Colossians Ep.3

Summary:

Our sermon explored Colossians 1:9-14, focusing on how we are called to order our lives in a manner worthy of and pleasing to the Lord by following His will. We learned that this is not about earning God's favor, but about living out our new identity in Christ. We delved into the difference between God's sovereign will and His revealed will, where we saw that God calls us to focus on His revealed will in Scripture rather than trying to discern His hidden plans.

Takeaways:

- Walking worthy of the Lord means living in a way that befits those who belong to our Lord Jesus Christ, not striving for perfection but for faithfulness.

- God's revealed will, given to us in the Bible, is what we should order our lives around, not His secret, sovereign will that we cannot know.

- We have been given the Holy Spirit to empower us in following God's will, emphasizing our need for submission to and dependence on God rather than our own will and strength.
