Hi, and welcome back
to His Words are Life.
00:00:15.98\00:00:18.52
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
before we start to read
00:00:18.55\00:00:20.84
God's word together Let's pray
00:00:20.87\00:00:22.40
Dear Jesus, thank you so
much for this time to come
00:00:22.43\00:00:26.54
and be in Your
presence and hear Your Word.
00:00:26.57\00:00:28.90
Please write them on our hearts.
May they be a lamp to our feet,
00:00:28.93\00:00:32.92
and a light to our path.
May we be like the man who built
00:00:32.95\00:00:37.00
his house on a solid rock;
because we take these words and
00:00:37.03\00:00:40.92
we build our life following the
council and the wisdom and the
00:00:40.95\00:00:45.59
guidance. Most of all,
help us to love each other
00:00:45.62\00:00:47.87
the way that you loved us
and the way that you tells us
00:00:47.90\00:00:50.18
to do in this Word of Life.
thank you and we love you. Amen
00:00:50.21\00:00:54.87
Reading from the King James
version, and this is Philippians
00:00:54.90\00:00:59.10
chapter four, and
we're beginning with verse 8.
00:00:59.13\00:01:02.38
Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true,
00:01:02.41\00:01:06.77
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just
00:01:06.80\00:01:11.92
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
00:01:11.95\00:01:16.56
whatsoever things
are of good report,
00:01:16.59\00:01:19.43
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
00:01:19.46\00:01:22.82
think on these things.
Those things which ye have both
00:01:22.85\00:01:27.57
learned and received,
and heard, and seen in me,
00:01:27.60\00:01:31.53
do. And the God of
peace shall be with you.
00:01:31.56\00:01:35.12
But I rejoice in the Lord
greatly that now at the last,
00:01:35.15\00:01:39.57
your care of me hath flourished
again wherein you were also
00:01:39.60\00:01:43.55
careful but you
lacked opportunity.
00:01:43.58\00:01:45.06
Not that I speak in respect
of want: for I have learned,
00:01:45.09\00:01:49.67
in whatsoever state I
am, therewith to be content.
00:01:49.70\00:01:53.25
I know both how to be abased,
and I know how to abound:
00:01:53.28\00:01:57.30
every where and in all things
I am instructed both to be full
00:01:57.33\00:02:02.07
and to be hungry, both to
abound and to suffer need.
00:02:02.10\00:02:06.27
I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me.
00:02:06.30\00:02:09.87
Notwithstanding ye
have well well done
00:02:09.90\00:02:13.05
that ye did
communicate with my affliction.
00:02:13.08\00:02:15.30
Now ye Philippians know also,
that in the beginning of the
00:02:15.33\00:02:19.49
gospel, when I
departed from Macedonia,
00:02:19.52\00:02:22.60
no church communicated with me
concerning giving and receiving,
00:02:22.63\00:02:25.91
but ye only. For even in
Thessalonica ye sent once
00:02:25.94\00:02:30.36
and again unto my necessity.
Not because I desire a gift:
00:02:30.39\00:02:35.40
but I desire fruit that
may abound to your account.
00:02:35.43\00:02:38.76
But I have all,
and abound. I am full,
00:02:38.79\00:02:43.38
having received of Epaphroditus
the things which were sent
00:02:43.41\00:02:47.20
from you, and odour of a sweet
smell, a sacrifice acceptable,
00:02:47.23\00:02:51.85
well pleasing to God. But my
God shall supply all your need
00:02:51.88\00:02:56.30
according to His riches
in glory by Christ Jesus.
00:02:56.33\00:03:00.27
Now unto God and our Father
be glory for ever and ever.
00:03:00.30\00:03:04.45
Amen. Salute every
saint in Christ Jesus.
00:03:04.85\00:03:08.20
The brethren which
are with me greet you.
00:03:08.23\00:03:10.27
All the saints salute
you, chiefly they that are of
00:03:10.30\00:03:13.87
Caesar's household. The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
00:03:13.90\00:03:17.28
be with you all. Amen.
Turning now to the first letter
00:03:17.31\00:03:24.55
Colossians, chapter one.
This is the King James version.
00:03:24.58\00:03:28.28
Paul, an apostle of Jesus
Christ by the will of God,
00:03:28.31\00:03:33.19
and Timotheus our brother.
To the saints and faithful
00:03:33.22\00:03:37.81
brethren in Christ which are
at Colosse: Grace be unto you,
00:03:37.84\00:03:42.12
and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:03:42.15\00:03:45.10
We give thanks to God and the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:03:45.13\00:03:49.60
praying always for you,
since we heard of your faith
00:03:49.63\00:03:53.50
in Christ Jesus, and of the love
which ye have to all the saints.
