Colossians is one of the Epistles Paul wrote during his
imprisonment in Rome around A.D. 60 – 62. Other Epistles he wrote during his
imprisonment are Ephesians, Philippians, and Philemon. To understand the
letter, it is important to relate it to its historical setting. Paul wrote the
letter to deal with a doctrinal heresy that was creeping into the Colossian
Church. While the doctrinal heresy is not stated explicitly in the letter, it
can be deduced through inferences from Paul’s responses.
During our study of this Epistle, we will discover what the
doctrinal heresy was at the Colossian church. Paul refutes these false
doctrines by pointing to Christ. Of course, all along Jesus had been the focus
of Paul’s preaching. However, in Colossians, Paul reiterates this central
theme: the Supremacy of Christ. He asserts that it was because Jesus is divine
that His death reconciles Believers to their Creator (Ref. Col. 1: 15 – 17). He
asserts in Colossians that Believers are complete in Christ.
Join us in our study as we discover the doctrinal heresy
that invaded the Colossian Church, how Paul refuted them, what he teaches in
asserting the supremacy of Christ, and what it means for Believers to be
complete in Christ. During our study, we will also examine the similarities and
differences between Colossians and Ephesians.
