The Pen of the Pastor - Week 7

Episode 7:
PBS episode 7: Paul never visited Colossae (2:1). The church there was founded by a Colossian named Epaphras, apparently in the wake of Paul’s ministry in Ephesus (d. 53–55). Five to seven years later, the founder of the Colossian church joined Paul in prison at Rome (Col. 4:12, 13; cf. Acts 28) to tell the apostle of a strange teaching threatening the health of his home church and to remain with Paul to pray for the churches of the Lycus Valley.
The young Church was under external pressure to conform ‘to the beliefs and practices of their pagan and Jewish neighbours’.
