Colossians 1:24-29...“Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for His body, that is, the church. I have become its servant, according to God’s administration that was given to me for you, to make God’s message fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to His saints. God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. I labor for this, striving with His strength that works powerfully in me.”

Sermon In A Sentence: By the strength of Christ in you, serve your church family with the goal that everyone of us would become His mature disciple.

Making Mature Disciples Of Everyone In Our Church Requires:
-That we suffer for each other (v.24)
-That we serve each other (v.25-27)
-That we labor for each other in Christ’s strength (v.28-29)

Matthew 4:19-20...“And He said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’”

Matthew 28:19-20...“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you”
