A Needed Word—Colossians—Josiah Kagin

Grace Baptist Church Audio Podcast

As the churches of the first century were planted from Jerusalem to the uttermost parts of the world, commons challenges of persecution and heresy quickly developed. Satan does not plant, he seeks pluck up and plunder. The church at Colosse was planted by a faithful minister of Christ, Epaphras (1:17). Paul had received report about this church while confined in prison. There was much to rejoice about, however there was a heretical teaching that was threatening the church. This heresy centered around the sufficiency of Christ. It was not a denial of Christ, but a demoting of Christ. Paul’s heart was moved and so he wrote a needed epistle to help strengthen this church in the truth so they might do the will of God in Colossae.
