  Our Spiritual Foes Disarmed at the Cross 05.10.2026 57мин

  If we're still not sure that Christ did everything and that we are complete in Him, Colossians 2:15 rightly translated shows us that there was nothing left undone. God disarmed our spiritual foes at the cross! That doesn't mean that they're powerless, but rather that all of the attempts to prevent Christ from going to the cross were thwarted. And as Christ was victorious, so are we! VF-2290 Colossians 2:19 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

  The Sin and Trespass Offerings Point to Christ 02.10.2026 57мин

  The sin and trespass offerings were God's dispensation in the Old Testament to address the people's fallen condition, our need for purification, and the individual acts of wrongdoing that are the fruit of this condition. But as with all the other offerings, they were shadows and types pointing to Christ. God had Christ in mind from the beginning, and because of His sacrifice, we have a new dispensation if we trust in Him and the efficacy of His finished work.

  The Peace Offering: Our Communion and Fellowship with God 01.10.2026 57мин

  The peace offering symbolized God's provision for mankind to have communion and fellowship with Him. It had to come after the burnt and meal offerings so that we could first understand what Christ had to do before we could even have fellowship with God. Most people do not have the mindset of the peace offering when they give, thinking they have no responsibilities; it gives God joy when we willingly stay to have communion with Him after we've done our stewardship duties.

  The Symbolism of the Meat Offering 30.09.2026 57мин

  Looking at the symbolism of the meat offering helps us to understand the "how" of Colossians 2:14 how Christ blotted out the handwriting of ordinances and nailed them to His cross, and how we being in Christ's finished work are no longer under the law but free in Christ, and free to worship Him!

  Christ: Offering, Offerer, and Priest 29.09.2026 58мин

  The Old and New Testaments have to be understood as one continuous narrative of God's unfolding plan of redemption for fallen humanity. There are many shadows and types that point to Christ and reveal the order in which things had to happen for us to be redeemed. The offerings lay out what Christ had to be in order to fulfill the law as the Offering, the Offerer, and the Priest.

  I Am Forgiven 28.09.2026 57мин

  Christ has forgiven us all our trespasses, but we have a problem understanding His forgiveness because we have a poor understanding of the severity of our sins, our condition, and our standing with God. We were spiritually dead in our sins, but Christ has made us alive in Him and forgiven us. Even though we will never "feel" forgiven, we are forgiven, period.

  Authentic Christianity Is Focused on Christ 25.09.2026 58мин

  Three verbs, which properly translated in their mood and tense in the Greek, shift our focus back on to Christ. They show us that what God is looking for is faith in Christ, not Jesus plus circumcision, or any other religious ceremony or rite. The simplicity of the gospel is that God wants us to take Him at His word and stay focused on Christ.

  Christ Set Us Free 24.09.2026 57мин

  No outward sign, like that of circumcision, can fix you if your heart is not close to God. In the Old Testament circumcision was intended to be a sign of the covenant with God, but even then, God made it clear His focus was on the heart. Christ has already accomplished this act of circumcision in the inner man of the Christian, freeing us and conforming us to His covenant perfectly, as only He can. Why would we need to add to what He has done in us? Christ set us free.

  Christ Is the Epicenter of Our Faith 23.09.2026 58мин

  It's time for the church of Jesus Christ to reform itself because we, like the Colossians, have been led astray by all the add-ons. It's time for us to get back to the epicenter of our faith: all that we need is in Christ. Every part, every nature, every dimension of the deity dwells in Him, so how could we ever think of adding anything else?

  Traditions Make Void the Word of God 22.09.2026 58мин

  Why I Am Who I Am in Christ 21.09.2026 58мин

  We cannot understand the problems of where we are without looking to history. Church history is full of examples of the traditions of men being substituted in place of the word of God and the message of salvation by faith in Christ. The Protestant Reformation sought to bring people back to the pure source of the word, but even the Protestant Church has its add-ons. Study the word and focus on your personal relationship with God.

  Under New Management 18.09.2026 57мин

  Colossians 2:6 is the perfect text to show us that the modern-day evangelist's altar call, inviting us to "receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior" is actually quite blasphemous! Treating this passage correctly, the difference is in the details. To "receive" is not to receive the individual, the Son of God, but rather to receive the message, the good news of Jesus Christ: that new management has come to help us start walking, keep walking, and stay connected by faith as we are on the path to spiritual maturity.

  The deception of those that would twist the word of God with enticing words was a problem in the early church and still continues today.

  Christian Unity: Knit Together in God's Love 16.09.2026 57мин

  The body of Christ is supposed to be knit together in love, not ripped apart. Without being knit together in Christ's love, the church cannot survive. Paul addressed the Colossians with pastoral concern, reminding them to focus back on Christ and to be knit together in the agape love of God. When the problems come, this love of God through Christ should be our common bond. Christ is the unifying force.

  Be Not Deceived 15.09.2026 58мин

  The church today is in spiritual danger, just as the church at Galatia was.  The Apostle Paul instructed them not to be deceived by those who tried to lead them back to works and the law instead of faith in Jesus Christ alone.  You will reap what you sow.  The works of the flesh are a mockery of God, but if you seek Him in faith, He will put His Spirit in you, and you will bear fruit unto Him.  Sowing to the Spirit leads to a harvest of life eternal.  VF-2562 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

  Pain Has a Purpose 14.09.2026 58мин

  In God's book, there's a type of pain that has a purpose.  Whether it's physical or mental, if it leads us closer to God, then it's not destructive.  It's redemptive pain.  In 2 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul describes this as a "thorn" in the flesh.  More specifically, it was a messenger of Satan that was given to him by God to keep him humble and always depending on God.  If you're wrestling with something that won't go away, and you find yourself asking the question, "Is this of God, or of the devil?" then this message is for you.

  When the Sacrifices Stopped, or Indeed Why They Stopped 09.09.2026 58мин

  The need for covering for sin goes back as far as Adam and Eve, where an animal had to be slain to cover them.  The book of Leviticus spells out that the only atonement for sin is through sacrifice and the spilling of blood.  Each of the sacrifices was a type that pointed to Christ.  When Christ fulfilled the law with His sacrificial death and His Resurrection, the need for blood to be spilled stopped.  Those who do not look to Christ for redemption cannot be cleansed by good deeds or ceremonies, because there is no salvation apart from Christ.  Those who do look to Him in faith have an eternal inheritance.
