DECEMBER - JANUARY

The Book of Colossians: Lobby Area

The apostle Paul, with Timothy as his secretary, wrote this letter to Christians living in the small city of Colossae. It was probably written c. A.D. 62, while Paul was inprisonin Rome. This was about the same time he wrote Ephesians and Philemon. All 3 letters were sent with Tychicus and Onesimus.

Paul wrote to warn against some false teachings threatening the church at Colossae and to encourage the believers intheir growthtoward Christian maturity. He emphasizes Christ’s authority over all evil powers. Christians are united with the risen Christ, and therefore they share in his power and authority. Paul also encourages these believers to fight against sin, pursue holiness, and live as distinctively Christian households.

The main theme of the book is that Christ is Lord over all: Christ’s Lordship over the creation;

Christ’s Lordshipover thenew creation- church; Christ is Lord of all.

Colossians 1:18 is the key verse: “And he is thehead of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. “

Membership Rm 101
