Paul understood that h...

Paul understood that he could not do the work of the ministry alone. In Colossians 4, he mentions by name some of those who helped him to shoulder the load as fellow laborers. God is still calling for fellow laborers today, and He has given us the opportunity of a lifetime to step up to the plate and respond to the call to spread the good news, the gospel of our salvation through Jesus Christ! ...

We pray to the Father by ...

We pray to the Father by the mechanism of the Holy Spirit, who helps us stay focused, brings order, guides us in all truth, and gives us the burden of what to pray for. It is not natural for us to pray; the Spirit makes intercession for us because we do not know what to pray for or how to pray. We should reflect on how we pray and what we pray about so we can have good communication with our Father. ...

We pray to the Father through Christ, who opens the door to God for us as our High Priest. In the Old Testament, God appointed priests for men, but now the institution of the priesthood is done away with. We do not need a mere human to be our mediator, because we have Christ. We have direct access to God through grace. God wants us to take our prayers boldly to His throne and come to Him with prayers from the heart. ...

Christ taught us to address God as our Father when we pray. Through Christ, we have a new relationship with God; we have the kind of access that comes from being His children, partakers in the Sonship of Christ. We are instructed to ask, to seek, and to keep knocking until He gives us what is in His will for us. Our prayers should be direct, sincere, and simple. “C...

Pastor Scott uses the phrase “Continue in prayer” in Colossians 4:2 as a launching point to study the prayers of the patriarchs of the Old Testament: How were the prayers prayed? How long did it take for God to answer? When God answered, was He angry or was He pleased? Analyzing these things helps us to understand how God deals with us when we pray. “Continue in Prayer: ...

Pastor Scott illustrates how the command in 1 Peter 1:22 to love one another applies to those abiding in God’s word: “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” It is possible to love one another if you abide in the Lord. “The 11th Commandment: What’s Love Got to Do With It?” Study Notes VF-1760 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's ar...

Whatever you do, do it unto the Lord, and do it from your soul. God has called you to help the ministry and to be light in the darkness. You have a stewardship, so redeem the time for the Lord. Those who keep their focus on God and do not quit will have the reward of an inheritance from Him. “Do What You Do Unto the Lord” Study Notes VF-2316 Some Materials Referenced in ...

The relationship between parents and ...

The relationship between parents and children is a delicate balance, particularly for Christians. Neither parents nor children are perfect, but it pleases the Lord when children obey their parents and fathers do not provoke and discourage their children. Although raising children according to God’s word does not guarantee they will grow up to have faith, God has a way of bringing people back to Him if He wants them. ...

“God’s Ordained Plan for the Family Life” Study...

Paul’s instructions to wives and husband...

Paul’s instructions to wives and husbands are not about inferiority but about the order to domestic life. God made Adam and Eve equal. For their disobedience, both were cursed. Although we are set free in Christ, we are still living under the curse. God intended marriage to be a reflection of Christ’s relationship with His people. Paul is teaching what family looks like in God’s order of things. ...

God gave an order to all things, including gender roles. The role of the woman was not inferior to that of the man, nor vice versa. Each gender complements the other. What one lacks, the other makes up for, and they each have their part in the family unit according to God’s perfect design. “Help Meet: God-given Gender Roles” Study Notes VF-2313 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Not...

Onesimus was a runaway slave when Paul birthed him into God’s kingdom. At Paul’s request, he was restored to a much better state. Similarly, we are slaves to the world, the flesh, and the devil. We are unprofitable to God until we subject ourselves to the better state of slavery to Christ. This New Testament kind of slavery should not be seen as a pejorative state but as an honor and a privilege. ...

Paul’s instruction that slaves should obey their masters can be better understood after looking at how the book of Genesis describes slaves. Slaves were treated like part of the family, were entrusted with responsibilities, and had rights. We should do whatever we do as unto the Lord. We serve a Living God. “We Are Servants of the Living God” Study Notes VF-2311 Some Materials Referenced in these Stu...
