Paul exhorts the Colossians to be rooted and built upon Jesus, in the same faith that they received him in.

Paul uses his own hardships associated with his identification and service to Jesus as an encouragement to the Colossian church. We find encouragement as believers to follow this example in hope.

Paul wraps this section up with a discussion of Jesus' preeminence proper.

Paul prays for the Colossian church and Pastor Sam make application to how we might learn to pray from this example.

Pastor Sam examines the salutation and occasion for the epistle to Colosse. We see great applicability and the reminder to live in our lives in submission to the headship of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Sam introduces the book of Colossians by identifying central theme and teaching of the Apostle Paul and providing a "10,000 foot" outline of the book.

Pastor Sam concludes our study through Micah. We find the Prophet finishing the point that God will be made known in all of Creation, either as judge or as Savior and we are reminded that there is none comparable to our Lord and Shepherd.

The Prophet expresses the truth that God will be exalted in all Creation. Even the judgment of Israel is a witness of the who God is and furthers His revelation to all mankind.

Pastor Sam looks at Micah's hope in the midst of "spiritual loneliness" found in waiting upon the ever-faithful Lord.

We find in the concluding scenes of Micah an invitation to turn back to the Lord. Pastor Sam suggests some ways in which we might have harbored subtle rebellion in our hearts.
