INTRODUCTION
Today we’re gonna
continue our series
in Colossians.
Let’s turn together
in our Bibles
to Colossians 2.
& we’re gonna
read verses 1-4.
Colossians 2:1-4.
& when you
find Colossians 2:1-4
in Your Bible
Pls stand
for the reading
of God’s Word.
The title of
today’s teaching is:
Fight for One Another
in Prayer
In Colossians 2:1-4
the Scriptures say:
Colossians 2:1–4 (NIV)
I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
You may be seated.
I’m gonna say some words
& I want you
to notice
the 1st thought
that comes to your mind.
Contending.
Fighting.
Struggling.
Working Hard.
Agonizing.
Prayer is probably
not the 1st thing
you thought of
when I said those words.
I often hear ppl
describe prayer as a
constant conversation
btwn us & God.
& there is some
truth in that.
We can have
a constant conversation
w/ God
as we go abt
our daily lives.
But Scriptural prayer
is much more
than having
a conversation w/ God.
Prayer is warfare.
When we pray
we enter into
a spiritual battle
for our souls
& the souls
of others.
In today’s passage
Paul talks abt
how he struggled
fought
& went to war
in prayer
for God’s ppl.
& that’s
just the type
of prayer life
God calls
every one of
His ppl
to be engaged in.
So, today
we’ll talk abt
a few things
we shld focus on
in prayer
as we learn to
Fight for One Another
in Prayer
PRAYER
Let’s pray.
Lord
it’s such
a privilege
to have Your
precious Words.
Open our understanding
so we may fully
comprehend
the truths You want
to teach us.
Bring our understanding
in line w/ the Faith
