Colossians 4:7-18 ⁷Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.⁸I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.⁹He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here. ¹⁰My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.)¹¹Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are t [...]

Colossians 4:2-6 ²Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.³And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.⁴Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.⁵Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.⁶Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Colossians 3:22-4:1 ²²Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.²³Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,²⁴since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.²⁵Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism. 4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Colossians 3:15-17 ¹⁵Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.¹⁶Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.¹⁷And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:12-1412 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.Download Message Powerpoint

Colossians 3:5-11 ⁵Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.⁶Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.⁷You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.⁸But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.⁹Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices¹⁰and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Colossians 3:1-4 3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.²Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.³For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.⁴When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Colossians 2:20-23 ²⁰Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:²¹“Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”?²²These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.²³Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Colossians 2:16-1916 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.Download Message Powerpoint

Colossians 2:13-15 ¹³When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,¹⁴having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.¹⁵And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Colossians 2:9-12 ⁹For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,¹⁰and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.¹¹In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ,¹²having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

Matthew 28:16-20 ¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.¹⁷When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Colossians 2:6-86 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and over owing with thankfulness. 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.⁸See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

Colossians 2:1-5 2 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.²My 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,³in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.⁴I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.⁵For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.

Colossians 1:24-29 ²⁴Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.²⁵I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—²⁶the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.²⁷To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. ²⁸He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that [...]

Colossians 1:21-23 ²¹Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.²²But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—²³if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. Download Powerpoint
