We appreciate you tuning in today, because we have a really good message to share with you from one of the greatest chapters in the bible - Colossians chapter three. Pastor Jim is going to spend quite a bit of time in this chapter over the next couple of weeks because Paul’s words here so perfectly describe the life of a Christian. It’s not especially easy to be a believer in the year 2026, but we get some much needed encouragement in today’s study.

Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world. It’s a lofty goal, but one that is certainly not beyond our reach.

We are currently studying the book of Colossians, and pastor Jim is going to share today a review of what we have learned so far in chapter three. After Paul’s admonishments about false teachings in chapter two, he gives us some challenging words in chapter three about our life in Christ. Are we living dead, or living alive?

Sometimes we get impatient, discouraged, and become weary in this life.  It’s then that we need to be reminded that good and wonderful things are around the corner, and this is not all there is. It’s important at times like these, to set our hearts and minds on things above.  The hereafter is what we are to be here after, as someone has wisely noted. We join pastor Jim Jarrett in Colossians three today, as he highlights the things that matter most.

Pastor Jim Jarrett is continuing his verse by verse study of Colossians, and today we enter chapter three.  Most, if not all of us want to make a difference and a lasting impact.  And if you’re a Christian you want to live for the Lord.  However, in this life it is so easy to get off track, and start to focus on things that really don’t matter in the light of eternity.

As we complete our look at  Colossians two today, I’ll remind you that in this section of God’s word,  we’ve been studying some things that can easily distract and rip us off from what God has for us.  Legalism is a common term for this problem, and it all boils down to where you place your trust - the words of men or the words of God. Too many people today are hung up on following rules and denying themselves the good things of life in order to show God how Godly they are.

We've been studying the book of Genesis and it wasn’t long after the flood that men stopped making themselves available to God and began to pursue their own agenda. What a shame to use what God so graciously gives for our own selfish purposes.
