Background:
Supremacy and Sufficiency of Christ
Paul - apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God
Colossians -
God’s Holy People

He opens with how he prays and thanks God for them.
His prayer is centered on the True Gospel and its effects on them.
Today’s message is titled, “What are we known for?”
e.g.
people who don’t know you ask someone, what are they like?
e.g.
funerals
How do you want to be remembered?
What are you known for now?
As we read, remember that Paul had never been to Colossae.
He only knew two people there: Epaphras and Philemon, and when writing this letter, Epaphras was visiting with Paul in Rome.
So he was writing to people who were personally unknown to him.
Yet, he had heard about them.
They were known to him and others not from that area.
Why?
What were they known for?
Think of that while we read the passage, and then we will dig into it a little deeper.
Thank God Because God is the One who draws and saves
Prays to God, not to angels/powers/authorities
Jesus taught us to pray to the Father, and in John 14, and John 16 taught his disciples that they were to ask the Father, who would give them what they ask.
Father of the Lord Jesus Christ - truth to refute the error of gnosticism

You just gotta believe!?!
Object of faith is what is important.
Misplaced faith
‘en’ with locative - Faith anchored in Christ
