Moving into verses 16 and 17, we see how the word of God is essential to our peace individually. 

As we explore Colossians 3:15, we must consider what it means that peace is the possession of Christ, is not our servant, but our umpire, and is not in our circumstances. 

Today we get a refresher on the definition of love, and why this is the top layer of the Christian's new clothing. 

As we continue through Colossians 3, we stop and consider what it means to bear with one another, and probably the best motivation. 

As we continue to investigate the effects of genuine conversion, we learn what clothing befits a Christian heart. 

Today we consider the reason there cannot exist ethnic, class, or any other divisions among the members of our church.

The way to spiritual maturity, sanctification, personal holiness, or "good clean living" involves rightly identifying dangerous enemies. Paul's list in Colossians helps us understand what these enemies are actually named. 

Today we see why we can't domesticate remaining sin, and must learn to kill it. 

Realistic expectations about this life are essential to keep us seeking things above where Christ is.

As we finish chapter 2 of Colossians, we see how our death in Christ changes what things we are subject to.
