establish

I tell you this so that no one
may deceive you by fine-
sounding arguments
Col 2:4
The Crisis at Colossae
See to it that no one takes you
captive through hollow and
deceptive philosophy, which
depends on human tradition and
the elemental spiritual forces of
this world rather than on Christ

giving thanks (3-8)
We always thank God,
the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, when we pray for you

and of the love you have for all God’s
people— the faith and love that spring
from the hope stored up for you in
heaven and about which you have
already heard in the true message of
the gospel that has come to you
Paul encourages the church by
giving thanks (3-8)
"See how they love one another"
Tertullian (Apology [39.7]) in C3

you since the day you heard it and
truly understood God’s grace

giving thanks (3-8)
He thanks God for their
leader/teacher
You learned it from Epaphras,
our dear fellow servant,
who is a faithful minister of Christ
on our behalf

praying specifically
For this reason, since the
day we heard about you, we
have not stopped praying for
you

praying specifically
Pray for spiritual wisdom &
understanding
We continually ask God to fill you
with the knowledge of His will
through all the wisdom and
understanding
that the Spirit gives …

the knowledge of God
growing in the knowledge of God
Paul encourages the church by
praying specifically
Pray for Holy Spirit empowering
being strengthened with all power
according to his glorious might so
that you may have great
endurance and patience
Col 1:11
For he has rescued us from the
dominion of darkness and
brought us into the kingdom of
the Son he loves,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins
My goal is that they may be
encouraged in heart and united
in love, so that they may have
the full riches of complete
understanding, in order that they
may know the mystery of God,
namely, Christ
Paul’s aim is to encourage the
believers
