#1. Paul’s Prayer: …the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, [6] which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth (v.5-6)   I am sinful (Rom 3.10) -- Jesus cleanses me (1 John 1.7) I am God’s enemy (Rom 8.7) -- Jesus makes me His child (1 John 3.1) I am a child of God’s wrath (Eph 2.3) -- Jesus makes me new (2 Cor 5.17)

#1. Paul’s Prayer: [9] And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, [10] so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. [11] May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. [12] giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

#2. Christ’s Pre-eminence: Colossians 1.15-23

#2. Christ’s Pre-eminence: Colossians 1.15-23 “…the heresy of Colosse that evoked this Epistle was a local development that arose because of the peculiar situation of the city. Colosse was on the trade route from the East, along which the oriental religions as well as oriental merchandise were transported to Rome. The Colossians… religious antecedents were highly emotional and mystical. They were seeking to attain the fullness of God, and when teachers came among them with a philosophy that promised mystic knowledge of God, they were entranced by it.” Tenney, New Testament Survey ‘Colossians’ pg.321

#2. Christ’s Pre-eminence: Colossians 1.15-23 [15] He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. [16] For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. [17] And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.  [18] And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be pre-eminent. [19] For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, [20] and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross. [21] And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, [22] He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, [23] if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

#2. Christ’s Pre-eminence: Colossians 1.15-23 “The answer to this heresy lay not in extended argument, but in a positive presentation of the person of Christ.
