Pat 3: Colossians 1:24-2:7

Faithfulness is not what you do it is about who you pursue

A long obedience in the same direction

= Purpose= Comfort= Acceptance

It’s all worth it: Suffering for Christ’s

Sake is Part of God’s Plan

Earthly Loss for Heavenly Gain.

“Counting it all as loss” “Oh Death, where is your sting”

Suffering well is part of stewarding my call well.

Dependability is fulfilling what I agreed to do even when it

requires unexpected sacrifices.

3. Know the hope of glory

1. Be Encouraged 2. Knit together in love

Knowing the person of Christ and the power of the Gospel is the believer’s best protection against deception.

“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.”

— 1 Corinthians 1:30 NIV

Jesus cannot be both ADORED and IGNORED

To walk in Him requires growing roots in a firm foundation.

“In the Gospels there is no trace of people

expressing mild approval.”

Steadfast Faith is Evidence of Christ

Working In Me.
