This conference was held in the spring 2013 in Colorado. It complements the two previous Bible conferences held in Arkansas and Northern Virginia.
In addition to being styled "an apostle to the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13), Paul could also be called the apostle of the Mystery. This "mystery" contained new revelation intended for a new people—the Church—living in a new age or dispensation of God’s plan.
"now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, but now made manifest, and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith …" Rom 16:25–26

Taking the Enigma Out of Paul’s Mystery – Colorado 2013

Colossians Lesson 15

Colossians Lesson 15

Col 2:9-15 is the central passage in the Colossians epistle. Heresy provided false systems of spirituality by adding to the Gospel. We lack nothing in Jesus Christ. Col 2:13-15 Paul mentions 5 great works of God. Circumcision was a picture -- a foward looking sign -- of the results of faith (righteousness; removal of the flesh; Gen 17:1-27; Deu 19:12-16; Rom 2:25-29) in the Old Testament Rom 4:1-13. Baptism looks backward at our faith in Christ (Act 15:1-5; Rom 6:3-14).

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."
