Paul’s letter to the Colossians was written to counter false teachers who were misleading the church. Their teaching was diminishing Christ's preeminence through adding a mixture of Jewish legalism, Greek philosophy, and early Gnostic ideas. Our verses today are a transition to Paul’s main theme which begins with an incredible word portrait of the preeminence of Christ in verses 15 to 22.

This week, we will discover that the truth of your redemption transforms you.
