Epaphras

"Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.   for I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis." (Colossians 4:12; NKJV)

1.  Epaphras was a Colossian.

2.  Epaphras was a slave of Christ.

3.  Epaphras labored fervently for the Colossian Christians in prayers.

4.  Epaphras prayed that the Colossian Christians would stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

5.  Epaphras had a great zeal for all the Christians in the Lycus Valley (Colosse, Laodicea and Hierapolis).

Let us follow the example of Epaphras and labor fervently in prayers for one another and for other Christians in our area!
