COLOSSIANS Question of Lordship

MESSAGES AT COLOSSAE (2:16-21) They say we must keep the powers that rule the world happy, since they govern our lives and our fate. They say do not handle. Do not taste. Do not touch. Eat nothing that is forbidden. They say we must strive to make ourselves pure, for only then can we call on the angels and expect them to listen. They say that certain times of year are more favorable than others for obtaining God’s favor. They say we need a higher spiritual experience. They say we must fast until we see visions, for only then will we reach spiritual fullness.

MESSAGES AT COLOSSAE Colossians 2: What messages are being given? (They say we must keep the powers that rule the world happy, since they govern our lives and our fate, etc.) What are the messages that keep telling you what you must to to lead the right kind of life? (e.g., They say we must keep the powers that rule the world happy, Since they govern our lives and our fate. Get into the right school and join the right clubs, be seen with the right people, and then you will arrive. Eat the right food and wear the right clothes, so that you achieve the right look, and then you will arrive. Shop in the right stores and live in the right place, invest at the right time, and then you will arrive.)

HYMN AT COLOSSAE Colossians 1:15-21 What are the main themes in this hymn? How might this hymn shape the Colossians lives differently than the other messages they are hearing? Is there a hymn that is especially important to you? What are the themes in your special hymn? Why is this hymn particularly helpful? How is the hymn’s message different from the other messages that you hear in daily life?
