Please pray for understanding and answer the following questions.
- What does verse 10 tell us about the location Paul and Aristarchus? (See Colossians 4:3)
- How does question #1 give added strength and emphasis to the following verses? Col. 1:24, Col. 2:6, Col. 3:1.
- Read Galatians 2:11-13. There was a faction of the Christian church called ”the circumcision” that held to a stricter observance of the Mosaic law. What can we glean from verse 11 about Paul’s interaction with those in this group and his opinion of them?
- What can you deduce from verses 15-16 about the relationship between local fellowships in the time of Paul? How does this differ from today and why?
- Why do you think in Archippus needed to be reminded (in verse 17) to pay attention to the ministry that he had received from God? Does this hold application for you in your life?
