Colossians Wrap-Up | Putting on the Character of Christ
We have been working our way through the book of Colossians in this series of posts and today we will wrap it up. In the last lesson, we began talking about how we change and grow through a process that is sometimes called the put-offs and put-ons. In this lesson, we’ll look at what it means to let the Word of Christ dwell within us and talk more about the process of putting off the old man and putting on the character of Christ.

Colossians Part 5 | The Unfolding Plan of God, Crimes of Passion & Our Hope of Glory
We’re working our way through the book of Colossians in these weekly posts. In this lesson, we’ll talk about how Paul could rejoice in suffering, what he meant when he said he was “filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions,” how persecution can be like murder when it’s a crime of passion, the unfolding plan of God, and the mystery that had been hidden from earlier generations.
Colossians Part 4 | A Summary of the Christian Life
We’re working our way through the book of Colossians in these weekly posts. And even though we are still in chapter one, speaking for myself, I have learned so much. If you missed the previous posts, I’ll add the links below. In today’s passage, Paul moves from his beautiful hymn about the preeminence of Christ and a sweeping view of His reconciling work in the new creation to a closer look at the people of God and a summary of the Christian life.
Colossians | What Does Christ’s Preeminence Mean to Me?
As I mentioned in the introduction last week, I have had a desire for some time to really dig into the book of Colossians. And this year I’m one of several teachers who will be taking our women’s ministry through this powerful little epistle. So I thought I would share some of the truths we are learning with you all, as well.
Colossians is all about Jesus. It calls us to worship Him, understand who He is, and live in light of that truth. It’s both theological and practical. And it contains one of the most quoted and most taught portions of Scripture, especially when it comes to Christ.
Studying the book of Colossians will help us answer some very important questions. For starters, what does it mean when we say that Jesus is preeminent? That He is sufficient? And how should we live in light of who He is? So, I hope you will come back each week and grow with me through Paul’s letter to our first-century brothers and sisters.
Today we’re going to look at how He is preeminent and sufficient. And what it means that we should preach the gospel to ourselves.
