LIVING LIFE TO ITS FULLEST
A STUDY IN COLOSSIANS

SERMON #16 NEW ADVICE
COLOSSIANS 4:2-6

So many people are looking for a way to get the very most out of
life.
They want to live life to the fullest possible extent.

The book of Colossians gives us the marvelous secret to living
life to

we are "in
Christ" the life of Christ becomes our life.
*Don't you wish the world could comprehend this truth?
*The only way to have a full and meaningful life is through
Jesus Christ.

advice or instructions to the Christians in Colossae and
Laodicia.

You will remember, Paul is in prison as he writes this letter to
the
church in Colossae. And it is from his Roman imprisonment that
Paul
exhorts these believers in some very critical, last minute
advice.

Col 4:4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.
Col 4:5 B ...
