This 14-week series is a verse by verse look at the book of Colossians. In this book, the Apostle Paul teaches believers that Christ is all we need, and in Him we have found the fullness God gives His people. In an age that many – even in the Church – believe that we need something other than Jesus, this book is a great reminder that in Christ we have found the fullness of God, and having found Him, we need nothing else.
The work of the kingdom is not done by a few superstars, but through the Spirit-empowered efforts of a Christ-filled team comprised of all believers.
