    PAUL NEVER CLAIMED HE ACCOMPLISHED GREAT THINGS FOR CHRIST BY HIMSELF. HE SAID HE HAD A LOT OF HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS, AND HE RECOGNIZED THEM FOR THEIR HELP.

    With A Little Help From My Friends Text: Colossians 4:7-18 Introduction. Sometimes, I’m sure, we’re all surprised at how things get done.

    5 of 5 messages from Colossians. This message focuses on the importance of faithful friends.

    Life 101: Connecting with Others The Faithful Friend A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

    Finishing my series in Colossians, heeding Paul’s calling to pray for each other and live wisely. Also, a reminder that people are still being imprisoned for the faith, just as Paul was when he wrote this letter.

    Like some of Paul’s companions in prison, we may be held back by tasks too small, by shame, or even by our own prejudices. But once we accept our limitations as part of God’s will, they become ways to help others and fulfill our life callings.

    If you suffer severe limitations, what do you wish for? What is your prayer, if you are bound by something that keeps you from doing what you really want to do? Do you wish you could be free from it? Likely you do. Do you even pray that you might have that limitation removed? I expect that I ...read more

    There are times that much wrestling is required in prayer. Epaphras was an excellent example of this.

     | 7,366 views

    I have often said the greatest gift God has given to us (second only to Jesus) is the Church. There are so many benefits to being not only a part of the body of Christ on the earth, but a part of a local body of believers.

    WHO IS YOUR EPAPHRAS? Text: Colossians 4:12 “Epaphras, who is one of you, says ‘hello’. What a trooper he has been! He’s been tireless in his prayers for you, praying that you’ll stand firm, mature and confident in everything God wants you to do. I’ve watched him closely and can assure you that he ...read more
