(3 of 6). From Colossians 1:24-2:5. Join Jonathan as we process Paul's writing to the Colossians. Today we'll observe: (1) suffering produced from preaching is an evidence of trustworthiness; (2) no matter how drawn out, false doctrine is built on a false premise; and

(2 of 6). Time and culture change but false teachers use the same tactics throughout history:

Displace Jesus as Messiah and Lord. Pervert the doctrine.

Paul does us a great favor here by exposing the vastness of Christ's authority and power. Christianity is not a "western" religion, or a modern religion, or one of the great religions of history. Christianity is at the heart of God's plan for every soul ever born regardless of place, time or position.

What do you know about the Bible book of Colossians? This brief, 4 chapter epistle contains some of the most beautiful descriptions about Jesus and His preeminent or all-sufficient nature. It also gives practical teaching to church leaders, family members, and Christians who desire to walk closer with Jesus. What were the Colossians struggling with? Why was the apostle Paul concerned for their faith? What can we glean from a study in this short Bible book? All these and more answered in a series on the New Testament letter to the Colossian church.

We continue to discuss the so called minor prophet Joel. The Lord states, "Rend your heart and not your garments." Joel cried out for the people to return to the Lord. This beautiful message of hope resonates event today. In this two episode series, Jonathan and Bryce continue to meditate on big questions like: Why is this book in the Bible? What can we learn from it? How can we use it to learn about God's will? This and more in the final episode in a two episode miniseries on Joel.

Joel is one of the "minor prophets." This was a group of twelve men who received messages from God during a time of great change and adversity during the Old Testament. Their messages are often overlooked because of the challenging language and style. In this two episode series, Jonathan and Bryce are going to discuss one of these prophets: Joel. Why is this book in the Bible? What can we learn from it? How can we use it to learn about God's will? This and more in a two episode miniseries on Joel.
