In Colossians 3:15–17, Paul paints a picture of a disciple whose life is marked by peace, gratitude, and the Word of Christ dwelling richly within them. Living like changed people means allowing the peace of Christ to rule our hearts, letting His Word shape our minds, and doing everything—whether in word or deed—in the name of the Lord Jesus. This kind of life reflects a deep, inner transformation that shows up in our worship, relationships, and daily actions. We are called not just to believe differently, but to live differently—richly, gratefully, and Christ-centered in all things.As we reflect on the teachings of Colossians 3:15-17, let us remember that the Christian life is characterized by peace, obedience, and gratitude. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/621252142201972 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 21 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:29:48 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Dwelling Richly (Colossians) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/621252125455236 Living Love_12. Colossians 3:12-14 KJV In this message, we explore what it truly means to live out love as followers of Christ. Drawing from Colossians 3:12–14, we're reminded that love is not abstract or passive—it's deeply practical, relational, and visible. Paul calls believers to clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving as the Lord forgave us. These virtues are the outward expression of a heart shaped by God's grace. Above all, love is what binds everything together in perfect unity. This sermon challenges us to reflect Christ's love in everyday relationships and live as a community marked by grace, forgiveness, and sacrificial love.As we conclude our time together, let us remember the imperative of living out God's love in our daily lives. Love is not merely a feeling or sentiment, but a tangible expression of God's character manifested through our actions and attitudes. May we be known as followers of Christ by the love we show to one another and to the world around us. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/621252125455236 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 20 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:27:49 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Dwelling Richly (Colossians) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/3202545422643 Cleanse Your Heart. Colossians 3:5-11KJVIn this message, we are reminded that while Christians live in the world, we are not to let the world live in us. The distinction between the believer and the world has become blurred, and Paul's message in Colossians 3:5-11 calls us to spiritual cleansing.Paul urges us to "put to death" the sinful nature within us—those desires and behaviors that do not align with a life surrendered to Christ. He warns against the dangers of undisciplined desires (sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed), which lead to idolatry and bring God's wrath. These sins, once part of our old life, must be removed as we walk in newness with Christ.Beyond sinful desires, Paul also calls for the removal of unholy temperament, including anger, rage, and malice, which can corrupt our character and witness. Additionally, he highlights the need to cleanse our untamed speech, warning against slander, filthy language, and lying—behaviors that damage relationships and dishonor God.Finally, Paul challenges us to rid ourselves of unwarranted prejudice, emphasizing that in Christ, all barriers—racial, social, and cultural—are broken. Our identity is now found in Him alone, and we must live as new creations, reflecting His image.Because Christ is renewing us daily, we should willingly cast off anything that hinders our spiritual growth. Cleansing our hearts is not just about what we remove, but about embracing the new life God has called us to—one of holiness, truth, and unity in Christ.Challenge for Reflection:What areas of your life need to be cleansed so that Christ may dwell richly within you? https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/3202545422643 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 19 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:24:29 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Dwelling Richly (Colossians) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/8222402271528 Fix Your Gaze_10. Colossians 3:1-4 In this sermon from the "Dwelling Richly" series, based on Colossians 3:16, we explore the importance of setting our focus on Christ and the eternal realities He represents. THE DEMANDS OF THE BELIEVERS NEW LIFE I. Pursuing Heavenly Desires (Colossians 3:1) II. Engaging Heavenly Thoughts (Colossians 3:2) III. Embracing Eternal Perspectives (Colossians 3:3-4)Paul urges us to "fix our gaze" on the things above in chapter 3:1-4, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. This means shifting our attention away from temporary, earthly concerns and placing it firmly on the eternal truths and values found in Christ. By doing so, we align our lives with God's will and reflect His character more fully.Colossians 3:1-4 calls us to seek the things above, where our identity is hidden with Christ in God. Our daily lives and decisions should be influenced by this heavenly perspective. As we dwell on Christ and His Word, as instructed in Colossians 3:16, we let His teachings richly inhabit our hearts, transforming our behavior and relationships.In essence, fixing our gaze on Christ allows us to live out our faith with purpose and clarity, making choices that honor God and build His kingdom. This focus not only brings personal growth but also fosters a deeper sense of community and connection within the Body of Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/8222402271528 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 21 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:51:47 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Dwelling Richly (Colossians) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/8824223436554 Relationships Over Rituals_09. Colossians 2:16-23 Paul urges the Colossian believers to focus on their relationship with Christ rather than being distracted by religious rituals and rules. He emphasizes that true spirituality is not determined by external practices or mystical experiences but by a deep, personal connection with Jesus. The Colossians were judged to be bad Christians if they disobeyed all the rules and were judged to be good Christians if they submitted to them.Paul warns against letting rituals and regulations overshadow the centrality of this relationship, reminding us that our union with Christ is far more valuable and transformative than any outward observance.Our relationship with Christ is like that. If we will see it as a relationship which is in the process of being developed, we will have the opportunity to experience each day the serendipitous grace of God. There is no joy on earth like the joy that comes from walking through life with Jesus Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/8824223436554 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 07 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:52:48 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Dwelling Richly (Colossians) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/7292424263544 Revived in Christ_08 Colossians 2:11-15 The Apostle Paul addresses the transformative power of Christ's work in our lives. He begins by highlighting our spiritual circumcision in Christ, a metaphor for the complete removal of our sinful nature through His sacrifice. This new identity is not achieved by human effort but by Christ's divine intervention.Paul continues by emphasizing that through Christ's death and resurrection, we have been freed from the legalistic demands of the old covenant. The "record of debt" that stood against us has been cancelled—nailed to the cross. In doing so, Christ disarmed the powers and authorities that once held us captive, triumphing over them in His victory.In this passage, Paul reassures believers that our revival and new life are grounded in the completed work of Christ. We are no longer bound by our past sins or the constraints of legalism. Instead, we are invited to live in the freedom and victory that Christ provides, embracing our new identity as redeemed and revived in Him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/7292424263544 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Jul 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:35:11 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Dwelling Richly (Colossians) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/7924232363311 Overflowing With Fullness.
