Colossians 4:7-15 NKJV

[7] Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. [8] I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, [9] with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here. [10] Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), [11] and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me. [12] 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. [13] For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. [14] Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you. [15] Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that is in his house.

Paul is widely known as the largest single contributor to the writings of the New Testament, but something that often gets overlooked is the support system he had around him. All of his letters were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The messages made their way to their respective churches by way of this network.

Everything in this world encourages self-sufficiency. If you want it done, do it yourself. Get out and earn it. It's important to remember that the church isn't built by the work of one individual. God knits together a network of His people for us to lean on, grow with, and work alongside to accomplish His will.
