The Book of Colossians 3:1-11 - Week 6 | Ryan Kibbe, Aaron Peterson & Dennis Nonnenmacher

The Book of Colossians is one of THE most definitive books on the humanity, deity, and supremacy of Jesus Christ. It’s author, the apostle Paul, spends a great deal of his letter to the church at Colossae challenging heresy and legalism that diminished the work of His real grace. Paul keeps it real and simple: Christ in YOU - the hope of glory! And that letter and theme has just as much relevance for us, today! Each week, we will delve into a verse-by-verse online bible study of Colossians, showing you the historical context of this letter, the hidden gems Paul unveils, the truth held in tension, along with Biblical and modern examples for you to engage the text, and action steps for you to grow in God!

The first session starts January 16th, 2024, online at 6:30pm and will be released each Tuesday night in 2024 until the completion of our study. We hope you join us online and start your week in the word of God with us!

Colossians 3:1-11 NASB

3 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. 5 Therefore, treat the parts of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— 11 a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.
