01 How to Study the Psalms
The key to understanding Hebrew poetry is knowing that the “rhyme” of ideas is more important than the sounds. This “rhyming” of ideas is called parallelism.
10 Colossians 4:2-18 Continue in Prayer
How are we to understand these various Scripture verses that encourage us to persevere in prayer, continue to pray, pray without ceasing, and pray at all times. Can we fulfill them by setting an app on our smart phones to remind us to pray 15 minutes of every hour? If not number of minutes, what are the authors asking us to do?
09 Colossians 3:18-4:1 Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
In this series of exhortations, Paul explains how belief in the gospel changes how you act in three pairs of relationships: wives/husbands, children/parents and slaves/masters. The overarching theme in this section is to live all our relationships as bond servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing ultimately we serve him. The challenge is to resist the tendency to “win.” Instead we are to recognize God has a higher prior claim on our lives and seek to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ — in whatever situation we find ourselves.
08 Colossians 3:8-17 Real Gospel Change
Paul has been warning the Colossians that they are in danger of becoming like the Pharisee in the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18). Essentially, he warns: Don’t trust in your law-keeping; trust in the blood of Christ and the hope of the gospel. Then you’ll see real gospel change.
07 Colossians 3:1-7 Set your mind on the things above
The point of Christianity is NOT how do I make this world a better place. The point is where am I going to spend eternity and how do I know?
