That’s What Friends Are For
Friendships help your physical, mental, and emotional health. I’m going to quickly share what the Mayo Clinic found about having friends. We will look at several verses in the wisdom books about friends. And then we will see who some of Paul’s friends were as he closed out the letter to the church in Colossae.

Seasoned with Salt
After Paul asked the Colossians to pray for him to have opportunities to share the Gospel, he gave clear instructions to the believers on how they should act and speak with unbelievers. These principles are for us today as well. Believers lives should be attractive in action and in our speech to draw people to desire a relationship with God.

Powerful Prayer
Prayer is powerful and the Apostle Paul specifically asked believers to be persistent in prayer for him and those in ministry. He called them to be watchful or alert in prayer. This includes the idea of praying specifically and not in vague terms like “God bless the missionaries”. Below are lists to guide your prayers for our missionaries and our pastor and church leaders.

Family Matters
Family matters to God. Children obey your parents in the Lord. Fathers do not discourage or exasperate your children – instead disciple and teach them in the Lord.

Love & Respect
In Colossians 3:18-19, God instructs the husband to love his wife and the wife to submit to and respect her husband. This is a command and it is regardless of how they each feel at the moment. Why does God need to make these commands? Because they are not our natural responses to conflict and they are the very things that we long for the most: Love and Respect.
