When The Mission Gets Messy

20191110 WHEN THE MISSION GETS MESSY.JPG

Colossians 1:24-29

Big idea: Embracing God’s mission faithfully means embracing the Gospel fully

When the mission gets messy I:

1. Embrace the suffering (v. 24-26)

a. Is this a consequence of sin in my life?
b. What is God trying to teach me?
c. How will God refine me in my suffering

2. Embrace my role (v. 25-28)

a. Christ’s servant
b. God’s steward

3. Embrace the work (v. 29)
