Colossians: The Gospel to You
Monday Aug 03, 2015
Monday Aug 03, 2015
The Gospel is personal. The Gospel is relational. The Gospel is Missional. These ideas are how Paul ends his letter to the church in Colossae. And it's something we need to remember.Sermon delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday August 2nd, 2015 by pastor Chris Kopp.

Colossians: "Jesus and..." - Why religion cannot save.

Colossians 2:16-17 Therefore let no one
pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a
festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things
to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.Every
society ever discovered has some form of religious practice. The action
of doing certain things, or not doing certain things in an effort to
please a god or gods. If your faith is in what you do, rather than
repenting in light of what Jesus did, your faith is in religion, and it
will not save. In this text we look at how Paul calls the Colossian
believers to fix their hope on Christ and not on any religious practice
as their source of salvation security.Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday June 28th, 2015.

Colossians: Beware the false gospel
Monday Jun 22, 2015
Monday Jun 22, 2015
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one
takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human
tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not
according to Christ.Paul
agonized for this little church because of the man centered false
gospel that was being taught there. Like a salesman selling a lead vest
as a life preserver, a false gospel has the trappings of what we want,
but the inability to actually save. The Gospel of Jesus is our only
hope.Sermon Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday June 21st, 2014

Colossians: Christ in you the Hope of Glory
Monday Jun 15, 2015
Monday Jun 15, 2015
Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to
make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of
this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.There
is a mystery in the work of Christ that is not revealed in nature. It
must be revealed through a supernatural move of God. Paul says that he
has revealed this mystery to the Gentile churches through two means: a
stewardship of suffering, and fully and faithfully preaching the Gospel.
In this sermon we look at Colossians 1:24-29 and see how we can reveal
Christ in us, the hope of Glory.Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday June 14th, 2015.

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
Monday May 18, 2015
Monday May 18, 2015
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.
