The Personal Touch<\/a><\/p>\n

Colossians 2:1-5<\/strong> I want you to know how much I agonize for you and for the church at Laodicea, and for all that have not met me personally. I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so that no one will deceive you with well crafted arguments. For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.<\/p>\n

Paul’s agony over evangelism is ________________ believers.<\/p>\n

Galatians 1:6<\/strong> I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all.<\/p>\n

His purpose of encouraging is for ___________ ties of love. <\/p>\n

Galatians 5:14-15<\/strong> The entire Law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.<\/p>\n

His gift of confidence is ____________________ God’s plan.<\/p>\n

Philippians 3:7<\/strong> Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.<\/p>\n

His confidence over deception is ________________ of Christ.<\/p>\n

Philippians 3:8<\/strong> What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord for whose sake I have lost all things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
