Paul, the persecutor of the church, became one if its greatest defenders. A study of his life brings encouragement to the Christian and clarity to those who have doubts. His life gives us an example of enduring faith through adversity. Paul had nothing to gain by preaching the gospel; that makes his life compelling evidence for the doubter. His writing focuses on Christ and His all-sufficiency for the faither; this is in stark contrast to the writing of James. VF-2323 Colossians 4:18

Every ministry needs the support of fellow laborers. Paul memorialized the names of some of those who helped him in his ministry; some stayed committed and faithful, and others eventually flaked out. It will take committed people willing to answer the call and step up to the plate for this ministry to carry out the vision for it. VF-2322 Colossians 4:7-18

Paul understood that he could not do the work of the ministry alone. In Colossians 4, he mentions the names of several fellow laborers who helped him to shoulder the load. God is still calling for fellow laborers today, and He's given us the opportunity of a lifetime to step up to the plate and respond to the call to spread the good news: the gospel of our salvation through Jesus Christ! VF-2321 Colossians 4:2-11

We pray to the Father through Christ, who opens the door to God for us as our High Priest. In the Old Testament, God appointed priests for men, but now the institution of the priesthood is done away with. We do not need a human to be our mediator because we have Christ. We have direct access to God through grace. God wants us to take our prayers boldly to His throne and come to Him with prayers from the heart. VF-2319 Colossians 4:2

Christ taught us to address God as our Father when we pray. Through Christ, we have a new relationship with God; we have the kind of access that comes from being His children, partakers in the Sonship of Christ. We are instructed to ask, to seek, and to knock until He gives us what is in His will for us. Our prayers should be direct, sincere, and simple. VF-2318 Colossians 4:2

God's design for us to communicate with Him is in prayer. There are multiple dimensions of prayer as this message shows us, and the prayer that God's looking for is direct and from the heart. As we study the prayers of the patriarchs through the Pentateuch, we can see that their prayers reflected many dimensions, not just praying for themselves when they had a need. Looking at their prayers helps us to understand how God deals with us when we pray. VF-2317 Colossians 4:2
