SCRIPTURE READING: Colossians 4:2-6
Essential Truths from Colossians
- Christ is the fullness of the Godhead and the one in whom the Christian is made complete.
- Christ is the fulfillment of ceremonial religion.
- Christ is the Head of the body...when He is, you can see it in homes, personal lives that are countercultural and in the workplace. When He isn’t, useless things are held too tightly in “spiritual life”

COMMIT TO NOW!
When we pray with watchfulness and thanksgiving…it reveals that we are COMMITTED TO GOD and His agenda!
When we realize we can’t fulfill the great commission alone, we COMMIT TO ONE ANOTHER with accountability and prayer.
When we point toward the outside…we set out to leave the building…when we endeavor, by God’s spirit and through His power to put into practice what we are being equipped to do: we are fulfilling our COMMITMENT TO THE WORLD!
