Colossians 4: 1-6• Masters, give to your slaves what is just

and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in Heaven.

• Continue in prayer and watch in it with thanksgiving,

• praying together about us also, that God may open to us a door of the Word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I also have been bound,

• that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.

• Walk in wisdom toward those on the outside, redeeming the time.

• Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things about me.

I sent him to you for this very purpose, that he might know the things about you, and that he might comfort your hearts,

along with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to you all things here.

Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (regarding whom you received commandments; if he comes to you, receive him),

and greetings from Jesus, who is called Justus, those being of the circumcision. These alone are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who became a comfort to me.

Epaphras greets you, he being of you, a servant of Christ, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

• For I bear him record that he has a great zeal for you and for those who are in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

• Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

• Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.

• And when this letter is read before you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter of Laodicea.

• And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.

• The salutation of Paul, by my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

Introduction

• Colossians is one of the epistles Paul wrote during his first Roman imprisonment. The others are Ephesians, Philippians, and Philemon.

• The church at Colosse was probably started during Paul’s third missionary journey.

• The church in Colosse may have met in the home of Philemon, for he lived at Colosse with one of his slaves, Onesimus (Col. 4:9 and the book of Philemon).

And say to Archippus (Colossians 4:17)

• This person the apostle calls his fellow soldier, in Philemon 1:2 ( فل معنا المتجند (2: 1أرخبس

• He was now the minister of the Gospel at Colosse, • While Paul’s fellow minister, or co-pastor Epaphras,

being at Rome, and a prisoner there• Archippus was negligent in his office, they are called

upon to say unto him, “take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it”

How Does This Apply to Us

• We should fulfill the mission we took from the Lord

• The Biblical Principal: God called all believers to serve Him by serving in His name

• To do that, God equipped us by His Holy Spirit and many Spiritual Gifts

• At least every believer has one or more spiritual gifts to benefit the church and edify the body of Christ (The Church)

The Great Commission

• Mar 16:15 And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation.

• Romans 12: 6-8• 1Corinthians 12:8-10• Ephesians 4:4:11• 1 Peter 4:10, 11

Romans 12: 4-8For even as we have many members in one body, and all members do not have the same function, so we the many are one body in Christ, and each one members of one another. Then having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, in the ministry; or he who teaches, in the teaching; or he who exhorts, in the encouragement; or he who shares, in simplicity; or he who takes the lead, in diligence; or he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8for

to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9to

another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by £the same

Spirit, 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different

kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things,

distributing to each one individually as He wills.

12For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one

body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

 10As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold

grace of God. 11If anyone speaks, let him speak as the

oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be

glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the

dominion forever and ever. Amen.
