Have you ever stood in great need of comfort and encouragement? If so, you know that in time of affliction, there is no thought or word that has deeper meaning, nor any possession of greater value, than that of effective and genuine comfort. The objective of this study is to equip us to have the assurance that there is comfort available, and to know how to be comforted, as well as how to be a comfort to others in the fires of affliction.

Colossians Lesson 2
Covers Col 1:3-8 where there are eight principles in the Doctrine of the Gospel. It reveals the Father through His Son (Col 1:3-4; Heb 1:2). The Gospel transforms us (Rom 6:4).
Scripture References: Romans 6:4, Hebrews 1:2, Colossians 1:3-8
From Series: "Colossians - 2006"
Paul never met the Colossians but wrote to them from a Roman prison around 62 AD to counter misconceptions of his day. It magnifies the character of Jesus Christ more than any other book in the New Testament, and counters misconceptions of our day as well. The key verse may well be Col 1:18 "...that in all things, He might have preeminence."
