In Colossians 3:1-4, Paul turns the focus of the Christian life toward identity and perspective. If believers have been raised with Christ, then their lives are no longer defined by the patterns of the world. Instead, they are called to seek the things that are above and set their minds on Christ and His kingdom.
This sermon explores how remembering the gospel reshapes our understanding of life. Clay explains how the death and resurrection of Jesus define the believer’s past, present, and future. Through Christ, we have died to sin, our lives are now hidden with Him, and we await the day when He will appear in glory.
Rather than chasing new experiences or relying on personal effort, Paul calls Christians to anchor their thinking in the finished work of Jesus and the reality of His reign.
This message reminds us that when we understand who we are in Christ, it transforms how we face discouragement, temptation, and the pressures of everyday life.
