The Stability We Receive in Christ
| Colossians / 6 |
Stability is essential if we are to truly know freedom. But where we get our stability from is important. When we look to the things of the world for stability we inevitably find that what we thought was secure was actually uncertain and fragile. But when we look for our stability in Christ, we know that we have found certain eternal stability that will never fail. So what does that mean for us in practice? Read more

The Holiness We’ve Received

The Saviour We’ve Received
| Colossians / 3 |
When we are being rescued, it matters who our saviour is - what is their character? What are their intentions? Are they rescuing me for good or bad? This week we look at who our Saviour is. Paul uses the words of a lovely early Christian hymn to teach us about who our Saviour is. Jesus is Lord over all creation and Lord over the new creation - so what does this mean for us? Read more

Wisdom We’ve Received
| Colossians / 2 |
This week we continue to look at the prayer Paul prays over the Colossians. He reminds them of the wisdom and knowledge that they have already received because they accepted Jesus. They were being bombarded with so-called ‘wisdom’ from other sources and so Paul reminds them that the only thing we need is Jesus - all our wisdom comes from God, who gives it freely, generously to all who ask.
