Studies in Colossians

Since my retirement in December 2013, I have been involved in leading a Tuesday morning men’s Bible Study at; West Cannon Baptist Church in Belmont, Michigan USA.

In September 2021, we began a study of the Epistle to the Colossians. What I am making available here are my notes for those studies. I have not done any editing to put these in more of a publishable or academic style form, but make them available “as is”, typos and all.

For His glory,
