Why Be Pro-Church, Colossians 1:24–2:5

As Pastor Cole takes us through Colossians, we come to a “pro-church” passage, where Paul commends the Colossians for things they did well, even as he anticipates greater maturity for them. While churches have many flaws and faults, from this passage we’ll consider three reasons why to be pro-church: because it is the fellowship of the shared sufferings of Christ, because the church is the fellowship of shared growth in Christ, and because the church is the fellowship of shared love for Christ.
