The conclusion to the study of Colossians.

Many times when individual study New Testament epistles they skip the introduction and conclusion “since they are not as important.”  But there are many wonderful nuggets of truth in both the epistolary introductions and conclusions.

There are 12 individual names plus three groups listed in the conclusion of Paul’s letter to the Colossians. What can we learn from them?

1. Do you need friends?
2. How do you pick your friends?
3. What character traits do you value in a friend?
4. What characteristics should you seek to develop?
5. What characteristics do you inspire (spur) in your friends?
