STIMULATE

** In our studies together throughout the first chapter of Paul's letter to the Colossians, we have enjoyed seeing the heart of the apostle poured out on their behalf (and ours as well). Paul has taught them; to be "Praying Always, to spend their life "Learning to Serve", how to form their prayer life so it will be "Pleasing the Lord". He taught them what it means to be "Living in the Kingdom" and how to be "Holy and Blameless" as they strive to present all men "Complete in Christ".

That first chapter was filled with very practical instruction and application from God's Word for the Colossian believers and for our own hearts. I hope that you were able to apply some of what we have learned to your own daily walk.

MOTIVATE

** As Paul now moves into what we call chapter two of his letter, we are going to benefit from seeing how he cares for the flock of God. Over the next month we will learn four specific aspects of how Christians are to care for one another. Paul will demonstrate for us how his own heart is;

LOVING THE FLOCK - Colossians 2:1-5
PROTECTING THE FLOCK - Colossians 2:6-10
REMINDING THE FLOCK - Colossians 2:11-15
STRENGTHENING THE FLOCK - Colossians 2:16-23

For today's study, please open your Bibles to Colossians 2:1-5 and let's read through that passage in preparation to learning how we too can be "Loving the Flock".
