With all that is going on in our world today, you might be reading different articles and posts to help you make sense of it all. What if a letter written to a small church 2000 years ago could help us navigate the issues we face today? Colossians, written by the Apostle Paul, is quite possibly the most relevant letter in the New Testament to the issues we face in today's culture: the multitude of people claiming to speak truth, the pressures of society to conform to the views of others, the temptation to give into sinful lifestyle habits...the list goes on. In week one, we will see why Paul needs to write a letter to this church, and how it applies to us today.

We live in an increasingly confusing society. It’s hard to know what is true, and many differing philosophies are ruling the day. Whether its new age spirituality, legalism, asceticism, stoicism, materialism, or many other “isms”, there is a whirlwind of ideas that can make it difficult to know what to believe. At the core of all of these issues, there is one question we must wrestle with: who is Jesus? If Jesus was just a good teacher, then people can have their own ideas on how they ought to live their lives. But if Jesus is truly the King over all creation, then we have to make a decision about living in response to His supremacy. About 2,000 years ago, the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Colossian church that centered around the same questions – who is Jesus? What did He do? What is He still doing? How does He set us free from the things of this world? How should we respond? Join us as we explore one of the most relevant letters in the entire New Testament – a letter that helps us see Jesus more clearly, especially as we prepare our hearts to celebrate His death and resurrection at Easter.
