How does Paul describe the good news about Jesus in this text?


What is it about the good news about Jesus that is so incredibly exciting to Paul?


Describe Paul’s relationship with God based on this text.


What needs to change in your life for you to exhibit this kind of enthusiasm about Jesus and his message?


What impact are Jesus and his message having upon the Colossian people?


How is this good news able to impact these folks so deeply?


What impact are Jesus and his message having upon your everyday life?


How would it feel to be part of a community so sold-out to Jesus and his ways?


What steps could you take to be more open to surrendering to his good news?


Memorize verse 5 tonight and spend an hour meditating on this verse this week.
