"When I find myself forgetting the gospel, my friend Steve Huber often reminds me of God's grace in Jesus. Allow him to do the same for you as he guides you through the book of Colossians. This rich and rewarding study will strengthen your faith and deepen your love for Christ."Bob Thune, Founding and Lead Pastor, Coram Deo Church, Omaha, NE; author of Gospel Eldership; coauthor of The Gospel-Centered Life; creator of The Daily Liturgy Podcast"At some point in life, we all wrestle with soul-level questions: Why am I hurting? Where is my hope when hope seems lost? What do I do with my anger? How do I love hard people? Can I be sure that God loves me? In this study, Steve Huber deals with these questions from the most solid possible foundation—God's Word. Writing with both down-to-earth frankness and scholarly insight, Huber shows how Paul's letter to the Colossians addresses these longings with clear and reliable good news."Hunter Beaumont, Lead Pastor, Fellowship Denver Church; board member, Acts 29"I have watched the themes in Paul's letter to the Colossians play out in Steve's life for years. This study not only demonstrates Steve's love for Jesus and his ability to teach the Word accurately and faithfully, but it demonstrates Steve's knack for helping others do the same. I am looking forward to leading a small group through these lessons, which strike a great balance between reading, reflection, and discussion."J. Freeman, Senior Pastor, Christ Church; founder, The Brainerd Institute for Rural Ministry"We are all tempted to compartmentalize Jesus to small slivers of life and to forget the greatness of God's grace. This study guide is an invitation to look again with awe on the fullness of Jesus. I'm confident that this tool will help us walk in Jesus, deepen our roots, live by faith, and grow in thanksgiving."Josh Kouri, Lead Pastor, Frontline Church"This potent group study on Paul's letter to the Colossian is a great gift, offering real substance and wisely engineered application aimed at developing wholehearted leaders with strength, depth, and integrity. The book is eminently accessible and simultaneously informative and integrated, inviting growth and engagement from people across varied levels of Christian maturity. I wish more people had tools like this in their hands."Kevin Cawley, Pastor and Executive Director of Leadership Development and Church Planting, Frontline Church"In a sea of Bible study and small group curriculums, this one stands out. It's not just rich in content but also remarkably accessible in application. Colossians: Becoming Who You Are in Christ doesn't just present the Scriptures, it sets the stage for a group to truly encounter the truth and the transformative power of its message. As one who has led many group studies throughout the years, it is an incredible gift to have help in leading others to experience the depth available to them in the Bible. We need more of Jesus in our lives, in the church, and in our culture. This is a study that can help us move in that direction."Tim Doering. Founder and President, Netzer"The apostle Paul toiled with all the energy given to him by Christ in proclamation, loving admonishment, and teaching so that everyone would be presented mature. In this wonderfully helpful study guide, Steve is standing on the shoulders of Paul with a clear desire to do the same and to help others serve their churches in the same way. The helpful combination of insightful articles, exercises, and guided study time make this a robust and impactful study of the wonderful letter to the Colossians. I look forward to taking my church through it."Steve Robinson, Senior Pastor, Cornerstone Church Liverpool, UK; director, Cornerstone Collective"Steve Huber's deep love for Jesus and his desire to help us love Jesus more is evident throughout this study guide. In a world filled with subtle voices from both religious and secular camps, tempting us to find life and identity in something other than Christ, the central message of Colossians is critical: 'Jesus is sufficient, because He is preeminent!' Steve's study invites us to embrace this truth and live out our identity in Christ with clarity and confidence."Johan Verster, Pastor, Ligpunt, South Africa
