In this class, we look at Colossians 4:2-6. After working on our own lives to truly make Christ all to us, what must our focus be? Did Christ only die for us? If He is living in us, we must be busy taking His gospel to others as well so that they can be complete to stand in Him also.
In Colossians 4:7-18, we find a lot of greetings from brethren with Paul to brethren in Colossae or Laodicea. In this class we look at who these brethren were and what we can learn from these greetings.
