Today we'll see that Paul had a great concern for the churches in Colosse and the surrounding area. His concern was that others would come and begin to cheat them through empty thoughts and philosophies. Paul will say that all of the fullness of God is found in Jesus so why would you or I or anyone else need anything but Jesus? He'll then go on to give a few examples of empty teachings that the world around them would teach and say.
