So just how did this church come to be, and what was Paul’s relationship with it?

The Epistle to the Colossians is the twelfth book of the New Testament. It was written, according to the text, by Paul the Apostle and Timothy, and addressed to the church in Colossae, a small Phrygian city near Laodicea and approximately 100 miles from Ephesus in Asia Minor. Some scholars have increasingly questioned Paul's authorship and attributed the letter to an early follower instead, but others still defend it as authentic. If Paul was the author, he probably used an amanuensis, or secretary, in writing the letter possibly Timothy.

Lessons from the early church that will help us fulfill our mission as disciples of Jesus.

The book of Colossians is a Prison Epistle (letter written while in prison). Paul wrote it circa 60-62 A.D. The key personalities include Paul, Timothy, Tychicus, Onesimus, Aristarchus, Mark, and Epaphras. It was written to counter and respond to heretical teachings and encourage believers to serve with fervor and passion. The basic problem was a Judaic-Gnostic heresy that sought to mix Greek philosophy with Christian theology. Gnostic philosophy taught that matter was evil.

The reason for this writing was to hopefully give a fuller understanding of every major subject Apostle Paul mentioned in the book of Colossians by writing a short chapter on each subject. At times when Paul used a word, I would write a chapter on that particular word. Not that I am smarter than the listener, but perhaps placing what knowledge I have of the bible after sixty-eight years in the ministry which I consider to be the word of God, and that the only way to true faith is to believe what is written, and to help people see themselves as God sees them.

Many Bible scholars have concluded that "Colossians" is the most profound letter Paul ever wrote. This study contains eight hours of verse-by-verse teachings.

In the book of Colossians, Christ is unveiled to a fuller extent than in any other book in the Bible. Christ is unveiled as the all-inclusive one, having the first place in all things as the mystery and embodiment of God, as the head and constituent of the church, as the allotted portion, life, constituent, and hope of the saints, and as the body of all positive things. In addition to presenting such a Christ as the one person in God's economy, Colossians also presents the cross of Christ as the one way in God's government.

The book of Colossians begins with thanksgiving for God's work building up the faith of the Christians at Colossae and allowing the Gospel to bear fruit in their lives. The writer, Paul the Apostle, then expresses the hope that we have in Christ and the effect that this knowledge should have on us individually, as a church body and in our everyday relationships. Pastor Jarrod Cruise delivers this series of sermons on this epistle which contains both inspiring truths and practical instruction.

Prior to his death Paul confronted the question of Jesus’ place in the cosmos. He experienced Jesus as his source of grace and was challenged to reflect on his role in creation. Paul proclaimed that Jesus does not fit into the worldview of the Ephesians and Colossians: rather Jesus is the worldview.

The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years from around 1,400 BC through 90 AD. The Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew excluding the books written during the Chaldean captivity such as Daniel and Ezra which were written in Biblical Aramaic during the Chaldean captivity. Many of the Books of the Old Testament bear the names of the Prophets who authored them. Moses compiled the earlier parts of Genesis and directly authored the remaining portion.

Is our hope in the gospel of Christ sufficient for our every need? After reflecting on this question during periods of difficult earthly circumstances, Paul wrote two letters to the church at Colossae to express the hidden hope “laid up for you in heaven” (Colossians 1:5) and found in the person of Christ. In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Kevin W. McFadden focuses on the specific teachings of Paul to examine the theology and themes of Colossians and Philemon.
