Colossians Study - Introduction

Welcome to the online portion of the Colossians bible study series. Each week our lifegroup will meet to work through one of the 10 parts of this series. However, that is only part of the experience. My brother Tim wrote this with the intention for those using the guide to engage with the material during the week as well. Each study has a set of suggested “further reading” which will include books and articles as well as videos and sermons that relate to the study. All of these links will be listed on this site for ease of access. There will also be a reflection on this site that we encourage you to read and engage with. You can read the reflection, follow the further reading, make a comment, agree, disagree, or just post a musing. This site will be updated each week so that the material is available directly after the Monday or Tuesday night study. On the right hand side of the blog you can subscribe so that the latest blog is sent direct to your email account when it is posted.

Colossians teaches us to “set our hearts and minds on things above” and to “let the word of Christ dwell in us richly”, hopefully this online portion of the studies will help us to do just that. Lets reflect on the word and let it speak to us, challenge us and change us all through the week as well when we are “at church”.
