Looking to Glory: "Worthy of Praise" | Colossians 4:7-18

We enter the new year with the last of the messages from our study in Colossians. In this section, Paul closes out his letter to the church in Colossae and sends regards from the believers in prison with him in Rome. While we might be tempted to skip over a list of names like this, each one represents a unique story of salvation and faithfulness which helps us understand our own realities and relationships in light of the Gospel. The good news of Jesus and His love for us fuels a passion for relationships in a world of shallow or apathetic friendships and gives meaning to our labors; it's not just a meaningless grind, everything and everyone is a mission field (including us!)

Best. News. Ever.

Paul, writing to the church in Colossae, reminds them of the sufficiency and worthiness of Christ over and above all of their worldly pressures and temptations to buckle down in their own power and “do righteousness.” We, likewise, whether we’re comparing ourselves to Christ or comparing ourselves to other people, find, unsurprisingly, that we fall short. This is often a blow to our pride and knocks us off of our pedestal. But instead of relinquishing the pedestal to Christ, we try to scramble back onto it and stand “even firmer” in our righteousness...this time for sure! We hope that you’ll join us this Sunday as we walk back through Colossians 2:6-15 and study how the Gospel grants full and final freedom from this self-inflicted performance-based prison.
