Over this past week we’ve been exploring the idea that relationships offer opportunities to mature Christ in us and spread Christ through us. As we wrap up the week, carve out a few quiet moments to look back on the notes you captured Sunday and reflect on how God grew you.
Reread the verses that really spoke to you throughout the week in Colossians 3:10-25 and Colossians 4:1-6.
You may consider making additional notes as you explore the following questions:
How did you step into sharing Christ through your relationships this week?
What did you notice about yourself as you intentionally made the most of these opportunities? What is one thing that went well? Was anything awkward or uncomfortable?
How can you continue to deepen the relationships with those God has placed in your life and share his love with them?
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for your generous love, the sacrifice of your Son, and the gift of your Holy Spirit. I praise you for the opportunities you gave me this week to share your love with others and for how you grew me in the process. Help me to continue to mature in my faith and tell others about the hope you offer the world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Series Theme Verse:
Colossians 1:23
But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.
