Colossians 2:1 I have taken a fondness to this verse. Here Paul is talking about those that live just about 10 and half miles west of Colosse (to whom he was writing this letter). He was concerned for Colosse and her neighbors. He was concerned that the neighbors,...

Colossians 1:23-29 with a focus on verses 23 and 28. Notice in verse 23 it says if we continue in faith grounded and settled and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, but what is missing is the then clause; as in if…then. From verse 23 all the way through 28...

Colossians 1:19-22 is today’s text with an emphasis on verse 22. I think many ladies struggle with our image, and who we are in Christ. This seems even more prevalent; at least in my life, when we have a misstep. When we did something wrong, the guilt comes and does...

Go ahead and read Colossians 1:18. Jesus is who He is, and therefor He might have preeminence. This got me thinking about His place in my life. Intellectually I know He should have preeminence, yet do I give Him preeminence in every area in my life? Hmm, I have some...

Colossians 1:16 is a very interesting verse to me. We have a verse reminding us that Jesus was part of the creation process. Often times I think we think of creation being limited to the 6 days of creation and on the 7th day He rested. Reread verse 16 if you will. Not...

Colossians 1:12 reminds me to be thankful for the gift of heavenly salvation. When was that last time we thanked God for our salvation? The day we were saved? On our spiritual birthday? On a special occasion? I am going now to express some thanks and I hope you do...

Colossians 1:8-9 These verses I am passionate about. Paul once he heard of their love in the Spirit, of their common faith dedicated himself to pray for them. Why? Simply because he wanted them to fully know and understand God’s will. Maybe you are at a point in...

Colossians 1:5-8 is very interesting if we ask the right questions. Go ahead and read the passage so we can ask questions of ourselves. How lovely was the testimony of believers that traveled near and far. The reputation of the Christians at Colosse was a good one. A...

Take a moment to read Colossians 1:2-4. One thing that the world accuses the church of is not getting along with one another. Imagine if all believing churches had the kind of fellowship with one another that Paul is talking about. Paul was writing to a group of...

It is that time again to get our Bibles and open it up. This devotion will focus on Colossians 1:1. Go ahead and read the short verse. I think often times there is a nugget in this verse that is overlooked and I do not want us to miss it. Paul is setting up this...
