The Book of Colossians	
 Holy Living Through Jesus
Colossians was written to a church under siege, not by persecution, but by persuasion. 
False teachers were chipping away at the truth through empty rules, secret "wisdom," and a Diminshed view of Christ. This four-week study walks through Paul's letter to uncover his central answer: “Holy Living through Jesus”. 
Along the way, we'll unpack the five heresies Paul confronted, Legalism, Traditions, Angel Worship, Asceticism, and Counterfeit Knowledge (Gnosticism). 
At the same time we will  see Paul's genius on full display: he doesn't merely refute each error, he uses it as a springboard to present Christ and the message of holiness in fresh, profound ways. A study for anyone ready to live distinctly in a confused world.
