Final Instructions: Gracious Conversations (Colossians 4:6)

Jeff McLain

On July 31, Jeff McLain brought our series, Final Instructions, to a close by looking at Colossians 4:6, as we explored Pauls' encouragement and challenge to the the church to have gracious conversations. Throughout this series, Final Instructions, each week, we have explored Paul’s final instructions to the church in Colossae, looking at Paul's instructions on how to bring the church into a maturity of faith.

In a season of cultural earthquakes, Paul encourages the Colossian church towards maturity in Christ by learning to pray for the message and the messengers of the Kingdom. In the same way, Paul’s writing encourages us to pray that the rule and reign of God to break-in to the realities of our world. We are encouraged to pray that the obstacles of the messengers do not become a hinderance to the testimony of who Jesus is and what knowing Jesus brings. We must be a church that is dedicated to praying for the mission and messengers of God.

It is in Colossians 4:3-4, that Paul writes; "And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.”
