Robert A CookHOST
Tychicus, what is the profile of this man? who is bringing now the letter.
Robert A CookHOST
He is the messenger, he and Onesimus, bringing the letter to the folk at Colossae.
Robert A CookHOST
What kind of a person is he? First of all, Paul says he is a beloved brother.
Robert A CookHOST
Now, whenever you're going to profile people, start where God starts.
Scott PauleyHOST
If you study Colossians chapter 4, you find out that Archippus is a minister of the gospel.
Scott PauleyHOST
And so many people believe that his son was the preacher of the church, or at least a preacher of a congregation near to the church at Colossae.
Scott PauleyHOST
Then you come down to the end of the book, in verse number 23, you've got a fellow by the name of Epaphras.
Scott PauleyHOST
And if you read in Colossians chapter 4, comparing Scripture with Scripture, you find out this is a praying man.
Scott PauleyHOST
He has no reason to be there.
Scott PauleyHOST
He's in real danger.
Scott PauleyHOST
And the apostle Paul looks at him one day and says, let me ask you, where did you come from? How did you get here? He said, well, I got a master back in Colossae by the name of Philemon.
Scott PauleyHOST
Don't you know Paul's face lit up when he said that? He goes, did you know that Philemon somehow had come to faith in Christ through the ministry of the Apostle Paul? Isn't that just like the Lord? And the Lord puts Paul in Onesimus' path.
Raymond Leo BurkeGUEST
And then there are what are called the, the Catholic Epistles, uh, uh, uh, and those are, uh, uh, letters of, of St. Peter, two letters of St. Peter, uh, St. James, a letter, uh, St. Jude, a letter, and three letters of St. John.
Raymond Leo BurkeGUEST
Uh, and, uh, and sometimes too, they distinguish in St. Paul, you have, uh, these large letters that are, uh, written to a whole group, the letter to the Romans, two letters to the Corinthians, two letters to the Thessalonians, the Colossians, the people of Colossae.
Raymond Leo BurkeGUEST
But then there are what are called the Pastoral Epistles, and those he, he wrote to St. Timothy and St. Titus, who were early bishops, to instruct them on how to be good bishops.
Raymond Leo BurkeGUEST
And they're, they're really quite wonderful, uh, meditations for, for a bishop today.
Derrick CrosbyHOST
That is, rooted in Him, built up in Him, and established in the faith.
Derrick CrosbyHOST
The first thing that Peter encourages the believers in Colossae to do is to be rooted.
Derrick CrosbyHOST
If you're going to be that tree, if Christ is going to be enough, then you have to be rooted.
Derrick CrosbyHOST
Brothers and sisters, this means that before you grow up, you have to grow down.
Skip HeitzigHOST
Spiritual address, in Christ.
Skip HeitzigHOST
Physical address, in Colossae.
Skip HeitzigHOST
You have two addresses.
Skip HeitzigHOST
You are in Christ, you are in Albuquerque.
Skip HeitzigHOST
So you have a physical, a spiritual, and an eventual address.
Skip HeitzigHOST
Here, he mentions these two.
Skip HeitzigHOST
You are in Colossae.
Skip HeitzigHOST
You are in Christ.
Tyler CandyGUEST
They thought that the Laodiceans were would be able to grow from what was in this epistle.
Tyler CandyGUEST
And likewise, the people in Laodicea ought to be sharing their epistles, their notes and letters, with the people in Colossae so that they could be growing and they can be strengthened by the words of Paul as well.
Tyler CandyGUEST
You see, Paul and Peter and John and James, they all wrote under the Spirit's inspiration, and they wrote for our instruction.
Tyler CandyGUEST
So what's contained within these epistles in the New Testament was divinely inspired by God.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
What do these fellows care for the sentiment of Europe? The more they could offend it, the more delighted they would be.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
Down would go the Sphinx, the Colossae, the statues of Abu Simbal, as the saints went down in England before Cromwell's troopers.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
Well now, said Headingley, in his slow, thoughtful fashion, suppose I grant you that the dervishes could overrun Egypt, and suppose also that you English are holding them out.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
What I'm never done asking is, what reason have you for spending— all these millions of dollars, and the lives of so many of your men.
Ralph StewartGUEST
Uh, you know, whenever...
Ralph StewartGUEST
Boy, I have to get in this Acts, but when Paul wrote to his friend Philemon in Colosse, one of the last things he tells him, it's one...
Ralph StewartGUEST
If you're ever gonna read a short book, that's it, one chapter, but it is loaded with information for us.
Ralph StewartGUEST
And one of the things he tells Philemon, "I'm coming, and I want you to make a room for me so that when I'm there, I'm gonna stay a while, and I'll have some place to stay." Hey, guys, we need to learn to make room for each other.
Skip HeitzigHOST
So, thank God for Botts' dots.
Skip HeitzigHOST
[laughs] What does that have to do with the book of Colossians? Colossians is the equivalent of Botts' dots to a minister by the name of Epaphras and the church he is pastoring in the town of Colossae.
Skip HeitzigHOST
It seems that they have gotten off course.
Skip HeitzigHOST
They have swerved from the center line, which is Jesus Christ, and they are being infiltrated with a belief system that is very dangerous.
Skip HeitzigHOST
It's the Botts' dots for that church located in the Lycus Valley.
Skip HeitzigHOST
A picture of modern, of the modern city with the mountains, uh, is, um, behind me.
Skip HeitzigHOST
Uh, I have never been to Colossae, and honestly, you never would have even heard of the town of Colossae, 'cause it really wasn't a big deal.
Skip HeitzigHOST
The only reason you have heard of it and I have heard of it is because there's a letter in the New Testament that Paul wrote to it.
Jack TrieberHOST
That's my only hope in life, godliness, tonight.
Jack TrieberHOST
You know, the era that this was written, Ephesus was one of the cities, Colossae was one of the cities, and these were very wealthy cities.
Jack TrieberHOST
Colossae's about 90 miles from Ephesus.
Jack TrieberHOST
Ephesus is a seaport town.
Jack TrieberHOST
Their, their dyes and their fabrics and their jewels, they were going around the world.
Jack TrieberHOST
She was a goddess, and they would worship that god.
Jack TrieberHOST
And they would bow down themselves to them.
Jack TrieberHOST
Uh, uh, uh, Colossae made a lot of these products and then shipped them over to, uh, uh, uh, to, uh, Ephesus, and Ephesus shipped them around the world.
