One of the main ways we grow into the image of Jesus is to listen, meditate, and live out what He says in Scripture. To help us with that, for this series, we’re offering resources to help you further study the passage from Sunday.
This Sunday, we covered Colossians 1:1-13. Below you can find related videos, podcasts, and articles to learn more. And maybe every now and then, we’ll throw in a funny video to keep you on your toes.
