In this opening episode of our teaching series through the book of Colossians, we explore the background, context, and purpose behind Paul’s letter to the Colossian church. Paul writes to a group of believers he’s never met, yet his heart is full of gratitude for the powerful work the Gospel is doing among them. We’ll walk through Colossians 1:1–8, uncovering how the Gospel produces visible fruit in the lives of believers and why faith, love, and hope are the foundational marks of Christian maturity. Join us as we dive into the transforming power of the message of Christ—and what it means for us today.
