Bought At a Price | Intro to Colossians

Enjoy this short clip from a full sermon pastor Bob delivered titled Intro to Colossians

"The Bible tells us again in 1st Corinthians 6 that we've been bought at a price we are not our own and therefore we belong to Christ, and he goes on to say and because you're not your own you need to offer yourselves in service to God

What does that mean to be a true son of the faith what does that look like, and I can tell you what it looks like. It looks like Jesus, it looks like somebody that's pursuing Christ, it looks like somebody that is actually following the model of Paul in such a way that somebody else was infected with his passion for the kingdom of God. Paul saw working itself out and through the heart of Timothy, and he said my brother, you're like my true son in the faith, you're like my brother from another mother. It's that whole same concept you know, it's like we share everything in common, and why not, because he was just following Paul because he was following Christ and he calls him our brother.

Now what I love about this, is that we find out some leadership principles about Paul in the way he led. I want to encourage you because all of us have some form of leadership in life it might be as a husband, or as a parent, a mom might be that you own a business or that you have employees under you, might be in your community, might be in the church, but wherever it is, take note of the kind of leader that Paul was because he very easily could have just said the Apostle Paul is now speaking and left everyone else's name out, but he includes all these other names, including Timothy, and he recognized the partnership of those that served with him. This is what Paul did by bringing up Timothy's name he says that I want you guys to know I'm not by myself I'm not doing all this alone
