Title: Colossians 1:9-29
Date: 07-19-2015
Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29)
We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3)
We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
Paul's ministry, as described in Colossians, involved both public proclamation and private, unceasing prayer for the church. The speaker draws a parallel with Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones, emphasizing that prophecy alone does not bring life; the movement of the Spirit through prayer is essential. Therefore, the goal for the church should be to balance public ministry with diligent private prayer for the Holy Spirit to bring life.
