  • 1 the Supremacy of Christ the Gospel Encourages Participation
    The Supremacy of Christ The Gospel Encourages Participation Colossians 4:7-18 Introduction Today is our final message on the letter to the Colossians and the Supremacy of Christ. As we learned Colossae was a city in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), situated in the Lycus River valley about 110 miles south-east of Ephesus. It was a prominent city in classical Greek times because of its importance in producing dyed wool and its location on the trade route between Ephesus and the East. It was close to two other cities, Hierapolis and Laodicea, both mentioned in the New Testament. These two cities gradually eclipsed Colossae, and by the time Paul wrote this letter to the Colossians, it was a small and relatively unimportant city. Paul didn’t found the Colossian church, it was one of the churches evangelized by Epaphras, a disciple of Paul's (Col.4.12-13). Epaphras had become alarmed about a cult that was developing in the Colossian church, and since Paul was imprisoned in Rome, he went there to consult with him. Paul agreed the situation was serious and decided to write a letter to the Colossians. Paul begins his letter by thanking God for the Colossians and their decision to become followers of Christ. He commends them for receiving the “gospel” (the good news that Jesus is the Messiah and that through His death, we can be forgiven and reconciled to God. Paul also rejoices that the “gospel” is changing their lives. By accepting Jesus and receiving Eternal Life, the Holy Spirit has given them a sense of inner peace and new hope for their lives.

  • Six Disciples: Epaphras, the Power of Prayer” Colossians 1:1-8; 4:12-13 a Sermon by Rev
    “Six Disciples: Epaphras, The Power of Prayer” Colossians 1:1-8; 4:12-13 A Sermon by Rev. Bob Kells A 6 year-old girl who was asked to return thanks before the family reunion dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. She began to pray, thanking God for all her friends, naming them one by one. Then she thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all her aunts and uncles. After that, she began to thank God for the food. She gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even the Cool Whip. Then she paused, and everyone waited--and waited. After a long silence, the young girl looked up at her mother and asked, "If I thank God for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm lying?" (SLIDE 1, TITLE) We’ve been looking at the lives of some lesser-known disciples in this sermon series, examining their lives in Christ and what their experiences of Christ can teach us about being faithful disciples today. In previous weeks, we learned about obedience, self-giving love and leading with your gifts from people with strange names: Ananias, Epaphroditus and Phoebe. These disciples became part of the story of the Jesus movement—part of God’s story—because they yielded their lives to God. They allowed God to use them to accomplish important tasks that gave witness to God’s love. This week, we meet another unknown disciple whose name also is strange to us: Epaphras.

  • ESV Study Bible: Colossians Excerpt
    INTRODUCTION TO THE LEttER OF PAUL TO THE Colossians Author and Title Paul and Timothy are explicitly named as the authors of Colossians (1:1). Timothy probably served as Paul’s secretary (amanuensis) since the first person singular (“I”) is used throughout the letter (e.g., 1:24). The title indicates that Paul wrote the letter to Christians living in the small city of Colossae. Some scholars have doubted Paul’s authorship based on (1) a style of writing that they deem inconsistent with his uncontested letters, and (2) a set of theological statements that they regard as more developed than what he wrote in previous letters. The latter objection is readily answered by the unique situation reflected in the letter, leading Paul to address these particular concerns with the most relevant theological emphases. There is nothing in the theology that is inconsistent with what he wrote elsewhere, and many of his state- ments are simply logical developments of previous thoughts. The argument about style is much weaker since there is, in fact, strong continuity of style between this letter and his other letters. It is also quite precarious to make a judgment about authorship based on such a small sampling of letters. It is inappropri- ate to expect an author to demonstrate stylistic uniformity throughout all his works. Date The letter was probably written c. a.d. 62. Paul wrote it at roughly the same time that he wrote Philemon and Ephesians. All three letters were sent with Tychicus (see Eph. 6:21) and Onesimus. This date assumes that the imprisonment Paul speaks of is his Roman imprisonment that followed his harrowing voyage to Rome (Acts 27–28).

  • You're Among Friends
    You’re Among Friends Part 3 Colossians 4:7-16 Sunday October 27, 2019 Pastor Wayne Hart Scripture Reading Colossians 4:12-15 Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you. Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that is in his house.(Colossians 4:12-15) Main Idea: Knowing Christ and honoring Christ with my life connects us to new friends all around the world. Question: Who are these people? I. Who is Epaphras? II. Who is Luke? III. Who is Demas? IV. Who is Nymphas?

  • Epaphras: a Prayerful and Hard-Working Man Summer Sermon Series “God Uses People Like Me” Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer June 18, 2017
    Epaphras: A Prayerful and Hard-working Man Summer Sermon Series “God Uses People Like Me” Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer June 18, 2017 TEXT: Colossians 1:1-10, 4:12-13 We continue this morning in our summer series: God Uses People Like Me, and we turn our attention to another of the minor characters in the New Testament. Many names in the New Testament are very familiar to us, names like Peter, John, Mary, or Paul, but there are actually many more names in the New Testament that are given the space of just a verse or two, people like Susanna, Demetrius, Gaius, or, this morning, the man that we meet in Colossians named Epaphras. Epaphras is a minor character, and yet he made a major impact on the growth of the Kingdom of God. We want to look at this character, this life, what we know of it, because it is instructive for all of us to see how God uses very ordinary people like you and me to advance His Kingdom in the world. When you see someone working effectively for the Kingdom of God, mentoring others, caring about discipleship, working hard in the Lord's vineyard, there is always a back story to that. No one comes out of the womb thinking and acting that way, and so it is with Epaphras. I want us to learn together the back story behind this prayerful and hard-working man that we meet in passing in Colossians. Turn with me to the Book of Acts 19 for the back story to that.

  • Reteaching/Study Guide from Lakeside's Online Worship Sunday
    Reteaching/Study Guide from Lakeside’s Online Worship Sunday, November 15, 2020, Sermon by Dr. Greg Corbin, Senior Pastor “People in Church” –Colossians 4:7-18 “16 After this letter has been read at your gathering, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus, “Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.” 18 I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.” Colossians 4:16-18 Christian Standard Bible God’s Church is truly amazing. He draws together people from a variety of backgrounds, passions, and abilities and unites them into the one Body of Christ, an unstoppable force empowered by the Holy Spirit and equipped with His grace in such a way that the gates of hell cannot stand against it. Under Christ’s lordship, the church is a network of relationships connecting people into a community to carry the Gospel until He returns. People in the church have the wonderful privilege of being a part of something greater than themselves. They have the opportunity to glorify and serve God. They also have the joy of enriching one another’s lives as they work together and minister to each other. In the closing verses of Colossians, Paul reflected upon some of the people in the church who had served with him and ministered to him. Through his reflections, he highlighted three principles about people in the church.

FUNG MARCH 2016 ABSTRACT Training Everyday Missionaries and Disciple-making Disciples with Irvine Presbyterian Church Gabriel C. Fung Doctor of Ministry School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary 2016 The purpose of this doctoral project was to implement a pilot missional community as one way of helping Irvine Presbyterian Church live out their mission, “to make disciples who make disciples.” It proposed helping congregants shift their understanding from church as a place to church as a people by training and equipping them to be everyday missionaries and disciple-making disciples within the vehicle of a missional community, which can be described as an extended family following Jesus on mission together. To test this thesis, a pilot missional community was launched in March 2014 and is currently ongoing with around thirty participants. Through an exploration of Scripture, this project identified God as the original missional community. Accordingly, God’s people are called to join him on his mission in the world: Jesus’ disciples are missionary disciples and the Church is the Spirit-led and empowered sent people of God.
