Colossians Series • 6. The PreeminenColossians Series • 6. The Preeminence of Christ's Church - Colossians 1:24-29 Part 2 Part 1 of this message begins in Colossians 1:26. The mystery of God is not revealed to the news media, the seminary, the university, or any other worldly institution. The truth of Who God is and what He has done has been ordained by God to be taught to His people in the world through the local church. If we are not active in a local assembly, we are robbing ourselves of things that God promised for centuries to reveal to us. If we are ignorant of God's will, it is not because He has hidden it from us. It is because we have neglected the one place where He said He would teach us — the church.

God gives men understanding of His word so that they can feed the people of God and comfort them.
To preach with authority does not mean that you are loud, can boast several degrees, or show how many books you have published. A man that preaches with authority gets his doctrine form the word of God. He gives glory to God. He feedsthe sheep with knowledge and understanding. He loves like a shepherd and does not threaten like a taskmaster.
Our zeal for the Lord should always be in line with the clear direction of the Lord.
If a man feels led to preach the gospel, he should consider this lesson and be in deep prayer and preparation before he even begins to answer that call. He should continue in prayer and preparation while he carries out God's orders. And it would be a true help to the cause of Christ if his church and family freed his hands as much as possible to the good work.
