Some people think that the bible is outdated and full of old ideas. I couldn't disagree more! We live in tumultuous times just like people did back when the bible was written. We have social, political, and cultural pressures today and so did people back then. One of those groups were the Christians from the city of Colossae. The Apostle Paul wrote them a letter to encourage them in their faith in the midst of the pressure they were facing. Today we begin to read through and study the book of Colossians. Our goal is to be encouraged and strengthened to stand strong with Jesus just like the Colossians were.
