Priorities of a Believer

May 29, 2024

Today we’ll return to our verse by verse study through the book of Colossians, as we look at chapter three, verses twelve through seventeen. The people of Colossi were not too different from believers today - they tended to stray away from their faith and trust themselves to find the answers to a fulfilling life. Paul’s letter is designed to lead them back to Christ. Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?

Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world - by displaying unity.

Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world. It’s a lofty goal, but one that is certainly not beyond our reach.

There are obsolete laws everywhere, and today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll again look at the relationship between Old Testament Law, and the Grace of Jesus Christ. This is not to imply that God’s law is obsolete, but we must integrate our adherence to the Law, with our understanding that we’ve been sanctified and set apart through our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Today on The Dwelling Place, we continue through Colossians, and we’re going to examine the relationship between living under the law and living under the Grace of Jesus Christ. The law exists for a purpose, but too many Christians today are hung up on ritual and laws. That’s exactly what Paul addresses in the section of Colossians we’ll look at today.

We’re currently enjoying a journey through the book of Colossians, and once again, we see the incredible inspired word of God coming through in this letter from Paul to the church in Colossi. Do you think God knew two thousand years ago how relevant these words would be for us today? Of course He did! Colossians chapter two has much to teach us about false teachers, and the true source of security and happiness- our Lord Jesus Christ.

Do you feel as though your life is falling apart?  You’ve lost your job, your family life is a mess, or you have had a bout with COVID, or are facing tremendous persecution.  What’s going to sustain you and keep you going?  Well that’s the place the Thessalonians were in, and we’ll see what keep them going.

To know Jesus and His attributes is to realize that there no reason to follow any other path but the path that takes you to Him. He paid the full price for our sins, and the rewards of living a life pleasing to Him, and accepting Him as your savior are almost impossible to put into words. We’ve just begun a study of Colossians chapter two, so turn there in your Bible and join us for today’s edition of The Dwelling Place.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
