Colossians | Part 1 | Opening Prayer (Plus 2 Special Announcements) - Audio

Pastor Jake started our Summer series that will take us verse-by-verse through the book of Colossians. Week 1 covered verses 1-14 in Colossians chapter 1. The Apostle Paul is writing this letter to the Colossian church because Epaphras has come to him for help. There is a group of false teachers (Gnostics) attacking the new little church and it’s causing confusion among these young believers. They’re saying that they have special knowledge that the Colossians need in order to be saved by God. The book of Colossians is about how that is not the case. It’s about the supremacy of Christ – how He is the fullness of all things. Jesus plus nothing. That’s the theme.
