M.O.I. – Christian Concern
C.I.T. – Paul wanted the Colossians that he was concerned for them and was sending other Christians to help them.
Thesis – Christians today need to be concerned about other Christians in the world that they have never met, but nevertheless are brothers and sisters in Christ.
Proposition – I want to teach the church that we must move beyond our walls and be concerned for Christians all around the world.
Probing Question – What does this passage teach us about concern for other Christians?
Unifying Word – Concerns
Transitional Sentence – Normally people are caught up in all their own needs and dramas in life that they do not think much about what others are experiencing.
As Christians we must be above that and have true concern for other Christians.
In this passage Paul teaches us how.
