Why Every Church Has Problems (And Why That's Okay) | Colossians Devotional - Part 2

from Grow In Faith · host Christ Church IL

Have you ever been disappointed by the church? Discouraged by failures, scandals, or broken people in leadership? You're not alone — and as we continue our journey through Colossians, we discover that the church has been wrestling with problems from the very beginning.In Day 2 of our Colossians devotional series, we step back to look at the bigger picture behind Paul's letter and uncover a truth that's both humbling and incredibly freeing: God has always worked through broken people.In this devotional, we explore:→ Why Paul wrote Colossians around 60 AD — and what was going wrong → The Apostle Paul's wild missionary "MO" (preach, riot, jail, repeat 😅) → Why brand-new believers were often left to lead entire churches → The hard truth about church history — from the Crusades to modern moral failures → The "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11 and why it's filled with deeply flawed people: Abraham the liar, Moses the murderer, David the adulterer, Rahab the prostitute → Why the church is a community of broken people following a perfect SaviorKey takeaway: "If you find a perfect church, don't join it — because as soon as you join it, it won't be perfect."This is an encouraging, honest conversation about why we shouldn't be shocked by failure in the church — and why we should never give up on what God is doing through imperfect people like you and me.📖 Scripture Focus: Colossians 1 (Background) + Hebrews 11 🎯 Series: Colossians Chapter 1 Devotional ⏮️ Missed Part 1?
