Book of Colossians Week 4 — Colossians 2:1-15

Book of Colossians Week 11 — Colossians 4:2-6

As Paul closes his letter, he reminds us that making an impact for Jesus is not primarily about better strategies or bigger programs, but about faithfully living a life marked by three simple disciplines: Pray for gospel opportunities and depend on God’s power. Watch for God’s activity around you and stay alert to spiritual distractions. Act wisely and step into the opportunities God provides. Questions to Consider What am I praying for right now? What distractions are keeping me spiritually asleep? What gospel opportunities might God be placing in front of me? Am I willing to step through the doors God opens?

Book of Colossians Week 10 — Colossians 3:18-21

What does it look like when Jesus becomes Lord of a home?  In a culture filled with competing ideas about marriage, parenting, and family, God's Word points us to something deeper than techniques or behavior management.  In Colossians 3:18-21, we'll see that a Christ-centered home is built when every member of the family joyfully submits their life under the lordship of Jesus.  Together we'll explore how the gospel transforms marriages, shapes the way we disciple our kids, and teaches us to reflect the grace of our heavenly Father.  Whether you're married, single, parenting young children, raising teenagers, a grandparent, or praying for adult children, this passage invites all of us to consider what happens when Christ becomes the center of our homes.

Book of Colossians Week 9 — Colossians 3:5-17

When our joy is rooted in comfort, adversity shakes us. But when our joy is rooted in Christ, even hardship becomes an opportunity for the greatness of Jesus to be put on display. Biblical joy is not temporary happiness based on circumstances. It is a deep and permeant awareness of God’s grace in Christ. And when that joy takes hold of our hearts, it naturally and supernaturally overflows into mission. Mission is not primarily about going or doing. It is about being a people so captivated by the beauty of Jesus and so satisfied in Him that His glory spills into every corner of life. As a result, we pray, give, and send. These are not duties we perform, but the overflow of a church whose joy is anchored in Christ and whose desire is to advance the gospel.

Book of Colossians Week 8 — Colossians 3:1-4

The resurrection of Jesus does not simply inspire believers. It redirects every part of life. Through our union with Christ, we have died with Him, been raised with Him, and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. In a world searching for identity in success, suffering, politics, or approval, the gospel reminds us that our truest identity is found in Christ alone. Paul calls believers to seek the things above and set their minds on Christ. Resurrection life reshapes not only what we believe, but what we pursue. And because Jesus rose from the dead, suffering, sin, and death will we have a future hope that is meant to redirect how we wait. One day, when Christ appears, His people will appear with Him in glory.

Book of Colossians Week 7 — Colossians 3:1-2

There are moments in life that redirect everything. A wedding. A move. A loss. A new beginning. But the Apostle Paul says the resurrection of Jesus was never meant to be a moment we celebrate once a year. It was meant to redirect everything about us. “If then you have been raised with Christ… set your minds on things above.” Colossians 3:1–2