00:03:53.53\00:03:56.95
For the hope which is
laid up for you in heaven,
00:03:56.98\00:04:00.10
whereof ye heard before in the
word of the truth of the gospel;
00:04:00.13\00:04:03.70
which is come unto you,
as it is in all the world;
00:04:03.73\00:04:06.55
and bringeth forth
fruit, as it doth also in you,
00:04:06.58\00:04:10.24
since the day ye heard of
it, and knew the grace of God
00:04:10.27\00:04:13.60
in truth: As ye also learned of
Epaphras our dear fellow-servant
00:04:13.63\00:04:18.75
who is for you a
faithful minister of Christ;
00:04:18.78\00:04:21.48
who also declared unto
us your love in the Spirit.
00:04:21.51\00:04:24.79
For this cause we also,
since the day we heard it,
00:04:24.82\00:04:28.62
do not cease to pray for
you, and to desire that ye might
00:04:28.65\00:04:32.00
be filled with the knowledge
of His will in all wisdom
00:04:32.03\00:04:35.33
and spiritual understanding;
that ye might walk worthy
00:04:35.36\00:04:39.02
of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful
00:04:39.05\00:04:42.00
in every good work, and
increasing in the knowledge
00:04:42.03\00:04:45.10
of God; Strengthened with all
might, according to His glorious
00:04:45.13\00:04:49.26
power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
00:04:49.29\00:04:53.72
giving thanks unto the
Father, which hath made us meet
00:04:53.75\00:04:58.03
to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints
00:04:58.06\00:05:00.62
in light: Who hath delivered
us from the power of darkness,
00:05:00.65\00:05:04.88
and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son:
00:05:04.91\00:05:08.62
In whom we have
redemption through his blood,
00:05:08.65\00:05:11.81
even the forgiveness
of sins: Who is the image
00:05:11.84\00:05:15.94
of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature:
00:05:15.97\00:05:18.81
For by him were all things
created, that are in heaven,
00:05:18.84\00:05:22.70
and that are in
earth, visible and invisible,
00:05:22.73\00:05:25.44
whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or
00:05:25.47\00:05:29.75
powers: all things were
created by him, and for him.
00:05:29.79\00:05:33.33
And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
00:05:33.36\00:05:37.61
And he is the head of the body,
the church who is the beginning
00:05:37.64\00:05:42.09
the first born from the dead;
that in all things he might have
00:05:42.12\00:05:47.09
the preeminence. For it
pleased the Father that in him
00:05:47.12\00:05:50.29
should all fullness dwell; And
having made peace through the
00:05:50.32\00:05:55.26
blood of his cross, by
him to reconcile all things
00:05:55.29\00:05:59.44
unto himself; by him, I say,
whether they be things in earth,
00:05:59.47\00:06:04.41
or things in heaven. And you,
that were sometime alienated
00:06:04.44\00:06:09.52
and enemies in your
mind by wicked works,
00:06:09.55\00:06:12.77
yet now hath he reconciled
in the body of his flesh
00:06:12.80\00:06:18.48
through death, to
present you holy and unblameable
00:06:18.51\00:06:22.82
and unreproveable in his sight:
If ye continue in the faith
00:06:22.85\00:06:27.57
grounded and settled, and
be not moved away from the hope
00:06:27.60\00:06:32.33
of the gospel which ye have
heard, and which was preached
00:06:32.36\00:06:35.40
to every creature which is under
heaven; whereof I Paul am made
00:06:35.43\00:06:40.31
a minister; who now rejoice
in my sufferings for you,
00:06:40.34\00:06:44.58
and fill up that which is behind
of the afflictions of Christ
00:06:44.61\00:06:48.51
in my flesh for his body's
sake, which is the church:
00:06:48.54\00:06:52.07
whereof I am made a minister,
according to the dispensation
00:06:52.10\00:06:56.33
of God which is given to me for
you, to fulfill the word of God;
00:06:56.36\00:07:01.10
Even the mystery which
hath been hid from ages
00:07:01.13\00:07:05.07
and from generations, but now
is made manifest to his saints:
00:07:05.10\00:07:09.76
To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory
00:07:09.79\00:07:12.65
of this mystery among the
Gentiles which is Christ in you,
00:07:12.68\00:07:16.62
the hope of glory: Whom
we preach, warning every man,
00:07:16.65\00:07:21.57
and teaching every man in
all wisdom; that we may present
00:07:21.60\00:07:25.19
every man perfect in Christ
Jesus, whereunto I also labour,
00:07:25.22\00:07:30.06
striving
according to his working,
00:07:30.09\00:07:32.49
which worketh in me mightily.
