Paul’s letter to the Colossians is extremely relevant for today. The church is still assaulted with heresies of all kinds: heresies that call into question the authority of Jesus Christ, the sufficiency of the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ, and the ever-present desire to ‘improve’ the gospel to make it attractive to the unbelieving world. Roger Ellsworth will guide you though Paul’s letter and show you how to apply its truths in your life. You will be challenged, instructed, and encouraged to ‘stay your course’ through the storms of modern life — all the while remaining faithful to the Christ of the Scriptures.

Roger Ellsworth is the pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, Benton, Illinois, USA.

'Roger Ellsworth, a prolific author, divides the four chapters of Colossians into 22 daily readings of about five or six pages. Each section ends with questions and thoughts for further reflection; the author suggests that readers keep a journal to record their answers.'
Review from The Gospel Magazine (September-October 2006)

'The writer clearly demonstrates the practical relevance of the Epistle to believers today, especially in the light of false doctrine. The strength of this book lies in the constant practical applications that are drawn from the apostle’s teaching. Nine of the daily readings are devoted to a consideration of Colossians chapter 1 and the author gives clear emphasis to the essential deity and glories of Christ. '
