40 Days Through the Book: Colossians - One Jesus, One People (Jay Kim)
Study of a book of the Bible: Colossians
Back in the first century the church was dealing a massive challenge that has never gone away...the problem of division. Throughout history, and in every part of the world, people can be divided because of ethnicity, gender, social class, religion, and a long list of other things. The world might be divided over these things, but Christians should not be. The apostle Paul asserts in Colossians that when Jesus is at the center of our hearts, lives, homes, churches, and community life, believers can say with bold confidence, “We are one people,” even when we have diverse backgrounds and differing views.
