At the start of his letter to the Christians at Colossae, Paul commends them for their faith in Jesus, which is bearing good fruit. He prays that they may continue to build up a community of love and mutual encouragement where everyone’s needs are met.

Encouraging words are so important for ensuring people have the confidence to do the things that are asked of them. Today, we will consider some of the encouraging words Paul said to the church in Colossae and how they may also encourage us today.
