Get Our Jesus Right

READ ALL OF COLOSSIANS IN ONE SITTING
Paul was so very grateful for the faith and love of the Colossians (see Colossians 1:3-4). And having heard of the heresies being taught to them (all paths lead to God, secret knowledge, the need to measure up, etc.), he listed his prayers for their spiritual wisdom and understanding, for increasing in knowledge, and for being strengthened in all power for all endurance and patience with joy and thanksgiving (v 9-14).

Then Paul makes clear how to identify all counterfeit teachings: study the original, the FOUNDATION of our faith--WHO CHRIST IS.

Let's all get our Jesus right by reading Colossians 1:15-20, http://bit.ly/32TGjiS
Then go the extra mile with this week's spiritual assignment:
Read all of Colossians (4 chapters) in one sitting. In the file below you'll find the handouts from Sunday, July 21, which include:
1) Who is Christ (7 characteristics)
2) The Colossian Heresy
3) Colossians Megathemes

Jesus came for a harvest of souls. We are his laborers.

Jesus came for a harvest of souls. He is Lord of the harvest, and his plan begins with discipleship, which creates the laborers who are then sent in peace.

The Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. 
Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ And if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to you.
Luke 10:1-6

The Lord of the harvest directs us. Where did he send you last week? Where will he send you this week? He's not only sent us, he's empowered us that their might be great joy in the harvest. Take the following prayer with you in preparation of being God's laborer in harvesting souls.

​Prayer of Repentance and Faith (printable version below)
Lord Jesus Christ, I confess my faults, shortcomings, sins, and rebellious acts, and ask you to forgive me. I embrace you, Lord Jesus, as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for your atoning death on the cross in obedience to your Father’s will to put away my sins. I enthrone you, Lord Jesus, to be in charge of every part of my life, and I ask you to indwell and empower me with your Holy Spirit, so that I may live as your faithful follower from now on. Amen.
