The Means Matter

In this week’s message, we focused on the idea that the journey, or "the means," is just as important as the outcome. Transformation in Christ is a process that requires setting our minds on things above, letting go of earthly desires, and actively renewing our character. In Colossians 3:1-15, Paul urges believers to put to death sinful behaviors and instead clothe themselves with virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Growth occurs during the process of following Christ, not only in reaching an end goal.
