calls you and says she’s not sure what she’s doing with her life. She feels lost, scared and alone. What do you do?

You ask if you can pray for her and then do it right there with her on the phone.

And the great thing is that Paul tells us exactly what to pray.

The past several episodes we’ve studied his prayer for the Colossians in chapter one. And you know what? This pray is as applicable today as it was 2,000 years ago.

This is a powerful prayer that you can pray the rest of your life.

Join us today as we complete our study of this incredible prayer. This is a prayer that you will pray the rest of your life. Guaranteed.

Listen now! 

Colossians 1:9-10 (NIV) For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God

Have you ever wondered what God's will is for your life? Me, too. 

Paul teaches us how to ask God for wisdom about His will in Colossians chapter one. 

So far, we've learned to pray:

1. God, show me your will and how to apply it to my life
2. Help me live a life worthy of you, pleasing you in every way
3. Help me bear good fruit

Today, we learn the fourth thing. This one request of God will open your eyes in an incredible way.

Listen now!

Colossians 1:9-10a (NIV) For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way

We've been looking at Paul's powerful prayer that he prayed for the believers in Colossae.

In the past 2 episodes, we learned to pray, "God, show me YOUR will (not mine). Teach me how to apply it to my life."

Today, we explore the 2nd request that Paul makes in his prayer: God, help me live a life worthy of you, and please you in every way.

The phrase  "live a life" in the original Greek language gives us great insight in how to apply this prayer in our lives.

We will also look at what the Holy Spirit's job in this process and what is our job?
