Colossians Chapter 2

Colossians Chapter 2 - This is the second of four weekly studies on the Book of Colossians.  In this chapter we read along as the Apostle Paul explains that Christians are in danger of being cheated by philosophy.  This is still true for Christians today where some mistakenly say that you need something besides, or in addition to, the Lord Jesus Christ.
