Encouraged in Heart, United in Love

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

This week we continue in our study of Paul's letter to the Colossians, looking at Colossians 2:1-5. Paul shares his heart for the Colossians and encourages them that all the wisdom and knowledge that they need is in Christ.
