About this message
The believers in Colossae were young in the faith, living in a city full of competing ideas and teachers promising secret wisdom, and Paul prays for them. Vitaliy Kravchenko walks through Colossians 1:9-14 to show that a life pleasing to the Lord grows, endures, and gives thanks. God strengthens His people by His own glorious might to persevere with patience and joy, and gratitude flows from knowing He has qualified, rescued, and forgiven them.
For anyone who is worn out from trying to hold it together.
