Colossians! Pioneer Day!!!! =)

Read pp. 423-424 in your textbook. Answer the following questions and post to your blog:

b. Who was Epaphras?
-a minister who started the church
c. What's heresy? What kind of heresy is Paul talking about?

d. What's Paul's "Main Point"?
-"Just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him....Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense" (Colossians 2:6-8)
e. Where is Colosse?
-modern day Turkey

e. Who was Jupiter? Mithra? Local spirits? How does this fit into Colossians?

f. Each person in your group should read Colossians 3, and post a 1-paragraph summary about this book to your blog.



Colossians 3 tells us that as Christians we should live heavenly lives. God can't stand when we live our lives in sin. He can't stand when we go around and and sleep with anyone we can find. God wants his children to know that HE is the only thing that matters. Not who you're with or what you want to do. What matter is God!!! What matters is the fact that God loves everyone more than any of us could ever possibly imagine! God wants us to speak words to other people that we would speak to him. Love God! He loves you!!!

Read "The Race of Our Lives" on page 421. Write a 1 paragraph summary about this passage and post it to your blog. What stuck out to you? Why is this verse so important to us as believers?

Paul relates Christianity to running a race. people believe that they have arrived but paul believes otherwise. he says that you are never completely perfect so therefore t=you have not arrived yet. Instead of wanting to earn a crown of celery, he chooses to strive to win the prize of eternal life. paul tells us to never give up because you have not arrived at the goal yet. the goal is heaven and we need to keep running until we get there.
