Colossae was an ethnically and religiously diverse city in modern-day Turkey where Jews and Gentiles co-existed. But the believers there had found themselves floundering as they tried to navigate what following Jesus looks like in a pluralistic society. So Paul wrote to the young church to confront individualism and the falsehood that the world revolved around them. This wasn’t just an issue for the Colossians Christians . . . it’s an issue for us today.

Join Jay on a journey through Paul’s letter to the Colossians to explore the claim that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—and that Christian living revolves around Jesus.
