Guest speaker Al Stewart (National Director of the FIEC) walks us through this meaty chunk of Scripture. If you've got Jesus, you've got all you need. You don't need extra knowledge, extra rules or extra disciplines.
Paul shares with the young Colossian church what the mystery of God is and what it means for them. His goal is a big one but as they grow into their relationship with Jesus it's a goal that's achievable thanks to the Spirit.
Jesus is the answer to all of life's biggest questions. We were made to live with him at the centre of our lives, giving Him first place in everything. Do you have a big enough picture of who He is and a clear enough picture of what He has done?

The key to working out God's will for your life is to understand God's plan for His world, and to plug into that. Here are 4 practical ways to live in accordance with God's will.

In this passage Paul reveals his heart and attitude toward his ministry. He sees his ministry not as something optional that he only does when he feels like, he sees his ministry, his service toward others, as a loving and joyful obligation. Here we learn what Paul saw as his joyful obligations and how we can apply these to our own lives.
Under the umbrella of 'living sacrifices', Paul gives God's people another command of what life should look like within the Body. Unity is key - especially in light of disputable matters. Our freedom in Christ should never come at the price of division and disunity among the Church.

If God is sovereign and has everything planned out - what's the point in praying or sharing the Gospel? If people are predestined anyway then is it really necessary to go out of our way to share the good news? Join us as we check out what Paul says the believer's role is in God's sovereign plan.

God is Sovereign and He chooses who he will graciously save. This is a great encouragement and comfort for His people, but it also raises a lot of questions. How does God choose? Why doesn't He choose everyone. Is God unfair for choosing some and not others? What about Free Will? How do I know if I am chosen? Why bother praying for people or sharing the gospel?

What if I keep falling into temptation? Surely God's love has a limit. If the sickness doesn't go away does that mean that God's love and care for me has lessened? Join us as we check out some of the most encouraging and powerful verses in the Book of Romans!
