More Than Enough – Ep 05 – Colossians 3:1-17

Here in chapter three, the book of Colossians takes a bit of a turn. Paul is now giving clear instructions on what holy living for the Christian should look like. In Colossians 3:1-17 the Apostle Paul shows us the marks of a transformed life. What are the visible signs of a Christian life and godly character? Here in this text we are called to “put off” the old self and walk in a new direction by “putting on” the characteristics of Christ. But how is this possible?! Paul shows us in this passage that for those in Christ, we have been given everything needed to live a transformed life.

Any parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle knows the exciting AND terrifying feeling of watching a child learn how to walk. It’s exhilarating seeing that child take his first steps. But it’s also nerve racking as you realize all the potential dangers that lie in her path as she begins to walk. Walking is the subject to which Paul turns next in the book of Colossians. Paul wants to teach these follower...

What is success in the Christian life? At the end of Colossians 1, Paul says that he has endured a great deal of difficulty in order that others might know Jesus. Paul is saying that all of the pain, toil, trouble, and sacrifice was totally worth it in order to see others encounter Jesus and follow his way. We exist to know Jesus and make him known and faithfulness to that endeavour is how we m...

Blaise Pascal famously said, “All men seek happiness. This is without exception.” We are all on a fulfillment quest. We are searching for the thing or the things in our life that we think will bring us fulfillment. So we look to our career, or status, or marriage, or finances, or relationships to find this fulfillment. The problem is that the only way to have a truly fulfilling life is if Jesus...

What does it mean to be gospel-centred? In Christian circles we may hear this term used, without understanding what it means. The Book of Colossians is intended to show us that to be gospel-centred is to be Jesus-centred, and that in Him is fullness. Jesus Christ is more than enough for us to give our whole lives to. The gospel is the fullness of God to you and through you in Christ. As we look...

As we step into the beginning of a new year, there's something exhilarating about the idea of starting fresh. New Year’s resolutions, planners with blank pages, and the anticipation of what’s to come fill us with hope. It’s a season of newness, where we let go of the past and look ahead. This theme resonates deeply with the truth found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, ...

Our life resembles that of a journey and more often than not we want our life to look like that of a straight and flat Saskatchewan road. A road that is open, straight, no sudden turns, lots of opportunity to see what’s around us but more importantly what’s in front of us. However, if you haven’t realized this yet, life is a journey with twists, turns, and switchbacks (like driving through Banf...

Every one of us is trusting in something to take care of us and that thing that you put the weight of their life on. Our intellect, our job, our health, our friends at school cannot ultimately be trusted to take care of every part of our life. The book of Ruth reminds us in a very clear and pointed way that at every turn and in every situation God is in control. He is weaving his plan for your ...

Many of us find ourselves asking, “Is this really all there is? Is this what life has come to?" The book of Ruth gives us a glimpse beneath the surface of circumstances to see God’s plans and purposes. In Ruth 2, we see the plans, the provisions, and the positionings of the main characters (Ruth, Naomi, Boaz) and how God carries out a deeper plan, deeper provision, and deeper positioning that u...

How many of us have ever wondered… God where are you? God what are you up to right now? God are you even real? God why is all of this happening in my life? The book of Ruth reminds us that when all hope seemed lost God was still in control as he sent The Promised King to redeem us. This gives us the assurance that regardless of how our circumstances appear…God is still working when it seems lea...

To be human is to hope. Hope is an essential part of human existence. What you hope in is essentially the fixed reference point that you go to in your life to give you stability, comfort, & a sense of control amidst the chaos, suffering, and tragedy of life. And if your fixed point is not the gospel - if it’s not the hope found in the resurrection of Jesus then when difficulty, suffering, trage...

When something becomes commonplace, it can lose its impact. Similar to living your entire life next to train tracks the noise of the train can (over time) become obsolete. One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is when the cross becomes commonplace. If you've been a Christian for any amount of time you know that this is a real struggle. Mark 14 reminds us of the fact that the cross i...

Legendary baseball player Frank Robinson said, “Close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades.” No one remembers the runners up - those who were close but didn't make the cut don’t get remembered. They might have been close but close enough doesn’t count. Here in Mark 12 Jesus says pretty much the same thing about his kingdom. When approached by a religious leader - Jesus says it’s possible ...

Often the last words of someone’s life (or last acts) are usually lasting. Those final conversations or one last trip with a loved one often carry deep meaning and purpose. Mark 11 is a crucial turning point in the Gospel of Mark because it is the beginning of Jesus' last week on Earth. In fact, Mark spends over one-third of his Gospel on Jesus’ last days because of how pivotal they were. And k...

In Mark 10 Jesus reinstates God’s design for marriage. We see that marriage is sacred and it is established upon an exclusive and intimate one-flesh union. It is designed to accomplish God’s purposes, and at the same time, to be highly beneficial to us both practically and spiritually. In a world where marriage has been distorted, treated casually, and even redefined, Jesus sets the record stra...
