Sermon Outline

A Church To Be Thankful For
Colossians 1:3-8

1. They had a faith you could see 1:4a

In Christ they have a new object of devotion.

They have a new king


2. They had a love you could see 1:4b

Indiscriminate love

Costly love

Spirit animated love (see 1:8)


3. Their faith and love were based on a certain hope

4. Their growth depended upon continuing as they had begun 5b-7a


Do you pray for your church, your pastors, your deacons, your brothers and sisters in Christ?

Does your assurance spring from a robust love for Christ that issues forth in obedience? How have you seen that obedience expressed lately?

Does your assurance spring forth from a love for others? How have you seen that love expressed in recent days?

How do you find yourself motivated to love Christ and others? Wherein lies your hope? Do you meditate on that hope specifically and biblically?

Are you convinced of the truth and sufficiency of the Gospel? How does this help you fight the temptation to embrace or long for anything alongside or in addition to the Gospel of Christ?
