Becoming God's Masterpiece

By Pastor Aaron Austin, January 29, 2023

Scriptural Focus: Colossians 1:1-14

WHO AM I BECOMING?

“growing up” - evidence of growth

EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIAN MATURITY (Colossians 1:4)

  1. in Jesus Christ
  2. for one another

PRAYING FOR GROWTH (Colossians 1:9-12)

God is making you into His of divine grace, so don’t rush him! Continually invite his Spirit and power to strengthen you so that you will have all the patience and endurance you need to live out your life as God’s beautiful work of art.

AS YOU GET OLDER, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND TO BE YOUR PRIMARY FOCUS OF GROWTH: “GETTING BIGGER” (OUTWARD DEVELOPMENTS SUCH AS CAREER, FAMILY, SKILLS, EDUCATION, WEALTH) OR “GROWING UP” (FAITH IN CHRIST AND LOVE FOR OTHERS)

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT THAT THE CHURCH DISPLAYS THE EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIAN MATURITY? WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR ROLE IN THAT?

WHAT AREA OF GROWTH HIGHLIGHTED IN PAUL’S PRAYER (SEE COLOSSIANS 1:9-12) DO YOU MOST STRONGLY DESIRE TO GROW UP IN? WHERE DO YOU FEEL GOD CALLING YOU TO GROW UP IN? WRITE YOUR OWN PRAYER SEEKING GOD’S SPIRIT TO HELP YOU MATURE IN THIS AREA.

COMMIT THIS WEEK TO JOURNEY WITH YOUR CHURCH FAMILY THROUGH THE “RESTORE US, O GOD” DAILY PRAYER GUIDE AND BE PREPARED TO JOIN TOGETHER NEXT SUNDAY FOR PRAYERS OF RESTORATION. YOU CAN FIND THE DAILY GUIDES BY VISITING www.legacynazarene.ca OR THE LEGACY CHURCH APP.
