| 1 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 01) Introduction | 4315 | The Colossians were a victorious, glowing church but had a problem in its beginning stages that caused Paul to fear. The subtle error was making Christ prominent (first), not preeminent (one and only). We get off-center in our Christian lives when we have good things--prayer, Bible study, missions--in the center that are not Christ. | Ed Miller | Colossians_01Introduction.mp3 | Colossians 1 - 4 | ||||||
| 2 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 02) Christ Preeminent In Creation | 4315 | Make Christ central to your life the same way He is central to creation. As the firstborn, that is, the heir, how rich Jesus Christ must be to take upon Himself the needs of all creation! Seeing Christ as everything in creation should sanctify nature to us. | Ed Miller | Colossians_02ChristPreeminentInCreation.mp3 | Colossians 1:1-17 | ||||||
| 3 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 03) Christ Preeminent In Redemption | 4315 | "The more Christ becomes preeminent in my life," Ed shares, "the more He will be the source of my life, the more He will maintain my life, and the more my life will be for Him and for His glory." As great an illustration as the created universe is, it is a poor representative of the glory of Christ when contrasted with God "exhausting Himself" for redemption! Redemption is so great because of how great our Reeemer is.

| 4 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 04) Christ Preeminent In Church | 4315 | God has made Christ preeminent in the Church, as illustrated by the head (brain) of the body. The Head controls everything and unifies the Body. Not only is the brain the sufficiency of the body but also its life. | Ed Miller | Colossians_04ChristPreeminentInChurch.mp3 | Colossians 1:18-19, 1:24-29, 2:19 | ||||||
| 5 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 05) Chapter 2:1-10: Preeminent In Education | 4315 | The whole Christian life is receiving Christ and walking in Christ. The soil (Christ) is a giver, having an infinity of living fullness; the root (the Christian) is a receiver, drinking from and anchored to the soil. "Everything about your public production as a Christian," assures Ed, "depends upon your secret nourishment before God." | Ed Miller | Colossians_05Chap2_1-10PreeminentInEducation.mp3 | Colossians 2:1-10 | ||||||
| 6 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 06) Christ Preeminent In Life | 4315 | The whole book of Colossians is the difference between living FOR Christ (gnosticism) and living BY Christ. "At any moment I'm looking to Christ alone," Ed teaches, "the only limit on my Christian life is God alone." This new direction liberates the believer from living by pictures of Christ, asceticism and subjective spiritual experiences. | Ed Miller | Colossians_06ChristPreeminentIn.mp3 | Colossians 2:11-3:4 | ||||||
| 7 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 07) First Outworking of Christ Preeminent | 4315 | Our practical walk in chapters 3 and 4 are the fruit of the test of whether or not Christ is truly central in our lives as chapters 1 and 2 portray. The first outworking of Christ preeminent is that we are becoming what we are, that is, we experience freedom from the flesh. As the Christ life appears in our moral lives, people will start seeing Christ. | Ed Miller | Colossians_07Chap3_1-9.mp3 | Colossians 3:1-9 | ||||||
| 8 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 08) Chapter 3:9-17: More Outworkings | 4315 | When you make Christ central in your life, you will have an "unsinning character" (verses 1-4). When Christ is your all, all distinctions vanish--racial prejudices, sectarian walls--and you will be one with every Christian (verses 9-11). When it is Christ alone, I will be expressing a Christlike heart in love towards man and praise towards God (verses 12-17). | Ed Miller | Colossians_08Chap3_9-17.mp3 | Colossians 3:1-4, 9-17 | ||||||
| 9 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Colossians | (Colossians 09) Conclusion | 4315 | The home is the masterpiece of the applied gospel. The home then serves as the illustration of the outworking of the preeminence of Christ. The final outworking is the Christ-centered life that expresses itself in the spreading of the gospel, done simply by trusting God and living. | Ed Miller | Colossians_09Conclusion.mp3 | Colossians 3:18 - 4:18 |
