Colossians 3:12-17 - I will be like Jesus

Colossians 3:5-11 - New You, New Look

You've been given a new life in Jesus. So now you need a new look to go along with it. Not the old look of living in anger, lust, restlessness for stuff you don't have - but a new peace in your heart and peace with other people that comes from knowing how much God loves you and accepts you through Jesus. The end result? A new life, with a new look, that ends up looking like Jesus himself - a whole new way of being human.

Colossians 2:16-23 - Free In Jesus

In Jesus, we are totally secure. In Jesus, we are radically free. Those two ideas form the pillars of Paul's argument in Colossians 2:16-23. So then when someone tries to tell us otherwise ("no, you have to eat these certain foods..." or "you have to say these certain kinds of prayers"), we will know to ignore them and shrug it off. The ultimate result? A community of people who are the most secure, in themselves, and the most non-judgmental of others, in matters of freedom, than you'll find anywhere else on this planet - because of Jesus.

Colossians 2:6-15 - Do I Know How Much I Have In Jesus?

In this text, Paul gives two commands: walk in Jesus, and watch out for false teaching. As motivation for both of these, Paul invites his readers to ask a question: do we know how much we have already been given in Jesus? Defeating evil powers, giving us new life, inviting us in to a whole new family, wiping away, forever (!), every sin we've ever done...this text is like a rich gospel buffet from which we'll leave filling stuffed: overflowing with gratitude and awe for all that God has done for us in Jesus. So let's sit down and feast.

Colossians 1:24-29 - Don’t Quit Church

Church is a place of suffering, service, and toil. Paul doesn't downplay this reality. In Colossians 1:24-29, he leans into it, describing clearly the cost of his commitment to the church of Jesus. But he also shows us the glory. If you're a person who's getting burned out on church, or even considering giving up church altogether due to discouragement, or hurt, or whatever - this is the passage for you. Because in this passage we see the motivation to stay committed to church even when it's hard. Not because the church is so great, but because Jesus is, and he's the one who suffers, and serves, and toils for us.
