 * Colossians: The letter to the church in Colosse was the third letter written while Paul was in prison in Rome around 60 AD. This is unique because it is a church started by one of Paul’s co-workers.  The church was being influenced by false teachers that were trying to require strict rules on them.  Paul explains Jesus Christ’s position as LORD (Colossians 1:13-23), and explains that His followers are complete in Him.  He explains that believers must leave their sinful lives behind and live holy, godly lives.
