Introduction
Let me begin with a discipleship question: how will you follow Jesus in prayer and dependence on God this week?
Main Points
In this lesson shaped by Calvary Boise's teaching on Not Our Will, but Christ's Be Done - Colossians 3:18-20 (11/01/2020), Christ invites us to receive truth with humility, practice repentance, and walk in faithful obedience.
Life in the Church
I want you guys go ahead and turn your bibles to colossians chapter three I'm going to read through this entire section and then. We're going to backtrack a bit and we're going to be all over the bible so bear with me colossians chapter 3 verse 18.
- It's the passage that we all love to talk about um and I actually believe this is a setup by tugger where he gets.
- All the good parts of colossians and then he gets to a section that says wives submit to your husbands and says reggie won't.
- Teach that you're the family pastor so I have the joy of becoming the target of the church this morning um I do want.
- To say a few things before we dive into this they will be addressed as we go but I feel like these things are.
Necessary to say up front in case we run out of time um we are I don't see too many kids in here this. Morning um raise your hand if you're in here and you are maybe 10 or under any ten or unders okay we've got a.
Prayer and Dependence
Let's read the whole thing then we're going to go to genesis 3 because we're going to see how paul is going to directly. Attack the curse um in first corinth or cautions I'm sorry my voice is gone and so is my mind colossians chapter 3 starting.
- Keep in mind this is this is after the sermon that tucker gave last week which I thought was an incredible.
- Sermon if you didn't hear it please go and listen to it because I think that is the prerequisite to what we're about to.
- Read now okay all of the book of colossians has been giving us this fight back and forth between the life we died to.
Known as the life of the flesh and now the life that we are called to walk in christ life in the spirit okay. Here and let's go up a few verses let's start in verse let's go to 12.
Walking in Faithful Obedience
Um isaiah 14 you see it set up as it's isaiah's giving a prophecy about the king of babylon the language begins to change. And he calls him the day star or lucifer and he begins to talk about how it entered into his heart that he would.
- Ascend up to the mountain of god in it the crescendo in what his heart is saying is that I will be like the.
- Most high you see the philosophy that's being preached in the garden it's a satanic philosophy that's why the bible is always talking about.
- And downplaying the concept of self and giving up self death to self because it is the philosophy of the enemy it is the.
- Very philosophy that satan uses to conjure up his system starting with adam and eve you will not surely die for god knows that.
In the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like god knowing good and evil he spends. It as if to say that your eyes are going to be open to all these good things but it only brings bad he.
Conclusion
We return to the opening teaching: discipleship is not just information, it is transformation through faith and obedience to Jesus. If we receive His Word and walk it out, He will shape us into people who endure and bear fruit.
Lord Jesus, help me hear Your Word, obey it with faith, and grow as Your disciple. Amen.
