Paul's Prison Letters - Colossians 2.6-23 - Jesus is All We Need (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Colossians 2.6-23, Paul writes to make clear that Jesus Christ is all one needs for the fullness of humanity as God created us to have. It is quite a revolutionary line of reasoning, undermining human religion and traditions. And just what are those "elemental spiritual forces of the world," anyway?

Paul's Prison Letters - Colossians 1.15-23 - Jesus is All We Need (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Colossians 1.15-23, Paul writes about the Son of God. Who is he? How does he compare with other leaders, other beings, other powers? Is Jesus really trustworthy? Is he enough? We discuss the essential difference between trusting and following Jesus and human religion. (Note that there is no message specifically covering Colossians 1.1-14 because of extensive similarity to Paul's message in the first chapter of Ephesians. See the message on that passage for more explanation of these concepts.)
