Encounters with God: Colossians/Philemon

Intended as companions to the Blackaby Study Bible, these guides also stand alone as a complete study of a book of the Bible.

Encounters with God: Colossians/Philemon focuses strongly on Christ and His relationship to the church, placing great emphasis on the glory of Christ.  In this epistle, Paul offers an understanding of Christ's nature and His relationship to believers personally and to the church corporately.  Paul's letter addresses many aspects of the Christian life then and now: prayer and thanksgiving, legalism, reconciliation, service, behavior and attitudes, and relationships at home and at work.
