In this study of Colossians 1, Paul opens his letter to the Colossians by revealing the supremacy and glory of Jesus. The lesson highlights Christ’s central role in creation, redemption, and the life of every believer, encouraging us to trust that Christ alone reconciles and sustains us.

Paul reminds believers in Philippians 3 and 4 that their true citizenship is in Heaven, calling them to live with their hearts fixed on Christ rather than on earthly distractions. He encourages us to focus on the good, to stand firm in the Lord, and to rejoice even in difficult circumstances.

Paul’s message in Philippians chapter 3 urges believers to place their confidence in Christ alone rather than in religious credentials or personal achievements. He describes how he once trusted in his heritage and strict obedience to the law, but now counts it all as loss compared to knowing Christ.

This lesson highlights Paul’s call in Philippians chapter 2 to “shine as lights in the world.” Lifting up Timothy and Epaphroditus as examples of faithful service, it explores how we too can reflect Christ by trusting in Him, allowing God’s Spirit to work in and through us.
