Colossians and Philemon
That in Everything Christ Might be Preeminent

Colossians and Philemon: That In All Things Christ Preeminent
By Sarah Ivill

Like the church at Colossae, we often are presented with false teachings that challenge Christ’s supremacy and sufficiency, trying to deceive us into thinking wisdom and knowledge can be found apart from Christ. That’s simply not true. Jesus is enough.

Join Bible scholar and teacher, Sarah Ivill, as she guides readers with purposeful questions and rich commentary to dig deeply into these two closely related “prison epistles” the apostle Paul wrote to believers in Colossae, one to the congregation and one to a prominent member—the first a challenge to remain firmly grounded in the hope of the gospel, and the second to live it.

This is the 2025 Women’s Ministry Summer Bible Study.
