Dear JMH,
Have you taught a class on Colossians? If so, could you provide those materials?
Yours, Matthew

I don’t have any prepared materials on Colossians. Sorry.

Just wanted to say thanks so much, Dr. Hicks, for a great site with such a wealth of info. This former student is very appreciative of your work.

The teaching materials are very rewarding to my studies and teaching. They reflect the authors hardwork, an indepth research and his sincere faith to make studies simple for God’s people.
Dr. Hicks God richly bless you.
George from Ghana.

Hey, John Mark. I’m about to start teaching a ladies’ class on the gospel of Mark (I picked this one because it is the shortest of the gospels so hopefully will fit into time frame better). Do you have any materials for this study or do you know where would be a good place to look? Thanks so much!

Stephanie, I don’t have any written materials on Mark, but I would recommend you look at Allen Black’s (of Harding Graduate School in Memphis) commentary on Mark in the College Press series for some popular-level help on the texts. Tom Olbricht’s “Power to Be” is a 13 week Bible Class study of the Gospel of Mark. Allen is the man I turn to get some good ideas and resources on Mark; you might want to check with him. I’m sure he has some resources to help.
