In perhaps the trickiest part of Colossians Paul gives instructions for how we should live together in our homes. How do we understand these verses in the 21st century?

In Colossians 3 Paul gives some really good advice for how to live as a Christian:

1. Have a heavenly mindset

2. Put to death your old-self

3. Put on the new-self by, remembering who you are, being who you are, worshipping your King, and serving your King.

Paul instructs the Colossians in Col 2:6-23 to build their life on the foundation of Jesus as Lord. Nothing else should take them away from that or be added to it.

As Paul continues to introduce himself to the Colossian church he tells them that he is a suffering, commissioned, and hardworking servant of God. We too as Christians are commissioned to be gospel shares who will suffer and must work hard to share the good news trusting God's care.

After introducing himself and giving thanks to God for the Colossians' life-changing faith, Paul now moves to remind them about the centre of their faith, the supreme Lord Jesus! It's a useful reminder for us to make sure our picture of Jesus is big enough!

We begin our 7 weeks series in the book of the Colossians getting our head around why Paul wrote it, when he wrote it, and who he wrote it to. Then we look at his opening prayer for the church and what we can learn about how we should be praying for one another!

We continue our series looking at prayer in John 17 and the Lord's Prayer. What can we learn from Jesus' prayers? How do they shape our prayer life?
