Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, desperate for you to speak to us, asking Lord that you would reveal yourself to us, that you would help us to behold Christ, seated on his throne, high and lifted up. Lord, direct our thoughts, our mind, our affection to you through your word this morning. Lord, your word is living and active, and we ask Lord that through your word you would impart life to us. Lord, we confess to you as we have already done so our sins, and Lord, we also acknowledge the fact that we have a mighty savior seated at the right hand of God.
interceding for us, and what a blessed hope we have. Lord, I do not know what your people are going through here this morning, but I ask Lord that you would meet them where they are at, that Lord, you would see fit to bear their burdens, that you would encourage their hearts, Lord, that You would cause them to leave here today feeling lifted. And Lord, use me as your unworthy servants. To speak your heart to your people here this morning.
It's in Jesus' name that I pray. Amen. my last sermon, usually pastors don't start this way, but I am. My last sermon was entitled The Supernatural Christian Life, and we framed that message around eight truths that we are to embrace in order to experience the supernatural Christian life.
And you might recall that I told you that I ended up having to make the decision to split that message into two parts. So today, what I'm going to do is I will briefly review the 1st 4 truths. You can fill those out in your handout, and then I will take the bulk of our time to cover the final 4 truths. So with that in mind, please turn in your Bible to Colossians chapter 3, turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter 3, we'll begin in verse 1, and as you are turning there, I remind you that the Colossians are under attack....
