God's complete work needs no additives

Curtin Community Church — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:32:17 GMT

What would you say to a group of people who have been Christians for 12 months and find themselves looking after and teaching one another in a new church? Our temptation is to fence them in with a bunch of rules to keep them on the straight and narrow. Paul write to just such a church in Colossae and tells them they have all they need in Jesus, and don't listen to the people who try and impose rules on them.

God's plan for the world

The apostle Paul is writing to a small church to encourage them to continue to grow and mature as Christians. He has been praying that they would know God's will, and now he writes to tell them about God's plan, through Jesus, for the entire creation. Our pastor, David Rowbottom, encourages us to have a big view of Jesus, his work on the cross, his church, and what happens as people trust in his gospel as we speak to them in our stumbling words.

God at work, through the gospel, in you

Prayer is one of those areas of Christian life that many people struggle to be disciplined about. Paul, on the other hand, seems to find no trouble constantly wrestling in prayer for churches he has not even met. This week our pastor, David Rowbottom, explains the content and commitment of Paul's prayers for the Colossian church, and challenges us to imitate him.
