An Established Community – Colossians
2:1-10
Part Three
Concluding Reflections
We face the same challenge of unconditional commitment. Science, technology, demographers, futurists
and other public policy and researchers claim to have the truth about the worth
of human life. Many Christians
lamentably compartmentalize their theology, politics, economics and
sociology. They do not strive for
intellectual coherence and personal integrity in all areas of their lives. As it relates to matters of faith, they
settle for fleeting feelings and heightened emotions to resolve any
inconsistencies. In so doing, they miss
the opportunity to delve more richly and deeply into their faith and see the
ways in which it possesses divine and eternal wisdom to meet any human need.
Lesson Objectives
- Ascertain the
ways in which the letter to the Colossians directly speaks to modern
American Christianity.
- Define exactly
what it means to live in Christ.
- Detail
strategies and practices for growing in Christ.
Prayer
Most gracious, holy and loving Father, look kindly upon the needs of
Your children. Help us to develop the
willingness to become willing to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to loving and
serving You. Grant us every allowable
grace to empower us with Your Holy Spirit so that we may honor and glorify You
with our daily living. As the deer pants
for the water brooks, make our souls thirst for You, the One true, eternal and
loving God. In Christ’s Name and cause,
we pray. Amen.
