Lest you have overlooked these three verses, you just don’t want to do that. God
has something for us in these verses. I started off in Colossians and thought I would move
quickly through this book. I had preached on it several years ago and it’s taken me longer
to get through this time than it did last time. There is always something good for us in

or a surprising conclusion to the end of the story.

and deacon, was along with the kids on the trip where Anthony George, one of our own
boys is pastor. He shared a testimony and told about visiting a young high school person
several years ago and going many, many times and couldn’t get him to come. Then,
finally the young high school guy started coming, just like some of you have started
coming recently. He continued witnessing to him and led him to know the Lord as His
Savior. Then, he told them the rest of the story. He told them that that young high school
boy was now their pastor, Anthony George. It was an unexpected conclusion for the
members of Aloma Baptist Church.
