The Gospel: Bearing Fruit and Growing

Outline

1. A short message on a long sentence
2. A package of ideas
   • • We pray for you with thanks...
     • Because the gospel - the message of Jesus - has changed  your lives...
     • Because you welcomed it when it came to you...
     • Because the message is spreading throughout the world
   • The message of Jesus has been spreading around the world
   • That message came to the city of Colossae, in Asia (today's western Turkey)
