Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her study on the book of Colossians.

Being a Christian doesn't offer us a life without problems, but God promises us something even better,

his grace and strength to rise above our circumstances. The book of Colossians is truly a manual for understanding everything we have in Christ.

In this unique Bible study, Joyce will show us how Colossians is our guide to becoming more like him

and reflecting his love, joy, peace, and stability to the world around us.

Now here's Joyce with the study on the book of Colossians.

past. But faith has always got to be now. And in Romans 117 it says there's a righteousness

revealed in the Word of God that leads us from faith to faith to faith.

When you know who you are in Christ, you know how much God loves you,

then somehow by a miracle of the Holy Spirit,

you're able to believe things that just don't make any sense.

would be totally crazy.

Who could have ever started where I started

and actually believed that I might be doing what I'm doing today?

But I believed it.

And guess what?
