There are abundant passages in Scripture about why we should be thankful to the Lord. Expressing gratitude is an integral part of our faith commitment. It brings us close to God. Giving thanks to God for what He has done is the hallmark of the regenerate heart and mind. God has chosen you to make you part of His plan, and He died for you to give you eternal life. “Giving Thanks to God: The Hallmark of the Regenerate Mind” Study Notes V...

The peace of God should be understood as something that is separate and distinct from peace with God. Peace with God has a connection to our salvation. The peace of God is something that comes from Him. He gives it to us as a remedy for fear, to help us stay strong in the midst of crisis. With fear coming at us from every direction, this may be one of the most important messages to help us keep our sanity, as well as our faith. “Let the Peac...

The unconditional agapē love that comes from God is not like human love; it is the fruit of the Spirit of God in us, not something we can produce in the flesh. Agapē love links us to God, and from it flow joy, peace, longsuffering, patience, kindness, generosity, and compassion. All the expressions of God’s Spirit flow from this first fruit. “The Love That Tethers Us to God” Study Notes VF-2303 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes incl...

It is difficult to forgive others if we fail to understand how much God has forgiven us. Unwillingness to forgive drives a wedge between us and God, and it begins to close off our channel of communication with Him. We must completely let go of the wrongs done to us, just as Christ has forgiven us. If we walk in the Spirit, in time, we will be able to let go and forgive. “The Biblical Concept of Forgiveness” Study Notes VF-2302 Some Materials Referenced ...

Pastor Scott conducts a word study in Colossians 3:11–13, which says, “Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another . . . .” In this passage, Paul laid down a roadmap for the early Christians at Colossae, to guide the individuals in the community to have fellowship with one another and with Christ. ...

God is renewing our minds, giving us knowledge of Him that will benefit us in our walk of faith. When we have knowledge of Him, our desires begin to change, and we recognize the reality of our former state in Adam and our new standing in Christ. In Him, the cultural and social distinctions that were once barriers are broken down. We are all one body in Christ, growing in the knowledge of Him. “Being Renewed in the Knowledge of God” Study Notes VF-2300 Some Material...

Pastor Scott teaches from Colossians, juxtaposing the flesh mind and the mind of Christ. God’s goal for Christians is that we be transformed into the image and likeness of Christ. The miracle of Christianity is the transformation that comes by faith in Jesus Christ, not by efforts of the flesh. “The Miracle of Christianity: Transformation by Faith” Study Notes VF-2299 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

God loves His children, but His wrath is provoked when people, in rebellion, fail to acknowledge Him. There are consequences to sin. We were all children of disobedience, but Christ bore the wrath that was due us, and we are covered from God’s wrath when we put our trust in Him. “What Brings On the Wrath of God?” Study Notes VF-2298 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

Do not take the practical application of Colossians 3 out of context and turn it into legalism. The instruction to “mortify the flesh” does not mean you can fix your problems through will-worship. You must bring the sins you grapple with to the Spirit so that He can help you. You are either living in Christ or out of Christ. Check where your focus is, and stay connected in union with Christ. “Mortify Therefore Your Members” Study Notes VF-2297 Some Materials Referenced in these Stud...

Pastor Scott begins teaching on Colossians 3. We are dead, buried, and raised up with Christ; these are the steps of regeneration and salvation. In identifying with Christ’s death, we die to self, to the things of the world, and to the law. If we seek the things which are above and set our affections there, we will be focused on Christ and not on the things added on to the church by man. “Identification with Christ” Study Notes VF-2296 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes includ...

Since we are resurrected with Christ and He set us free from the law, why would we stand by and let ourselves be dogmatized and put under regulations by man? There is a long list of traditions that man has added on to the church, but they are not the word of God. Having a relationship with God is not about keeping regulations but trusting Him and talking to Him. “Let No One Dogmatize You” Study Notes VF-2295 Colossians Chapter 2 Some Materia...

What happened in the church at Colossae is still happening in the church today: false teachers have added on to the simplicity of the gospel. The add-ons may appear to be superspiritual, like the worshiping of angels and claiming to have received visions, but in reality, they are fake and serve only to distract. Let no one rob you of your reward, which comes by simple faith in Jesus Christ. “Let No One Rob You of Your Reward” Study Notes VF-2294 C...
