In Colossians 1:9-14, Paul prays that the church would grow in their knowledge of God’s will so that they might live in a way that pleases Him. This sermon walks through Paul’s prayer and helps us see that God’s will is not a secret to be discovered, but truth that has been revealed in Scripture.
Jared explains how Christian obedience flows from knowing God rightly and depending on His strength rather than our own. As believers grow in their understanding of the gospel, God produces spiritual fruit, endurance, patience, and joy in their lives through His power at work within them.
This passage also points us back to the heart of the gospel, reminding us that God has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son. The Christian life is rooted in gratitude, shaped by grace, and sustained by God’s strength from beginning to end.
