In Ephesians 5, the apostle Paul gives a familiar command: "Give thanks." Yet this attitude doesn't exist in a vacuum - our thankfulness to God is set in the broader context of godly character and actions. In this study, we examine this context and how believers' lives give evidence of our salvation.

Paul’s letter to the Church in Colossae begins on an encouraging note as he thanks God for bringing the Colossians to faith and for indwelling within them a love and a hope that are supernatural.

Paul introduces himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God. The words Paul writes are not merely the opinion of the great missionary but are the authoritative words of God. Here, Paul proclaims his testimony with his heart. In this message, we are challenged to test our own passion for the Gospel – “Do we have a testimony? Can we define our lives before and after we understood that Christ died for our salvation?”

The challenge for today’s churches to remain rooted in the truth of the Gospel is not new. In fact, the church in Colossae during the days of the Apostle Paul was influenced by many worldly falsehoods, including superstition, mythology and even simple error in doctrinal translation. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul imposes two key messages which are as applicable today as they were then. First, he re-confirms that all things were created and hold together through Jesus Christ and that we must walk with Him and hold steadfast to our faith in His saving power. Paul then provides ...

Along with love and truth, Colossians 3 instructs us that the church is to be marked by peace and the Word of God. Where differences threaten our fellowship, how do we find this peace? By remembering the lengths Jesus went to on Calvary, we are motivated to let His peace rule in our hearts and to pursue peace in our relationships with each other. When a deep love for His Word inspires us, we not only read and study it, but consider its meaning and how to apply it in our lives.

Many people perceive religion as an external add-on that doesn’t affect the rest of their lives at all. But Paul encourages the Colossians to a dynamic “faith that functions” and impacts every area of daily living. The Word of God is to have a central place in our lives, and our hunger for it indicates spiritual healthiness. As the Word guides our actions and choices, and also our songs of praise, we respond with thankful hearts for all that He is and has done for us.

Ask what makes a good worship service, and you are likely to get many different responses. In this study from Psalm 100, we see the Bible's answer: we need to know God. God's people are exhuberant, joyful, and thankful in corporate expressions of worship as all that we know of him forms the foundation of our praise.

Generous and joyful giving should be an overflow of our gratitude. In Exodus 35, the Israelites set an example for us of abundant giving to the Lord’s work.

Has our culture forgotten how to be thankful? What is the motivation for genuine gratitude? Regardless of our relative blessings in life, the apostle Paul writes that true thankfulness is the attitude of a believer who understands and appreciates what he or she has received through Christ’s death on the cross. And this kind of gratitude will do a number of things: 1. They will turn our gaze to God and away from ourselves and our circumstances. 2. Such overflowing gratitude defends against the devil’s insinuation to despair and to distrust. The devil comes and says, our whole thing’s finished. ...
