a new identity

From August 9 – September 6, we’re doing a short, five-week series based in Paul’s letter to the Colossians. Calling it “RENEW,” here’s what we’re asking – What does it look like when God goes to work to renew a person? A relationship, a group of people, a church, or even a whole community?  We start week 1 with Colossians 1 – and Paul’s brilliant picture of the gospel we hear, it’s heart, it’s hope – and how we get in on it by grace through faith. This is the practical route of all renewal: the work of Jesus for us, worked out in us.
