Jesus Only: Part OneSample

Week 1, Day 2 - Monday

For the next ten weeks, we’ll be doing an in-depth study of the book of Colossians. In order to set the framework for the study, today, we’re going to do a simple overview of the book as a whole. 

What is the book of Colossians? 

Colossians is a letter that Paul wrote (while in jail) to the believers in the Roman city of Colossae.

Where is Colossae?

The ancient city of Colossae was situated in modern-day Turkey. (It’s possible that your Bible has a map at the back showing its location. Check it out!)

What is the book about?

There are several themes in the book, but overall, Paul wrote to address a worldview that had crept into the church that wasn’t Biblical.
