In Colossians 1:18, Paul states that Christ is the head of the church. In this message, Pastor Scott analyzes the church, the body of Christ, using a taxonomy. The church exists for God’s purposes, not whatever else people think it should exist for. God has a plan. The church exists to make learners who will grow in Christ and build up the body of the church. “The Taxonomy of the Church: Christ Is the Head” Study Notes VF-2269 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's...

There are many references to angels through the Scriptures. The elect, un-fallen angels that remain holy and dedicated to God carry out His will. As God’s representatives, these angels deliver messages and give guidance and help to humans. The evil, fallen angels report to “the god of this world,” Satan, and bring twisted messages designed to derail us from the path of faith. It is important to recognize the reality of these two forces at work, and to put on the whole armor of God to defen...

As background to the teaching Paul had to do to counter the false doctrine of angel worship, we can look to the Scriptures to make sure we understand the nature and role of angels. There are different categories of sometimes seen and sometimes unseen created beings who carry out assignments from God. Ultimately, whether they are good or evil angels, we are not to worship them: we are to be followers of Christ. “The Point and Purpose of Angels” Study Notes VF-2267 Some Materials Referenced...

By using the original Greek text of Colossians 1:16, we see that Christ is the basis for creation, He was the instrument of creation, and He created it for Himself. The purpose of creation goes back to Him. Since He was the Creator, He could not have been created, which puts Him above all angels. We are part of the creation, and God’s plan for us is to praise Him. This Study Note is followed by a Study Handout primarily on the use of prepositions in New Testament Greek. “God Has a Plan fo...

Pastor Scott continues her series of messages out of the book of Colossians. Studying the use of the Greek word prōtotokos, translated “firstborn” in Colossians 1:15, we learn that it is impossible to conclude that Jesus is a created being. Rather, He is the first of His kind, the firstborn of all creation to be raised from the dead to die no more. He set the pattern for those who will follow Him by faith, which means we too will follow after Him to life eternal. “Jesus Is the Firstborn ...

The first half of Colossians 1:15 declares that Christ is the image or “icon” of the invisible God. The heretical idea that Christ was merely like God and not of the same substance crept into the early church, and even today, some believe Christ is only a created being. Paul makes it clear to the Colossians: Christ is the likeness and incarnate revelation of God to humankind. “Christ Is the Icon of the Invisible God” Study Notes VF-2264 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes inclu...

Pastor Scott uses the passage that says, “Be not wise in your own conceits,” to caution against being puffed up with intellectual pride.

Pastor Scott continues teaching from the book of Nehemiah:  The book of Judges shows God’s sovereignty to choose whom He will to accomplish His purposes. Jephthah is an example of someone rejected by man but chosen by God as a savior for the people. Jephthah kept his vow to God, even to his own hurt, and God honored his faith.
