In the first century, the church at Colossae (in modern day Turkey) was under attack from false teachers seeking to persuade them that the person and work of Jesus Christ was neither supreme nor sufficient for their salvation and human flourishing. Being concerned for a flock he had never visited before, the Apostle Paul writes this letter to encourage the church to stand in the truth and power of the gospel that has saved them and promises to sustain them in perfect supremacy and sufficiency for their every need. In this message we'll explore the introduction and background to the book of Colossians, as well as a profound prayer Paul prays for this church that is just as relevant to the church today as it was 2000 years ago.
