Sermon outline
What is central to your prayers for others?
-
-
- Is it intercession? –
- Or is it thanksgiving? –
- If I am honest, intercession gets more time.
-
Who do we pray to? Praying to God the Father (Col 1:3)
-
-
- Paul directs his prayer to God the Father.
- We pray to the Father b/c he is our provider and protector (HC 26, Rom 8:28)
- We also pray to the Father, because he is in league with his Son to redeem a people for himself
-
2 Reasons Why should be thankful? (Col 1:4)
-
-
- Reason 1: People believe in Jesus
- Reason 2: Their faith is genuinely being displayed as love
- The hope of Heaven is motivating this kind of faith and love (Col 1:5, Rom 8:24-25)
- What does the hope of heaven consist of? (2Cor 3:11-12, Gal 5:5, 24:15, Col 1:27, Tit 1:2)
- Hope is intrinsic to the gospel – the gospel is the hope of heaven
- The messenger matters
-
So if you answered no to any of the questions that have been asked.
-
-
- Go back and rethink the gospel, refocus on the gospel.
