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.

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." This is the marvel: that the sinless Son of God would take upon himself the wrath that you and I deserve and credit to us his righteousness in order that we might stand before the throne of God justified forever. May this resource help remind your community of the immeasurable riches of grace which they have freely received through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The world will try to tell you who you are. The problem is that every identity we could possibly affix to ourselves fails to speak to our true nature as followers of Jesus. In Christ, we find our true identity. He offers us our purpose, significance and meaning. He created us and is the only one who knows us inside and out. This 6-week series will help your congregation discover that they are loved by Jesus and that He calls them to a full life.
