We're starting a new series for a new year! Over the next week join St Matts as we journey through the book of Colossians - a letter written to the freshling church at Colossae praising God for the seed of the Gospel that has been growing and bearing fruit and encouraging them to go deeper that as they understand the fullness of God in Jesus they might also be brought to fullness in Jesus. In todays passage Paul prays that they (and we!) would bear fruit, grow in knowing God, be strengthen by the spirit and give thanks — what a great way to start a new year!
