PRAYING ALWAYS   Colossians 1:1-4             Print this Bible Study

STIMULATE

** Today marks a marvelous beginning for us as we start our study together in the book of Colossians. As the apostle Paul penned this letter he addressed critical issues of the day for the life of the Colossians, but those same issues speak to our hearts today. We are going to be blessed as we learn together all that can be gained from the apostle's teaching. Over the next six weeks, here in chapter one, Paul will instruct us in the areas of:

PRAYING ALWAYS - Colossians 1:1-4
LEARNING TO SERVE - Colossians 1:5-8
PLEASING THE LORD - Colossians 1:9-12
IN HIS KINGDOM - Colossians 1:13-18
HOLY AND BLAMELESS - Colossians 1:19-23
COMPLETE IN CHRIST - Colossians 1:24-29

MOTIVATE

** For today; what is our strongest weapon or tool, which properly used will bring about the spiritual growth, obedience and commitment of our fellow Christians to the Lord Jesus Christ?

It is prayer! cf. Colossians 1:3, where Paul said he was "praying always for you"!

** We will be getting just an introductory look into the heart of Paul as we study the first four verses of chapter one, but in so doing we will also learn the importance of forming the practice to live out our mutual Christian lives by "Praying Always". Please open your Bibles to Colossians, chapter one as we turn our hearts to the instruction of God's Word.
