Palmer St. Podcast: Colossians 1:15-23

Playing Balderdash with Jesus

Our family likes to play the game Balderdash. The idea is that you are given a word or a movie title or a name and you have to make up a definition for the word, or say what the movie is about, or tell who the person is. The world plays Balderdash with Jesus. People make things up about Him, but these fictional versions of Jesus are unworthy of our worship.  If Jesus is really God incarnate, then our failure to acknowledge that might have eternal consequences. Today’s passage intends to clear this up.

Palmer St. Podcast: Colossians 1:1-14

 

Paul didn’t know the Colossian church personally. Still, Paul takes the time to write to them and, as we’ll see, he takes the time to pray for them. In so doing he sets an example for us to follow. We don’t want to get stuck in the rut of thinking that the only things worth praying about are the things that matter directly to us.
