Paul's Ministry to the Church | Colossians | Session 4
Series: Colossians - Life Centred On Jesus | Week 4
Text: Colossians 1:24-2:5
This session explores Paul’s deeply personal reflections on the privilege and the price of his calling. He sees himself first as a servant, entrusted with a stewardship from God—to make the Word fully known, to reveal Christ to Gentiles, and to help believers grow toward maturity. Paul’s ministry wasn’t glamorous; it demanded suffering, perseverance, and emotional weight as he carried the concerns of young churches he’d never even met. Yet he speaks of these hardships with joy, because they draw him deeper into the life of Christ and remind him that God supplies the strength for what He asks of His people. The session closes with Paul’s pastoral prayer: that believers would be encouraged, united in love, grounded in Christ, and able to stand firm against teaching that sounds convincing but leads them away from Him.
