In this message from Colossians 4:7–18, Dr. Jonathan Youssef highlights Paul’s closing words and the eight friends who stood by him in ministry. Each of these men—whether a servant like Tychicus, a restored runaway like Onesimus, a faithful companion like Aristarchus, or a Gospel writer like Luke—reminds us that God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Their stories show that the work of the Gospel is never a solo mission but a shared calling among the body of Christ. Just as Paul depended on faithful friends to encourage, support, and labor alongside him, so too we need one another to fulfill God’s mission. Ultimately, this passage challenges us to consider our own role in the Church and to commit ourselves fully to serving Christ together.
