Col. 1:3-12 | Firmly Established and Steadfast, Part 2 | 2/21/2021 | Brian Criscuolo. The main theme of the opening of the letter to the Colossian church is the priority of prayer for Paul and his team praying for the church in Colossae. How can we pray for one another to increase our faith, increase our comprehension of God's word, increase doing good, increase our steadfastness and patience, and increase our thankfulness to the Lord?
