We trust you will be blessed through this ministry.

Well, thank you again, uh, Johnny and the team.

Um, we appreciate, uh, how you have just led us into our studies this, uh, this week in the different mornings.

It has been a real joy to have this opportunity to unpack Colossians with you this week.

Thank you for all your engagement and all your encouragement.

Thank you for coming back each day as we've continued these studies.

And so now, uh, if you have your Bible, please turn with me to Colossians 4, and we're going to be looking at verse 2 to the end of the letter.

[laughs]

We trust you will be blessed through this ministry.

Uh, good morning, everyone.

It is great to be back together again for our fourth message through the Book of Colossians.

Thank you for all your encouragement along the way.

Thank you for coming out, uh, to study this book together.

It has been an encouragement to my own soul, and just been so encouraging to interact with you, many of you, to just hear how you've been hearing God speaking to you through this week.

So please do turn with me, uh, once again to Colossians 3.

We trust you will be blessed through this ministry.

Well, good morning everyone.

It is great to be back for our third message in the book of Colossians.

Thank you so much for your engagement with these messages so far this week.

Thank you for coming this morning and braving the rain to sit together and study God's Word.

If you have your Bible, please do turn with me to Colossians chapter 2.

We're going to be in the whole of chapter 2 this morning.

We trust you will be blessed through this ministry.

Good morning, everyone.

It is great to be back together for this second study in the book of Colossians.

And so if you have your Bible, can I invite you please to turn with me to Colossians chapter 1, and we're going to be reading from verses 15 to 29 this morning.

And as you turn there in your Bible or scroll there on your phone, let's just take a moment to still our hearts and I'll pray and ask for God's help.

Holy Spirit, breath of God, open our eyes now.

Help us see Christ.

Why do I say this?

We trust you will be blessed through this ministry.

Thank you very much, Johnny, for leading us.

It is such a joy to have the next five mornings with you to be able to work through this incredible book, Paul's letter to the Colossians.

So if you have your Bible, please do turn with me to Colossians chapter one, verse one.

And as you turn there, let me take a moment to pray and ask for the Lord's help and for his grace as we come to look at his word together.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to you to receive the food of your holy word.

Take your word, plant it deep in us.

Now in Acts chapter 19, we learn that the apostle Paul
