Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like
Christ. This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's
purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan.
The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness
through a life-changing encounter with God's Word. You'll benefit in these important
ways:
You'll gain a firm understanding of the book: its historical context, purpose, structure and
meaning;
You'll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working
through; and
You'll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own so you can
keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.
Colossians and Philemon
Two Crises in Colosse send visitors to Paul in prison. First, an old friend brings news that false
teachers are belittling Christ, laying down rules, and boasting of secret knowledge beyond the
gospel. Then, a runaway slave begs Paul to ask his Christian master for mercy. The letters Paul
writes to handle these dilemmas, his words exalting Christ and affirming a truly Christian
lifestyle remain foundational for understanding Christ and His work in us.
