Pleasing God
In the first of a new series, the Very Rev Dr Martin Fair considers the message of the letter to the Colossians.

THE Letter to the Colossians is a New Testament classic!
And as with others of the epistles, it offers us both:
• theological insight – look no further than 1:15-20 for THE most momentous description of the Universal Christ
• practical guidance – for the living of the Christian life.
Of course the two belong together.
The practice flows out of the belief. Nevertheless, in this series we’re going to focus on the practical and in particular on what we find in Colossians chapter 3. As we go through it, our foundational principle will be that we are to ‘live lives worthy of the Lord and pleasing to Him in every way.’ (1:10)
