1. Colossians
The Pastor’s Conflict
Lesson 11

2. It is good for us to bear in mind
that the Bible repeatedly likens
the Christian life as a battle.
•We are to put on the whole
armor
•We are to endure hardness as
good soldiers
•We are have been chosen to be
soldiers by the Lord

3. NOT WITH THE GOVERNMENT
The government
controlled the Christian
Church
The Christian church
controlled the
government

4. NOT WITH THE GOVERNMENT
Neither
•Christ, nor
•Paul nor the
•Anabaptists
ever took up arms against the
government.

5. NOT WITH JUDAISM
Paul preached that Christ sets a man
free from the works of the Law and
the Jews did have a conflict with Paul
concerning it.
He was Jewish by birth and carried
with him to his dying day a burden
to see them saved.
Never the less, he loved the Jewish
people and sought to win them at all
costs to life and limb.

6. NOT FOR THE LOST
It is because we have
watered down the
importance of sound
doctrine and teaching so
much that so many
Christians have lost a
passion to see people get
saved.

7. FOR THE BELIEVERS
A. Comfort in their hearts
B. Being knit together in love
C. Having full assurance
•Confidence in the salvation God
promised us
•Certainty that heaven is our home and
•Conviction that God is in control even
of this world’s crazy events
