Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

I'm looking forward to our study through this book.

It is one of my absolute favorites in the going through it.

Again, reading through the whole thing again this week and just taking time to pair just kind of is exciting to me, looking forward to what we're getting into.

But today we're just going to try to cover versus 328 Colossians 1 verses 3 to 8 in the water.

We known for, what are we known for panda?

I guess I thought of this like Paul as we saw in the opening Paul.

We know him.

He's an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God.

That's what he's known for.

Right?

And we know the things that he did and what he stood for and that's the first thing that usually comes to mind and Timothy our brother we know is Timothy was a young man that that love the Lord and served alongside of Paul and Paul would send him out to visit these other cities like it Ephesus.

And then we knew the people in the colossi said the God's holy people and classy, the faithful Brothers and Sisters in Christ Grace and peace to you from God our Father.

And as we saw last week, they are God.

Holy people again down Through the Ages.

We don't know them personally, but we've heard of them because of this letter and we know that they were set apart by God for himself in the same way.

That should excite us.

Because that's what God isn't safe.

For each, one of us that we are is holy people and for them they were faithful in Christ.

They wanted to follow Christ.

They wanted to continue to grow and that's where I can.

As we talked about last week some of the heresy started coming in his people were coming and say all what you want to be a real Christian.

You got to know these things.

You got to start living this way and doing this and that and and party.

Write this letter is trying to bring them back to the truth and he doesn't attack it head-on, as we said last week, it's Daddy.

Just start sharing truth and write in.

Introduction just setting him up with the truth.

You're God's holy people already.

You don't need to follow some set of rules or follow these different religious practices.

You need to realize that you are God's holy people.

And yes, you are faithful.

You have received Christ and you are wanting to grow in him.

That is fantastic.

Well, as we go through here, we're going to to see that there were some other things that they were really known for.

As I thought through this passage and thought of the application for myself.

And it for all of us to consider is what we known for.

Why do we known for?

Again, it's a pastor.

It's interesting for me because of doing funerals.

I don't like doing funerals, but it's one of the few times and people's lives that are not Believers that they actually want to Pastor weddings and funerals.

And so, it's our opportunity to share the gospel in the hope of the Gospel.

But it's interesting because I tried to spend time with, with the families and, and what tell me about this person.

and if you start to hear what they were known for,

and I guess the question in my mind is, Wait, when I pass away, if Pastor comes talk to my family, what will I be known for?

What will you be known for?

What is it?

That will come to mine?

Or we don't even have to wait till we pass away.

Right?

If we were to go to neighbors, co-workers, just people who have seen you and said, hey, tell me about Justin, tell me about Steve.

Tell me about that.

Tell me about Bill.

What would they say?

What are we known for?

Oh, he really likes to hunt.

They are when it comes to hunting season.

It's always talks about the pulpit.

He like that.

Relates to go out into the nature and do the camping trip and stuff.

Is that what I'm going to be known for those things?

What?

What are you going to be known for?

What is it?

That's going to come to mind as people.

Think about you.

What did I say about you?

We have this little Glimpse and again, part of the background is Paul had never been to colossi as far as We Know.

He said he didn't know them.

Personally.

Will he knew epaphras who apparently was saved under Paul's Ministry and who had gone?

And told me the Colossians.

And in a church was started.

We, he knew Philemon because the church meant by Lena's house.

Apparently, at some point, Paul had actually shared the gospel with Philemon and we read that in the book of Philemon traces, man.

You owe me hear own life, even, you know, because I shared the gospel with you, is the sense that he knew these two guys, but other than that, he never really met anybody Acosta.

That we know of

But he has some wonderful things to say about them.

Why?

Because they were known for things, outside of even their immediate circles.

They were no.

For certain things.

I want you to pay attention.

If you read through here, what were they known for?

How's that compared to the things that you?

And I are known for three Colossians chapter 1, and we're going to go ahead and read from versus 328 at this point.

We always think of the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When we pray for you, because we've heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love.

You have for all God's people, the faith and love this spring from The Hope store top from you in heaven.

And about what you've already heard.

In the true message of the Gospel that is come to you.

In the same way.

The gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world.

Just as is as it has been doing among you since the day you ordered it and truly understood God's grace.

You learned it from half restored to your fellow servant, who was a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf.

And who also told us of Your Love in the spirit.

Who also told us to be loving this.

Let's pray.

They're going to start digging this a little more.

What were they known for Lord?

I do ask that you would use your word.

Which again?
