Today’s weekend edition is extracted from Dr. Plummer’s upcoming Adullam Media course on Colossians. See AdullamCourses.com for more information. Plummer discusses the nuances of the word ὑπηρέτης, which occurs 20 times in the GNT, and is usually translated as “servant,” “officer,” or “attendant.” As stated in the video, this comes after a class discussion of a sermon based on Colossians 1:24-2:5.
