What the Gospel Creates | Colossians 1:3-14

Notes: Text: Colossians 1:3-14   "To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart." – A.W. Towzer   +The Gospel creates a secure community that loves   +The Gospel creates a witnessing community that multiplies   +The Gospel creates a wise community that pleases God   +The Gospel creates a thankful community with one allegiance   "You cannot know anything about Jesus, anything, if you miss the kingdom of God…You are zero on Jesus if you don't understand this term. I'm sorry to say it that strongly, but this is the great failure of evangelical Christianity. We have had Jesus without the kingdom of God, and therefore have literally done Jesus in." – Gordon Fee   -      Remind one another of the Gospel -      Repent of any ways we've lacked love -      Renew our minds to know what pleases God -      Respond with thanks to God for bringing us into his Kingdom
