Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

Guidance & Prayer: Colossians 4

Colossians 4:1 – 4:18

  1 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
  2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
  3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
  4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
  5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
  6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
  7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
  8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
  9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here.
  10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
  11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
  12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
  13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
  14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
  15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
  16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the [epistle] from Laodicea.
  17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
  18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen. Written from Rome to the Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
