Colossians (2011)
Sunday, August 28, 2011
by Robert Dean
Passage: Colossians 1:24
Series: Colossians (2011)
Duration: 54 mins 38 secs
What is suffering? What is happiness? Many would say that suffering is when life doesn't meet with our expectations. Many would say that happiness is associated with a specific set of pleasurable circumstances.

In this lesson we learn more about different levels of joy and happiness, and what gladness means. We learn that when our happiness is influenced by people, emotions, and circumstances, we become enslaved to them. We learn what robust joy is. We learn how abiding in Christ is connected to real joy and stability.

In this section Paul continues the gospel message to these Jews by shifting to the Davidic Covenant, a promise which was very familiar to them. Review the Davidic Covenant which is an elaboration of the seed promise in the Abrahamic Covenant. Walk back through numerous Old Testament Messianic passages that address Israel’s future hope in turning to God, His restoration of the Land and promise to David of an eternal kingdom through his seed. See how directly Paul addresses these Jews on the basis of their well-known scripture and the unquestionable ways Paul presents to them, through recognition of the promise of the Davidic Covenant, that these things are fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Who is the Antichrist? Step right up and make your guess or better yet, listen to this message to learn that he won't be revealed until after the Rapture of the church. See that he bursts upon the world stage during a time filled with wars, earthquakes, and epidemics. Observe that this charismatic and cunning man will be empowered by Satan and adored by the masses. Follow the panorama of history where prophecy has already been fulfilled leading to a future, evil kingdom, worse than anything the world has ever known.
