Gods people have a privileged position. They are God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved. So because of their new identity in Jesus they are challenged by Paul to be clothed in new virtues and to behave toward one another. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schroders-bible-bits/message

Colossians 2:20-23:: Paul is encouraging the Colossians to walk in Jesus, to continue in him being rooted and built up in Jesus.

This is a Bible talk I gave to senior school students on Colossians 2:6-8. The challenge from this bit of the Bible is to not only receive Jesus Christ as Lord but to walk in him and mature in him. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schroders-bible-bits/message

Paul writes on in Colossians. He endures hardship for the sake of the Colossians working hard to make known the mystery about Jesus the saviour. This same mystery has been made known to us too- don’t miss it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schroders-bible-bits/message

Paul writes on in Colossians 1 to give detail about The Son in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Paul teaches the Colossians that Jesus is supreme because: 1) Jesus made all things, 2) Jesus rules all things, 3) Jesus saves all things and 4) Jesus saves you! Colossians 1:15-23 are wonderful verses that put Jesus’ supremacy right in our faces, so sit back and take it all in, enjoy it and let Jesus rule- He really is supreme! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schroders-bible-bits/message

Paul prays for the Colossians, that they wouldn’t think too little of the gospel. Instead they need to know it, grow in it and joyfully five thanks to God for it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schroders-bible-bits/message

This is the first of 10 talks I’m giving in Senior School Chapel. It’s all about how the Colossians not only knew the original message of the gospel but they truely understood it. It was this understanding that made a difference to their faith, love, hope and Christian maturity. Check out the slides I spoke to for this talk at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h192huudp3i4f1t/1.%20Colossians%201.1-8.pptx?dl=0 You can get in touch with me via Twitter: @mrk_schroder --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/schroders-bible-bits/message

This talk is based on 2 Samuel 22:47- "‘The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Saviour! King David in 2 Samuel sings a song about his life and at the end, he gives credit to the muscle behind his successes. We ought to be able to identify with David in this verse, for like him we experience victory and success but also turmoil and sadness. In one moment we are full of energy and in another we are exhausted. One day we have plenty while in another day we have little. Our world is ever changing. We are ever changing and things never stay the same.  So as we begin 2019, our college verse should encourage us. For like David, although our life is full of all kinds of commotion, in the end- because of Jesus, we will win through to a period of peace. Yes, God is our rock in our daily grind, but what’s even better is that in Jesus, God has delivered us from the turmoil of sin. In this Bible talk I encourage our college community to to rely on God, our living rock, our saviour. ---
