Show Notes

Colossians is written explicitly to defeat a heresy that has arisen in Colossae, which endangers the existence of this church in Asia Minor. While we do not know exactly what this heresy is, Paul’s epistle is his response to this. In Chapters 1-2, Paul warns the Colossians not to allow anyone to lead them astray with philosophy, trickery, or by traditions of men. In the final two chapters, Paul encourages the church to focus on God, and keep their eyes on the goal, “set your mind on the things above.”  One of his definitive statements is in Colossians 3:14-15, “Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts."

 

Other scriptures referenced include Acts 19:10; Colossians 1:7; Colossians 4:12; Colossians 2:16-18; Colossians 2:9; Colossians 1:20; Colossians 2:14; Colossians 3:2; and Colossians 3:12-15.
