The ancient church in Colossae was in a culture that was constantly changing. A world where every people were wooed and swayed by every new philosophical and idea and every new movement. A world a lot like our world. With every new idea, hashtag, or personality that arises, our culture is changing very quickly.
Never has the Church been more at risk of enticed to let go of it's beliefs and be seduced towards new ways thinking. Never has the church been more tempted to slide away from the convictions of Christianity and to succumb to thinking and behaving like the culture around it.
But in the book of Colossians we're charged to Hold Fast. To hold fast to Jesus and to the Gospel. To not be swayed. To not be moved. To not be carried off by the winds and waves of every new idea, but to instead be more deeply convicted by the truth of Jesus--in our beliefs and our very lives. This is the Hold Fast series.
