Week 4 – Everyday Saints
In this message, Pastor Brad continues the series “Everyday Saints,” from the New Testament book Colossians. In this series, you will learn how to discover your identity in Christ and live your faith in a broken world.
In today’s sermon, you will learn three lessons for growing in faith and becoming a mature Christian. Some Christians reject these things which leads to an underdeveloped faith and immaturity.
Life-in-Christ is lived between Sundays, in everyday life. Learn how to respond to culture, friends, and family with the grace, peace, love, and hope of Jesus Christ.
WORSHIP BY GIVINGWhatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:23-24

How to be a Mature Christian
SCRIPTURE: Colossians 1:24-29; Colossians 2:1-5 (6-7); 1 Corinthians 2:1-8 (ESV)
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
Colossians 1:24-29, emphasis added (ESV)
- Learn to EMBRACE SUFFERING
- Learn to REACH CHRIST
- Learn to AVOID DECEPTION
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face (who is he struggling for?), 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ (what is God’s Mystery?), 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
Colossians 2:1-5 (ESV)
