• Always Only Jesus
Before theology must come kneeology! Praying is one of the most basic activities of anyone’s spiritual life. Before Paul got into the nittygritty of the great theological heart of this letter (the supremacy of Christ), he prayed for the believers in Colosse. What he prayed for is a good template for us in praying for other Christians. It’s eyeopening to discover the items that are on his list. (Spoiler alert: He didn’t pray for their health, finances, or relationships—though there’s nothing wrong with that.) Paul’s prayer requests were more basic, more to the heart of core issues.
This teaching is from the series Always Only Jesus with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.
