Christ the King: Paul's Letter to the Colossians. Part 6. Colossians 3:1-14

Read Colossians 3:1-14.

  • What stands out to you?
  • What do you notice?
  • What surprises you or grabs you?

Watch:

Consider:

  • What does it mean to set our hearts and minds on “things above”?
  • Do we simply not pay attention to what is happening in our day-to day lives, or not engage?
  • What would it look like to others when we are doing this well?
  • Looking at the ‘sin lists’ (v.5 & 8) which of these do we treat as more serious, and which do we give a pass?
  • Likewise, in v.12-14, which of these virtues do we treat as optional?

In v.9-11, Paul talks about the image of God being renewed in a whole range of people.

  • What obscures the image of God in us?
  • Why is it important to remember that His image is in every person, whatever their background?

Act:

Choose a sin or a virtue that you struggle with and make a plan – when you are having a hard time choosing what you know to be right, how might you seek God’s strength in that moment?

What might be a memory verse you can use?
