Colossians 1:9-14
Colossians 1:9-14 Holiness in the life of a Christian means 'walking in a manner worthy of the Lord." This occurs through the gospel. By grace, we understand the gospel and as we do so we bear fruit and increase in our knowledge of God. Therefore, to the extent that we understand the gospel will be to the extent that we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

Colossians 1:3-8
Colossians 1:3-8 What does it mean to have faith in Christ Jesus? Does it mean simply believing facts about Jesus? This first paragraph in the letter to the Colossians explains the nature of grace as it works to produce faith in Jesus and love for his people. These two things happen as a result of the hope of the gospel to bring about nothing short of new creation. As the gospel is preached, the power of God is unleashed upon the world.

Colossians Intro
Colossians 1:1-2 The book of Colossians is written to a very young church in the Roman Province of Asia minor (modern Turkey). This church was faced with questions of what it meant to be mature Christians; namely did it mean becoming Jews with allegiance to the Law. The letter stresses that maturity is found in allegiance to Jesus and that those who are in Christ are the covenant people of God with all the blessings of grace and peace.

Gospel-Centered Sex
Gospel-Centered Sex The Gospel changes my view on my body and other people's body, therefore changing my view on sex. Too often sexual immorality is discussed in categories of "right or wrong" rather than in "image of God" categories. The gospel calls me to understand my body as being created in the image of God to bring glory to God. Sexuality then becomes either a means of glory or destruction.

Gospel-Centered Parenting
Gospel-Centered Parenting What is the goal of parenting? Do those goals differ between Christians and non-Christians? What does it mean to bring up my children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord? In the fifth part of our series on the gospel-centered home, we examine the nature of Christian parenting as discipleship. Our children are disciples. By observing our lives are they being discipled in the American Dream or the Kingdom dream?

Gospel-Centered Wives
Gospel-Centered Wives What does it mean to be a gospel-centered wife? In our continuing series on the gospel-centered home, we examine the relationship of a wife to Jesus and to her husband. How does a gospel-centered wife relate to Jesus and how does that effect her relationship to her husband? Are these relationships of religion and duty or of grace and redemption?

Gospel-Centered Husbands
Gospel-Centered Husbands A gospel-centered husband is one who cultivates the gospel in himself and in his wife. Far too many husbands spend their time cultivating their careers and their hobbies rather than the gospel. By reorienting our lives to Jesus, we have THE example of what a gospel- centered husband should be in Christ's relationship to his bride, the church.

Gospel-Centered Marriage
If Jesus is the reigning Lord of heaven and earth, then discipleship (true Christianity) is measured not simply by what I believe, but by how I live my life in relation to the rule of Jesus in my marriage. Is the gospel the center of my marriage? If not, what is? Why do I believe these other things, idols, should be at the center of my marriage?

Gospel-Centered Singleness
Gospel-Centered Singleness Singles are often times categorized in the church -- "not yet married." This makes them seem "incomplete" or "second class" at times. In the first message of the Gospel-Centered Home series, we take an in-depth look at gospel-centered singleness. The gospel calls singles to embrace their current state of singleness as a gift from God in order to maximize their effectiveness for the gospel. What does this mean biblically? Practically? What are the obstacles? What are the solutions?
