Colossians: Christ is All You Need - Leader Guide PDF Portfolio

The Letter to the Colossians is one of the most Christ-focused books in the New Testament. A false teaching that devalued Christ's centrality troubled the church at Colossae. Paul wrote to counter that false teaching by emphasizing Christ's supremacy and sufficiency. The apostle's clear message was that Christ has no equals and no rivals. In Him believers have all they need for salvation from beginning to end. The church today desperately needs the message of Colossians. More and more people reject the exclusive claims of the gospel and think of Jesus as one of many viable ways to God. This climate of religious syncretism-which undermines the centrality of Christ-entices Christians to dilute their faith by giving Jesus a place of prominence rather than preeminence, a place of significance rather than supremacy. This January Bible Study of Colossians will help adults grasp more firmly who Christ is, what He has done for them, and what it means to belong to Him.
