Week 2 of our study on the book of Colossians covers 1:15-23. This passage features a poetic description of Jesus as king and creator over all the world. Because of his position of prominence, he deserves our full attention and complete devotion. Paul helps us understand that the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus was the key event that God used to transform us from enemies of God to new creations in Christ.

Week 5 of our study on the book of Colossians covers 3:1-17. This is a practical, challenging passage that shows us how we should live and act as Christians who have been born again. There are some unhealthy habits that we need to avoid, and some Christlike attitudes and actions that we need to adopt.
Colossians 2:6-23
February 24, 2021
Week 4 of our study on the book of Colossians covers 2:6-23. It is in this passage that we find our theme word, "Rooted." Paul instructs us to be rooted in Christ as we grow up to achieve spiritual maturity--his overall goal for writing this letter. Because Jesus is supreme over all and sufficient for all we need, we don't need to listen to any teachings about Christ that contradict the Gospel or imply there's something in addition to Christ that a Christian needs to be saved. Instead, through the cross of Christ, God has already saved us. Paul uses the language of circumcision, putting off the old self, burial and resurrection, forgiveness and canceling a spiritual debt to describe the gift of grace that God has already poured out through the cross of Christ.
