"Supreme Lord Sufficient Savior - A Study of Colossians" Week 6 Colossians 1:24-29

Last Sunday, we only made it part of the way through our verses. So this Sunday, we will finish looking at Paul’s instructions to the church about suffering for the gospel. As Paul concludes his opening remarks, he directly addresses the elephant in the room: he is writing this letter from jail. How can a man encourage a church to remain hopeful in Christ while he is enduring suffering for Christ? Paul’s teachings had much to share with the church in Colossae, and they hold significant relevance for us today regarding how and why we suffer. Join us this Sunday as we conclude the two-part sermon on a Christian perspective on suffering for Christ.Series OverviewThe church at Colossae might have existed thousands of years ago and thousands of miles away from us, but the letter Paul wrote to them is just as meaningful and relevant today as if it were written yesterday. The book of Colossians offers a wonderful mix of theological truth and practical life application. The beginning of the book presents one of the most profound teachings about Christ anywhere in scripture. The second half explains how that truth is expressed in every aspect of our lives, from our individual lives to our homes, families, and work. No matter where you are, there is something in this study for you.
