Bible Study: God's Institutions
(Colossians 3:16-4:1) - A StandingTrue Ministry Resource
  • Former President Jimmy Carter's declaration "Losing My Religion Over Equality" represents a disappointing departure from sound biblical teaching. Sadly, he has confused servanthood with subservience. This would be a good time to refresh yourself on how the institutions of God reflect the persons and character of our God.
  • ​We all understand that God's institutions are foundational to the survival of our society. Believers, however, need to look a little closer at why God has fabricated institutions the way He has and what He teaches us about Himself through them. This short study which focuses on just a few verses in Colossians is intended to expand our knowledge of God and provide opportunity for some lively classroom discussions as well.

Step 1: Download the PDF handout here.
Step 2: Download the FULL SCRIPT here.
Step 3: Instructors may want to download the short POWERPOINT presentation here.
Step 4: Listen to the 35 minute class here or hear our podcast on Podbean.  (Keep in mind this podcast was recorded live and may not have the best sound quality at all times.)


​The outline for our study is as follows:
​

​Q 1. What do we mean by the term “institutions of God?”
​Q 2. Why do we embrace God’s institutions? (See  Col. 3:12 above.)
Q 3. In what way then do these institutions reflect God?
Q 4. How does the institution of marriage reflect the Servant Christ?
    1. The Egalitarian (equality) model.  Gen.1:27, 28; 2:7, Gen. 2:21-25 
    2. The Complementary (help meet) model. Gen. 2:18, Mark 10:2-9, Gen. 3:16
    3. The Christological model.  Eph. 5:21-33
Q 5. How does the institution of the family reflect the Servant Christ?
Q 6. How does the employer/employee relationship reflect the Servant Christ?
Q 7. How then does the New Ecumenism relate to God and His institutions?

Bible Study: It's No Mystery! (Colossians 1:27)
  • Take a broad overlook at mysteries in general, and the mysteries of Christ in particular.
* This study includes an Audio Bible class session, a six minute introductory video, and a session handout. 

Step 1: Download the PDF handout here. Ideally, you will want to print and fold it.
Step 2: Watch this six minute video first.  If you cannot watch it just skip to step three. If you can watch it, when you are done, you can fast forward through the first six minutes of the audio podcast to begin the lesson.
​
Step 3: Listen to the audio podcast.  Remember, this was delivered in an adult Bible study, so there will be personal references that will be irrelevant. Sound quality will vary a bit when Jim moves away from the podium.

* PowerPoint slides for this presentation are also available upon request.
Bible Study: Our Preeminent Christ (Colossians 1)
  • Understand how Paul represented Christ in the context of his day and how we often misrepresent Christ in our day. Learn how to contrast the wisdom of God with the wisdom of this world from Colossians 1.
* This study includes 38 minutes of audio, a five minute video, and a corresponding handout. Read these steps in advance:

Step 1: Download the PDF handout here. Ideally, you will want to print and fold it.
Step 2: Be prepared to interrupt the podcast long enough to watch this five minute video entitled Gnostics in the Kitchen when prompted. You will listen to half of the podcast first, watch the video, and return to the podcast.
​
Step 3: Listen to the podcast.  Remember, you will need to return to minute 30 of the podcast after watching the video, so just place it on pause and then return to it.

Bar compares views with Dispensationalism.
Just so you know....In an age when folks work hard to obscure their true beliefs, we want you to know we love all of our brethren in Christ everywhere, but we stand squarely on the Bible alone and we interpret it in its normal literal sense.
