Paul didn\u2019t start the church at Colosse or visit there. Paul wrote this letter to encourage the Believers living there.&amp;nbsp; They were growing in their faith, and he wanted to cheer them up.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  The book of Colossians is meant to encourage us as we grow.&amp;nbsp; Growth can hurt.&amp;nbsp; Did you ever have \u201cgrowing pains\u201d as a child?&amp;nbsp; Your mom most likely rubbed your legs and gave you some extra TLC before sending you back to bed with this admonishment, \u201cyou\u2019ll be fine; go to sleep!\u201d \u263a The church at Colosse was experiencing growing pains.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; \u201cIt is not until a man finds his faith opposed and attacked that he really begins to think out the implications of that faith.&amp;nbsp; It is not until the Church is confronted with some dangerous heresy that she begins to realize the riches and the wonder of orthodoxy.\u201d -William Barclay &amp;nbsp; We hope you\u2019ll grab a pen and your Bible and study Colossians with us!
