Colossians: Workbook/Commentary with 21st Century Application

When feelings and human philosophy push aside the truth, where do you stand? Paul's letter to the Colossians answers with one name: Jesus, Lord of all.

Colossians: Workbook/Commentary with 21st Century Application is a 12-lesson Bible study by Matthew Allen on Paul's letter to the Colossians. It works as both a class workbook and a commentary, and it applies the letter to Christian life today.

How This Study Helps

We live in what many call a post-Christian age. Christian ideals are forgotten or rejected, much of society takes its cues from human philosophy and tradition, and objective truth is often treated as offensive. Believers feel that pressure, and some begin to wonder what they can still be sure of.

Colossians was written for that kind of moment. Its central message is that Jesus is Lord. He is Creator, the source of truth, and the Judge who will stand at the end of time. In this study, Matthew Allen shows how your faith rests on Christ rather than on shifting human ideas, so you can stay rooted, built up in Him, and established in the faith.