00:07:32.52\00:07:35.02
We are continuing in the
book of Colossians, chapter two.
00:07:35.05\00:07:39.19
For I would that ye knew what
great conflict I have for you,
00:07:39.22\00:07:43.65
and for them at Laodicea,
and for as many as have not seen
00:07:43.68\00:07:47.16
my face in the flesh; that
their hearts might be comforted,
00:07:47.19\00:07:50.74
being knit together in love,
and unto all riches of the full
00:07:50.77\00:07:54.47
assurance of understanding,
to the acknowledgement
00:07:54.50\00:07:57.61
of the mystery of God, and
of the Father, and of Christ;
00:07:57.64\00:08:00.83
In whom are hid all
the treasures of wisdom and
00:08:00.86\00:08:03.97
knowledge. And this I say,
lest any man should beguile you
00:08:04.00\00:08:08.39
with enticing words. For
though I be absent in the flesh,
00:08:08.42\00:08:11.97
yet am I with you in the spirit,
joying and beholding your order,
00:08:12.00\00:08:16.91
and the steadfastness
of your faith in Christ.
00:08:16.94\00:08:19.37
As ye have therefore
received Christ Jesus the Lord,
00:08:19.40\00:08:23.64
so walk ye in him: rooted and
built up in him, and established
00:08:23.67\00:08:28.95
in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with
00:08:28.98\00:08:32.49
thanksgiving. Beware lest any
man spoil you through philosophy
00:08:32.52\00:08:37.74
and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
00:08:37.77\00:08:40.34
after the rudiments of the
world and not after Christ,
00:08:40.37\00:08:43.69
For in him dwelleth all the
fullness of the Godhead bodily.
00:08:43.72\00:08:48.42
And ye are complete in
him, which is the head of
00:08:48.45\00:08:51.49
all principality and power:
In whom also ye are circumcised
00:08:51.52\00:08:55.73
with the circumcision made
without hands, in putting off
00:08:55.76\00:08:59.38
the body of the sins of
the flesh by the circumcision
00:08:59.41\00:09:02.45
of Christ: Buried with
him in baptism, wherein also
00:09:02.48\00:09:06.78
ye are risen with him through
the faith of the operation
00:09:06.81\00:09:09.97
of God, who hath raised him from
the dead. And you, being dead
00:09:10.00\00:09:14.38
in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh,
00:09:14.41\00:09:17.16
hath he quickened together
with him, having forgiven you
00:09:17.19\00:09:20.86
all trespasses; blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances
00:09:20.89\00:09:24.87
that was against us,
which was contrary to us,
00:09:24.90\00:09:27.59
and took it out of the
way, nailing it to his cross;
00:09:27.62\00:09:31.72
And having spoiled
principalities and powers
00:09:31.75\00:09:34.96
he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it.
00:09:34.99\00:09:38.98
let no man therefore
judge you in meat, or in drink,
00:09:39.01\00:09:43.15
or in respect of an
holyday, or of the new moon,
00:09:43.18\00:09:46.28
or of the Sabbath days: which
are a shadow of things to come;
00:09:46.31\00:09:50.00
but the body is of Christ.
Let no man beguile you of
00:09:50.03\00:09:54.29
your reward in a voluntary
humility and worshipping
00:09:54.32\00:09:57.17
of angels, intruding into those
things which he hath not seen,
00:09:57.20\00:10:01.03
vainly puffed up by his fleshly
mind, and not holding the Head
00:10:01.06\00:10:05.50
from which all the
body by joints and bands
00:10:05.53\00:10:08.87
having nourishment ministered,
and knit together, increaseth
00:10:08.90\00:10:12.53
with the increase of
God. Wherefore if ye be dead
00:10:12.56\00:10:16.43
with Christ from the rudiments
of the world, why, as though
00:10:16.46\00:10:20.68
living in the world, are
ye subject to ordinances,
00:10:20.71\00:10:23.89
- touch not; taste not; handle
not; which all are to perish
00:10:23.92\00:10:27.93
with the using; - after
the commandments and doctrines
00:10:27.96\00:10:30.54
of men? Which things have indeed
a shew of wisdom in will-worship
00:10:30.57\00:10:35.47
and humility, and neglecting
of the body; not in any honour
00:10:35.50\00:10:39.59
to the satisfying of the flesh.
