“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” — Colossians 3:16.

In this study of the book of Colossians we’ll be led through a practice of preaching gospel truth to ourselves by studying Paul’s example. In every changing season of life, we can rest in God’s character, rehearse our identity in Christ, respond in faith, and remember God’s provision for us. In today’s culture, there’s no shortage of self help, easy fixes, and worldly advice, but only the truth of God’s Word was meant to fill you up and satisfy you fully.

Kingdom Authority

In this Bible study, Dr. Tony Evans will show you how to anchor your life in God’s kingdom authority. The God of the Bible is the Creator and Ruler of all that exists. His authority is absolute, and yet He has given Christians His authority to exercise dominion over the world He made. In Christ, God has called you to place every aspect of your life under the delegated authority you’ve received from Him. If you’re going through life and finding that your mood and manner are tossed to and fro by the waves of circumstance, something may be out of sync. Now more than ever, you need to look to heaven’s solutions for your earthly problems.
