The People Of God Are Disciplined

The people of God should be status-blind. Jesus restored the dignity of people who were at the bottom of the social pecking-order: women, the poor, children, foreigners, even lepers. Without subverting authority - and that's important to note - the Lord upheld the intrinsic value of each person. This teaching has implications for us, as His followers. Paul walks us through those in Colossians, chapter 3. Jim's sermon is called, The People of God are Disciplined.

The People of God Should Pray Hard

Prayer-full is worry-free! The fact that we need repeated encouragement to pray doesn't make us bad Christians. Apparently the first-century crew needed the same kind of teaching and stirring-up. Then, all the way to now, there seems to be a relationship between someone's time in prayer, and his or her effectiveness for the Kingdom. Jim will give us some practical suggestions as he goes through this sermon. The new addition to our People of God series is called The People of God Should Pray Hard.

The People Of God Are Dependent

Abraham Lincoln did not say, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." No matter who said it, and whether the time was originally hours or minutes, it's still a great quote. Because it reminds us that we've got to work smarter, or we will work harder. The work of the Kingdom is what Jim has in mind today, and sharpening the axe is the time we spend in prayer. The sermon is called, The People of God are Dependent. We're in Colossians, chapter 4.

The People Of God Are Contemporary

We need to cut outsiders more slack! As our study of Colossians moves forward today, first we'll need to acknowledge that are "outsiders" and "insiders," as God sees us. There is a "family circle." And the standard is going to be higher for those within the circle! Clearly we're going to need wisdom because we don't want to wink at sin while we interact graciously with sinners. And wisdom is a central theme of what we'll hear today. Here's Jim with Part 1 of, The People of God are Contemporary.

The People Of God Are Peaceful & Content

If a human being is going to have peace with God, someone is going to have to surrender! We are all born rebels. We stubbornly refuse to bow the knee to the rightful King of the Universe. We want our own way! But our war on God is hopeless, of course, and it makes us miserable. Then we hear the message of Peace; we're confronted with the gospel. Some choose to renew the fight. But for those who accept the divine terms, there is peace... and contentment.

The People Of God Are Joyful & Hopeful

Most of us know the joy of December 25th. What if we could have the same joy on December 26th? Or August 11th? If you know Christ only as the "baby in the manger," your Jesus is too small! If you know Him as the Teacher, the Healer, the Savior, the Risen Son of God... well, He is even bigger than that! And knowing Him as He is will fill us with glad confidence. Here's Jim to open the message, The People of God are Joyful and Hopeful.

The People Of God Are Caring And Courageous

The people of God are caring...and courageous. Those two words, "caring" and "courageous," are an odd pair, aren't they? We think of the people with courage out on the front lines where the battle is most fierce, while the caring folks are back in the hospitals doing their work of mercy. But, since the church has been compared to both an army and a hospital, maybe we should expect to find bravery as well as compassion in her midst. Would outsiders see both in you and me?

The People Of God Are Scripture Centered

"A man with one watch knows what time it is, and a man with two watches could never be sure." That old quip about timepieces comes to mind when we see Christians trying to live their lives both by the Word of God, and by the whims of culture. When your authorities disagree, which do you follow? Let's think some more about Colossians 3. Jim will make the case that The People of God are Scripture-Centered.

The People Of God Are Spirit Energized

"This is not a pipe." René Magritte painted a picture of a tobacco pipe and captioned it, Ceci n'est pas une pipe - "This is not a pipe." He started people thinking about what he called, "The Treachery of Images." When is a rose not a rose, but only a likeness of a rose? When is a toaster just a hunk of scrap metal? And when is a "Christian" merely a hollow facsimile of the real thing? Jim's sermon is called, The People of God are Spirit-Energized.

Forgiven People Forgive

One of the things we have to bear, as Christians - is Christians! Paul doesn't sugar-coat the situation in his letter to the Colossians. Sometimes we're just going to have to put up with each other! We are family, after all. But, unlike our "BC" selves, we now have the resources to enable that patience.
