COLOSSIANS – Introduction – Br. Godly Abraham -[Audio sermon]

Posted here is the sermon delivered by Br. Godly Abraham at Borivali Assembly on 2 August 2017.Passage of Reference: Col 1Book of Colossians was written to new believers at Colosse. It was in response to four different types of false doctrines that had crept silently into their midst, possibly by the arrival of some outsiders. Epaphras brought this to the notice of Apostle Paul while under house arrest in Acts 28. Paul, therefore, writes the four chapters to the believers encouraging them to strive for a life of perfection and maturity. The method and manner of perfection can be attained by the principles laid out in the four chapters of Colossians. In chapter 1, Paul exhibits the various aspects of the glory of Christ. Right near the center of the chapter, Paul places Christ in a place of superiority and unparalleled authority. He is utterly supreme and cannot be compared to any other leader or person. He is singular in his existence and his exercise. He is the Oneness from which all things are created.

SEARCH ME OH GOD AND KNOW MY HEART – Bro. Koshy Mathew – [Audio-Video Sermon]

Bro. Koshy Mathew expounds a simple prayer by the psalmist: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. He explains the perspective/understanding of the Psalmist, how he accepts the fact of God being Omniscience, Omnipresent, Omnipotent. When this understanding increased, He understood God his Holy and hates wickedness. When this knowledge of God increases he prays this prayer so that He could help him to search his heart.The Lord is an Omniscience, Omnipresent, Omnipotent and also Holy. So we need to cleanse ourselves so that He could use us. If it’s not clean God won’t bless us. We must be gripped by the Holiness of God, if so we could also turn the world upside-down. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful above all and desperately wicked. Are your hearts clean? Bro Koshy then explains this verse in a very concise way.
