Laboring on the Riches of Christ for the Producing of God’s House – Part Two
Did you ever consider that the Bible begins with a record of a garden and concludes with the testimony of a city? This corresponds with the central thought of the Bible as described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:9 when he said that we are God’s farm or cultivated land, and also God’s building. Listen to this program to find out how we today can grow something of Christ that will be suitable for His dwelling place and eternal rest.

Two Kingdoms, Being Delivered from the One and Transferred Into the Other
In Colossians 1:13 we note that there are two spiritual kingdoms today. One is associated with Satan and is of darkness, and the other is of light belonging to the Son of the Father’s love. On this program we focus on what these two kingdoms are and how the Lord delivered us from the one and transferred us into the other.

Living in the Reality of the Kingdom of the Son of the Father’s Love
Paul reveals to us in Colossians 1:13 that God’s kingdom has not been suspended, but is here among us today in the church age. In this program we consider how to be in the reality of the kingdom and not just in an outward manifestation so that one day we can be with the Lord in the kingdom’s manifestation.
Key Verses: Colossians 1:13; Romans 14:17

Exercising our Stewardship in the Household of God
Paul tells us that grace was given to him for others. This implies a stewardship. Our Father God has arranged that we, as the many members of His household, would care for one another by ministering the riches of Christ that we have enjoyed to the other members for the building up of the Body of Christ.
Key Verses: Colossians 1:25; Ephesians 3:2; 1 Peter 4:10

The
Laboring, Struggling, Suffering, and Self-Denying Stewardship

Did you ever consider that the Bible
both begins and ends with an emphasis on life? Throughout the Bible the Lord
presents Himself as life to man. He is the living water and the Bread of life.
He is simply — the Life. But how can Christ as life become our life? Listen to
this program as we consider how we can subjectively know Christ as our life
today.
Key Verses: Colossians 3:1-4

The
Importance and Value of the Church to Christ

look at a few different aspects of the church as presented throughout the New
Testament and consider why the Lord gave Himself up for her.

Living
in
As Christians we have often heard that as braches in the Vine, we need to abide in Christ in order to bring forth acceptable fruit unto God. What does Colossians teach us about this subject?

As believers, we all realize that sometimes things can come between us and the Lord in our fellowship with Him. We may never have thought, however, that we need to be on guard for good substitutes for Christ. In this program we consider three matters that cause insulation between the members of Christ’s Body and Christ, the Head.
Key Verse:
Col. 2:19

The
Believers Cooperation in the Christian Life

clearly that God has a goal for us both individually and corporately to become
full grown and to express Him as the new man. But how are we to reach this goal?
In this audio recording we take a look at God’s operation i
Key Verse: Col.
1:28, 2:6
It is too easy to become entangled in all the earthly things below. Paul encourages us to seek the things above—the heavenly things. In this program we consider the heavenly Christ who is interceding, ministering, and executing God’s plan. Listen to how we can learn to appreciate, respond to, and reflect this heavenly One above.
