If you’re going through a tough time and need something to lean on outside  yourself… if you have difficulty understanding how God can be Father, Son and Holy Spirit–all three and still just “one”… if you cannot fathom how Jesus was both God and man at the same time…

…then an in-depth study of the book of Colossians may be just what the doctor ordered.

    Beginning September 7th, Word Within International will offer a new Easy-to-Learn Inductive Bible study on Paul’s letter to the believers in Colossae.  Class will meet every Tuesday night from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in Room 2821, Asbury United Methodist Church.  This 10-week study ending November 9th examines God’s plan for making every believer complete in Christ.

    Too many Christians today have strong faith yet find themselves lacking in something.  That something is often simply the knowledge of God’s will for their lives.  Paul prayed for this knowledge for the faithful believers in Colossae in order that they might live a life worthy of the devotion God had showered on them.  Near the end of his own ministry, Paul wants to be sure they fully comprehend the supremacy and suffficiency of Christ, and what it means in their life.

    This book study challenges Christians to a higher standard.  Living the life God intends is not the easiest route to take but certainly it’s the most rewarding.  There are many along the way who would teach  things that are not entirely true, but Paul has prayed for you too, that you would be filled with the knowledge of God and be protected from the deluding influences of these fine-sounding arguments.
