The letter of Colossians takes us to the heights of Christ's glory and then applies the implications of His divine identity to the practical outworking of our faith in everyday life. In the very heart of the letter, Paul exhorts us that "as we have received Christ, so we are to walk in him, rooted, built up, and established in our faith." May this resource empower your community to live out their faith each new day as they continue to "set their minds on things above," and "put to death" the things of this world.
