Prayer for Dummies (1 of 7)
Series: Guardians of the Galaxy

Colossians 1
Introduction
1. We are beginning a series through a letter that a man named Paul wrote to a church he had never seen called ‘‘Colossians.’’ Before your eyes glaze over, let me tell you why I am excited about this series and you should be too.

When you turn on a light in your room or a radio, you probably don’t think about Thomas Edison at all. What about upholding the Constitution? You probably don’t think about James Madison at all.
3. There was one man that bucked this trend. His is Jesus. His impact was greater a hundred years after he died than it was when he was alive. It was even greater five hundred years later. One-thousand years later, his teachings, life and influence formed the foundation for what is called today ‘‘Europe.’’ After two-thousand years, he has more followers in more places around the world than ever before.
