Complete in Christ to Serve Christ as a Team

The book of Colossians begins by teaching us who we are in Christ, and the book ends by showing us how to live in Christ.  Paul makes it clear that while we are saved individually, we are saved to serve Christ corporately alongside other believers.  Paul was an excellent example of all that he preached, especially team ministry.  Paul believed so strongly in team ministry, that he brought a small “church” with him everywhere he went.  These coworkers were so important to Paul that he devoted almost one fourth of this letter to highlighting them and commending them.  What we’ll learn from this passage is that every Christian is to serve Christ in team ministry.
