INTRODUCTION
Today we’re gonna
continue our series
In Paul’s letter
To the saints in Colossae.
Hopefully
you spent some time last week
Soaking yourselves
in this letter
& Paul’s letter
to the Ephesians.
& you may wonder why
I want you to read
these two letters together.
It’s bcs they’re
so similar.
& Ephesians expands on
Colossians in many ways.
So, by reading
both of these letters together
we get a fuller picture
of the gospel of Christ’s Kingdom.
I’m gonna keep
encouraging you—
Let’s keep reading these letters
until we know them
by heart.
Until they become
a part of us.
& let’s keep obeying
these letters
until our lives
are transformed & conformed
To the way of life
Christ commands us to live
in these letter.
Let’s turn together
in our Bibles to
Colossians
chapter 1.
& were gonna read
verses 3-6.
Colossians 1:3-6.
& when you find that
in your Bible
pls stand for the reading
of God’s Word.
The title of today’s teaching is
Thank God!
In Colossians 1:3-6
The Scriptures say:
Colossians 1:3–6 (NIV)
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people—
the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel
that has come to you.
In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.
You may be seated.
Are you thankful to God?
The phrase:
“Give thanks”
in connection w/
thanking God
appears over thirty times
in the Scriptures.
& in 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
We’re encouraged to:
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)
...give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
God’s will for us
is that we give thanks
to Him in all circumstances.
God both desires & deserves
our gratitude.
In good times
& bad times.
On the mountains
& in the valleys.
In times of prosperity
& times of poverty
We always
have so much
for which
we can thank God.
& in our passage today
Paul reminds us
of at least three reasons
God’s ppl shld
Thank God!
PRAYER
Let’s pray.
Lord
We thank You
for Your Word—
Your truth.
As the Lord Jesus prayed
we pray now
make us holy
by Your truth—
As You give us both
