Throughout the chapter we see David ignoring warning signs, not listening to advisors, and ultimately allowing his desire for Bathsheba to cause him to have her husband murdered. It begins with David not being where he should be–out to war with his army. When we are not where God wants us to be, we place ourselves at risk.

The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:7). God still has this same perspective today.

His plea to live these positive virtues will be difficult without a distinction between the old and new life. These positive admonitions are not to be lived out by the old life or from the flesh, those are put away. Join Mike and Ken as they work their way through this passage, which deals with topics, like does God pick some and not pick others; what is forgiveness and reconciliation; and what does it mean to be holy and dearly loved. Also, if biblical measurements of length confuse you, you’re...2023-04-171h 48Jesus Changes PeopleOff with the Old, On with the NewBarbarians, Scythians, and a wardrobe change. Oh, my! Paul begins a transition from a list of vices to virtues. In this transitional section, he encourages the Colossians to take off the vices because they hide the image of God in them, and to put on the virtues which make that image visible to those around them. This encouragement has just as much power and meaning for us today. Join Ken and Mike as they discuss old selves, new selves, religious and cultural distinctions, wardrobe changes, true unity in Christ, field day, and buffets.Passage: Colossians 3:9-112023-04-101h 35Jesus Changes PeopleTime to Clean HouseHow do you deal with lists of things you shouldn’t do? Paul in this passage gives two lists of things that those who’ve given themselves to Jesus shouldn’t do. How we tackle these lists will tell us a lot about what we believe our identity to be. If Paul is encouraging us to clean house in our personal lives, how does he suggest we go about it? Join Mike and Ken as they discuss Paul’s transition to practical actions that are important for those who’ve been changed by Jesus. Also, this episode drops the week befor...2023-04-031h 45Jesus Changes PeopleBecause You’ve Been Raised with JesusIn this portion of His letter, Paul reminds the Colossians of what they once were, but no longer are. Then tells them what they now are and finishes by sharing with them what they will be. And all of this depends on their union with Jesus. From this, we learn that Christians have a new dimension to their life. This dimension isn’t some secret skill or knowledge, but is actually a person, Jesus. Paul is very clear that Jesus isn’t just a part of someone’s life, but is their life. Join Ken and Mike as they discus...2023-03-271h 44Jesus Changes PeopleBecause You Died with JesusDon’t listen to this episode. Gotcha! We see things like don’t do this or don’t do that, and we’re immediately drawn in. Are they trying to keep me from having fun? Is it really that dangerous? In this portion of Paul’s letter, he encourages the Colossians to not be drawn back in by the don’ts, the rules, and the commands that seem wise, but really lack any value in helping them live a better life. Actually, he’s concerned that in living a life under these systems will cause the Colossians to lose the experience...2023-03-201h 40Jesus Changes PeopleDon’t Let Anyone Judge YouThe guys are back in the saddle, and ready to keep trekking through the letter to the Colossians. Paul’s been talking about all that Christians have because of their union with Jesus, and now he gives some practical action that should flow from this understanding. Paul also gets a little sarcastic and snarky, talking about the people who delight in judging, false humility, worship of angels, and disqualifying people who don’t do things as they prescribe. He reminds us that we grow because of our connection to Jesus and being in His body, the Church. Join Mike and...2023-03-131h 51Jesus Changes PeopleBest of Listener Questions Vol. 1The guys have been cranking through Colossians, and thought it would be a good week to take a pause.

It’s through the spiritual change that comes from union with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection. Paul also shares just how forgiven and secure Christians are because of what Jesus has done. Join Mike and Ken as they seek to clarify the illustrations used, and why these verses are meaningful for us today. Along the way, you might learn something new about Mike, and discover why Ken might be on...2023-02-271h 47Jesus Changes PeopleSpiritual Fullness in JesusPaul warns the Colossians about hollow and deceptive philosophy, but instead of describing what to look out for, he says their best defense is to understand the fullness that exists in Jesus and in them. The words surely encouraged the Colossians and empowered them to live confidently. Join Ken and Mike as they discuss how these powerful and encouraging words are words we need to hear today. They may also stumble in to conversation about Chocolate Easter Bunnies, Valentines, and Adam Ant.Passage: Colossians 2:8-10Support the show2023-02-201h 53Jesus Changes PeoplePaul's Concern for the ColossiansPaul loves the Colossians, and even 1,000 miles between them wasn’t going to keep him from ministering to them. With a true shepherd’s heart, he wants to make sure they know who they are, so that they won’t be deceived by smooth talkers who wish to lead them away from Jesus. With praise for their disciplined and firm faith in Jesus, Paul layouts one of the shortest and clearest descriptions of what it means to become a Christian and to live as one.

The message he shares was a mystery, hidden for ages, but now he’s freely sharing it with God’s people, and this includes not just the Jews but also the Gentiles. How does he do all of this? In his words, strenuously, but not by his might but by the energy of Jesus working inside him.

In this, Jesus is rightfully the head of the church, the firstborn from among the dead, has reconciled all things to himself, having the fullness of God dwelling in Him, so that in everything He might be superior. If the Colossians have given themselves to Jesus, they have nothing to fear.

In saying this, Paul’s thrown down the gauntlet, stating without reservation that Jesus is superior to all others! This is something the Colossians needed to hear, and it’s something we need to hear as well. Ken and Mike discuss the preeminence of Jesus, particularly in relation to creation, and how knowing this has influence in how we live...2023-01-231h 48Jesus Changes PeopleThanksgiving and PrayerIn verse 3, Paul moves to his opening prayer and thanksgiving for the Colossians. In this prayer, he’s thankful for their progress and shares his hopes for them. His prayer lays the groundwork for what’s coming in his letter, the themes, and it sets the tone. Faith, hope, love, the full gospel message, and the fruit of the Spirit are just a few things Paul touches on. Most importantly, he describes that God is the initiator of change and how that change forms us in to who He desires us to be. Join Ken and Mike as they talk...2023-01-161h 52
