Van die vroegste tye af, word God se kinders gewaarsku teen vals leraars. Ook in Paulus se tyd was daar oënskynlik vals leraars in die Kolossense-gemeente. Daarom het Paulus aan die gemeente geskryf om die waarheid omtrent Jesus Christus te bevestig sodat hulle enige misleiding sou kon herken.
In Kolossense – ’n Bybelstudie ondersoek Riekert Botha die identiteit van Christus in ’n vers-vir-vers bespreking van hierdie Bybelboek. Die 10 studies gee agtergrond oor Paulus se verhouding met die gemeente, asook die redes vir sy brief aan hulle. Elke hoofstuk eindig met vrae en aan die einde van die Bybelstudie is daar ’n diagram om meer as 25 eienskappe van Jesus wat in die brief voorkom, in te vul. Daar is ook ’n blokkiesraaisel met die name van die persone wat in die brief genoem word. Hierdie Bybelstudie is vir groepe of individue.
Riekert and Pippa entered the full-time ministry in 1991, shortly after their wedding. For the first five years they were attached to the Logos Baptist Church in Bellville, after which they worked as missionaries in Ukraine for 5 years. Back in South Africa, they accepted an appeal to the Vredendal Baptist Church - and this is where most of us got to know them. Riekert gained notoriety through his regular program 'Pleisters vir die Siel' on RSG with Derrich Gardner. Since 2012, Riekert has been traveling the country full time to present his popular seminars at churches and schools where he is asked.
Riekert's style is informal and practical. He has the ability to expose deep spiritual truths in a simple way so that everyone can understand. Feel free to listen to his online messages or watch short video clips on his YouTube channel.
