Our time in this book begins with Pastor Bill explaining the heresies that Paul is combating in the book of Colossians. Throughout the letter, Paul stresses the importance of exalting Christ above all else and how believers, despite their differences, can find unity in their faith in Him. This unity in Christ transcends any divisions or disputes that might arise among believers. Paul encourages the Colossian Christians to focus on the eternal truths of the gospel, which are essential for their spiritual growth and maturity.
