Show Notes

As Paul begins this letter, in the first few verses he introduces himself, explains the world-wide scope of the Christian movement, and then tells the Colossians how he is praying for them. These prayers, especially, give us a window into the Apostle's heart, and help us understand what Christian discipleship is really all about.

 

In Today’s Top Ten List, we explore ten lessons from Paul praying on behalf of the Colossians. These include the importance of thankfulness, stressing obedience to the gospel, having knowledge of God’s will, and persistence. Scriptures referenced include Colossians 1:3-11; Philemon 1:23; 1 Corinthians 13; and Matthew 5:46-47.
