Last night, we had the first meeting of our ConnectGroup to begin our discussion of Colossians. We have 16 members in our group and 13 were able to attend last night. We talked about the first 14 verses of Chapter 1 and focused how we can do to please God. As Paul is praying for the church in Colossae, he is praying for us as well. "We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you." As only Paul can do, he has packed a year's worth of study into 4 verses (9-12). This week, we will be focusing on doing good works, knowing God more, enduring with patience and being thankful. That should cover it. I wonder what next week will bring.
