In this introductory sermon for a new series studying the book of Colossians, Pastor Joe Babij explains the background of the book and the apostle Paul’s original purpose in writing. Pastor Babij breaks down Paul’s original purpose into a three-fold intention:
1. Establish a rapport with the Colossian believers and express to them a pastoral concern for their spiritual health and wellbeing
2. Counteract the clever false teaching that had arisen in the church and that was now confusing believers
3. Warn the believers about a wrongheaded approach to Christian living that is the result of false teaching
