High / Low view of God
If you will not make sure that it is compatible with what the bible says about God, you are going to give up.
4 people whose view of God is apparent in their life
Colossians 4: 14-18 “Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas.
Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
Remember my chains.
Grace be with you.”
Luke wrote more of the New Testament, by word count, than any other person including Paul.
And Luke was a gentile!
Luke was a physician.
He had extensive knowledge of the human body.
He wrote the Gospel of Luke with great detail.
Point 1: Utilize your skills for ministry
we need to display God’s glory and character displayed in our work
2 Timothy was after Colossians
Would you want God’s word describing you as someone who has deserted the faith because you were in love with the world?
Point 2: Don’t get distracted by a Love for this age (v14b)
There is something appealing even to those people, when you tell them about a God is attractive to them
The world is trying to distract us with money, material wealth, etc and the love of this age.
Archippus - was Philemon’s son - he was a committed solider in Christ
Point 3: Stay focused on God’s mission
Go make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and holy Spirit,......
Job = Make Disciples
Title = Solider of Christ
Regularly acquaint yourself with the missing manual — the bible
Stay connected with other missionaries (a person on a mission)
Take Paul’s final words to heart.
“I Paul, wrote this in my own hand” Colossians 4:18
He is putting the signature on the letter.
“Remember my chains ( 2 Timothy 3:12
Point 4. Expect a Measure of Suffering (v.
18)
If we have a high view of God we will participate in the mission of God and therefore there will be persecution.
Colossian 1:2 “To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.”
Colossians 4:18 “I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
Remember my chains.
Grace be with you.”
Grace to you - ability
Grace with you - you can do it now
