Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Colossians 1:13

While imprisoned in Rome, Paul warns believers to remain vigilant against false teaching by beautifully expounding on the cosmic Person of Christ. Jesus is “the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent” (Colossians 1:18).

In this reading plan, we will look at how meditating on God’s word, serving the needs of others, and intercessory prayer play a role in helping you and me remain rooted in Christ.
