Colossians 3:1-4 Part 2

April 8, 2019

Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world. It’s a lofty goal, but one that is certainly not beyond our reach.

Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll again look at the relationship between Old Testament Law, and the Grace of Jesus Christ. God’s law is not obsolete, but we must integrate our adherence to the Law, with our understanding that we’ve been sanctified and set apart through our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Today on The Dwelling Place, we continue through Colossians, and we’re going to examine the relationship between living under the law and living under the Grace of Jesus Christ. The law exists for a purpose, but too many Christians today are hung up on ritual and laws. That’s exactly what Paul addresses in the section of Colossians we’ll look at today.

We’re currently enjoying a journey through the book of Colossians, and once again, we see the incredible inspired word of God coming through in this letter from Paul to the church in Colossi. Colossians chapter two has much to teach us about false teachers, and the true source of security and happiness- our Lord Jesus Christ.

To know Jesus and His attributes is to realize that there no reason to follow any other path but the path that takes you to Him. He paid the full price for our sins, and the rewards of living a life pleasing to Him, and accepting Him as your savior are almost impossible to put into words. That's what Colossians chapter two is all about.

Today we begin a study of one of the most encouraging and uplifting chapters in the Bible, chapter two of Colossians. It’s a favorite among many because it expresses very eloquently the pure joy of knowing Jesus Christ as Savior. If you don’t have that joy in your life, join us as we look at the first ten verses of Colossians chapter two.

For the last several broadcasts we’ve been Colossians chapter one.  As we continue the series today, we approach an interesting issue.  Do you ever feel as though your not up to the task, that you just don’t have the ability to do something?  The marvelous thing about the Christian life is that we are not called to rely on our own sufficiency, but rather on the sufficiency of Christ.  Pastor Al will address several precepts today that will help us get on a road to ministry that is beyond our natural abilities.

We’ll be continuing our series through Colossians today, as we begin our final study in chapter one.  Ever asked to do something that was a stretching experience for you, that called you to go out of your comfort zone? Well, sometimes our call to ministry will lead us beyond our comfort zone too, and that’s a good thing as we’ll soon see.

Today, pastor Al Pittman will be discussing the nature of salvation, and how to know whether you are an authentic Christian, or just faking it. There are certainly a lot of people around who claim to be a Christian, but their lifestyle says otherwise.
March 27, 2019
Today, pastor Al Pittman returns to his study of Colossians, and has us consider a situation most of us have faced at one time or another - feeling like our faith in Christ is not what it used to be. That special experience of being born again is something we never forget, but as we move along in life, sometimes that excitement kid of dwindles. Pastor Al is going to urge us today to continue in our faith, and he’ll use the words of Paul in Colossians chapter one to tell us how we can do that.

We’re told in scripture that Jesus is the creator of heaven and earth.  So, then what should we do if He really is the God of creation?  Al Pittman will pursue that question today on The Dwelling Place. We aim to cover verses fifteen through eighteen of Colossians chapter one today.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