- We're reading Colossians,
00:10:39.62\00:10:43.68
chapter three and this
is the King James version.
00:10:43.71\00:10:46.09
If ye then be risen with
Christ, seek those things
00:10:46.12\00:10:51.56
which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God
00:10:51.59\00:10:55.63
Set your affection on
things above, not on things
00:10:55.66\00:10:59.67
on the earth. For ye are dead,
and your life is hid with Christ
00:10:59.70\00:11:04.93
in God. When Christ, who
is our life, shall appear,
00:11:04.96\00:11:10.42
then shall ye also
appear with him in glory.
00:11:10.45\00:11:13.99
Mortify therefore your members
which are upon the earth;
00:11:14.02\00:11:18.06
fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection,
00:11:18.09\00:11:22.79
evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
00:11:22.82\00:11:27.17
For which things' sake the wrath
of God cometh on the children
00:11:27.20\00:11:31.04
of disobedience: In the
which ye also walked some time,
00:11:31.07\00:11:34.83
when you lived in them. But
now ye also put off all these;
00:11:34.86\00:11:39.28
anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy communication
00:11:39.31\00:11:45.09
out of your mouth. Lie not
one to another, seeing that you
00:11:45.12\00:11:49.23
have put off the
old man with his deeds;
00:11:49.26\00:11:51.46
And have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge
00:11:51.49\00:11:55.02
after the image of him
that created him: where there is
00:11:55.05\00:11:58.99
neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision,
00:11:59.02\00:12:02.85
Barbarian, Scythian, bond
nor free: but Christ is all
00:12:02.88\00:12:08.53
and in all. Put on
therefore as the elect of God,
00:12:08.56\00:12:12.81
holy and beloved, bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness
00:12:12.84\00:12:18.33
of mind, meekness, longsuffering
forbearing one another and
00:12:18.36\00:12:24.19
forgiving one another, if any
man have a quarrel against any:
00:12:24.22\00:12:27.80
even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye.
00:12:27.83\00:12:31.84
And above all these things put
on charity, which is the bond
00:12:31.87\00:12:36.85
of perfectness. And let the
peace of God rule in your hearts
00:12:36.88\00:12:41.16
to the which also ye are called
in one body; and be ye thankful.
00:12:41.19\00:12:46.05
Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom;
00:12:46.09\00:12:50.58
teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns
00:12:50.61\00:12:54.82
and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts
00:12:54.85\00:12:58.60
to the Lord. And whatsoever
ye do in word or deed,
00:12:58.63\00:13:02.68
do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God
00:13:02.71\00:13:07.45
and the Father by him.
Wives, submit yourselves
00:13:07.48\00:13:12.35
unto your own husbands,
as it is fit in the Lord
00:13:12.38\00:13:15.53
Husbands, love your wives,
and be not bitter against them.
00:13:15.56\00:13:20.25
Children, obey your parents
in all things: for this is well
00:13:20.28\00:13:25.09
pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers
provoke not your children
00:13:25.12\00:13:29.70
to anger, lest
they be discouraged.
00:13:29.73\00:13:31.87
Servants, obey in
all things your masters
00:13:31.90\00:13:35.81
according to the flesh; not
with eye-service, as menpleasers
00:13:35.84\00:13:40.10
but in singleness
of heart, fearing God:
00:13:40.13\00:13:43.36
And whatsoever ye do, do
it heartily, as to the Lord,
00:13:43.39\00:13:47.79
and not unto men; knowing that
of the Lord ye shall receive
00:13:47.82\00:13:51.72
the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ.
00:13:51.75\00:13:55.51
But he that doeth wrong
shall receive for the wrong
00:13:55.54\00:13:58.82
which he hath done, and
there is no respect of persons.
00:13:58.85\00:14:02.27
Continuing with chapter four.
Masters, give unto your servants
00:14:02.30\00:14:07.50
that which is just and
equal; knowing the ye also
00:14:07.53\00:14:11.15
have a Master in
heaven. Continue in prayer,
00:14:11.18\00:14:14.09
and watch in the
same with thanksgiving;
00:14:14.12\00:14:16.74
Until we meet again,
let's continue in prayer,
00:14:16.77\00:14:20.17
watch in thanksgiving, and
may the God of hope keep you
00:14:20.20\00:14:24.00
with all joy and
peace in believing.
00:14:24.03\00:14:26.21
Through your faith in Christ
Jesus and by the power of the
00:14:26.24\00:14:29.37
Holy Spirit. Thank you
for joining me. Goodbye.
