Colossians: Prominent VS Preeminent
Tuesday May 26, 2015
Tuesday May 26, 2015
Colossians 1:16 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.There's a big difference between someone being prominent vs being preeminent. If you say something is in your top five that's prominent. But if I were to say that about my wife...well it wouldn't go so well for me. Preeminent, first, above all others. There's an eternal difference between Jesus being prominent in your life and being preeminent. In this sermon we'll look at Colossians 1:15-20 were the Apostle Paul teaches about the preeminence of Christ.Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday May 24th, 2015.

Colossians: Willing, Walking, and Knowing

Colossians 1:9-10 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, 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. Who
was the church in Colosse? They were a mixed bag of ethnicity,
religious upbringing, conservative, liberal, and struggling group of
people who desperately wanted to follow Jesus. It sounds a whole lot
like the church in Galena. Maybe yours too. Join us as we begin this
study into the book of Colossians and begin to see what it means to have
Christ be preeminent in our affections, actions, and thought.Delivered to the Galena Bible Church by Pastor Chris Kopp, Sunday May 17th, 2015.

Jesus Questions: Do you love me?

John 21:15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" I
can't imagine what the the disciples must have felt when Jesus died and
then came back to them. The emotional roller coaster of sorrow, grief,
joy, uncertainty, doubt must have been exhausting. In that environment
Jesus lovingly calls Peter back to the time when Jesus called him as a
disciple. He also called him back to a coal fire where Peter cursed him.
To both these memories, Jesus asks "Do you love me?" Jesus reminds us
that he called us when we've gone astray, but he also reminds us that he
loves us at our most unlovable moment. He asks you today,
"____________, Do you love me?"Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday May 10th, 2015.

Jesus Questions: Why do you call me good?

Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.Are
you good? For most people this is a pretty easy questions for them to
answer: "Of course I'm good." Isn't it interesting that our standard of
goodness is always low enough that we manage to fit in it? Jesus'
standard of goodness was God. I think we may need to raise our
standard. Sermon delivered to the Galena Bible Church Sunday May 3rd, 2015.
