Scriptures, throughout the Bible, command us to be generous to the poor, saying that those who oppress the poor insult God, while those who are generous honor Him.  And we are both able and equipped to be generous because God gives generously and freely to us. Consider how you can align your heart with God's in the way you respond to the poor. 

Do you genuinely believe God is good and generous in His provision for you, or do you quietly assume He's either disappointed or controlling about your finances? Wherever you land on this, the Bible tells us that God is generous and a provider; therefore, we can be generous. NEXT STEPS  Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?

We explore how truth—objective, grounded, and spoken with care—is essential to building meaningful relationships in a culture shaped by spin and self-preservation. As followers of Jesus, we speak truth with love, receive it with humility, and model the integrity found in His character. In a world where honesty often gives way to impulse or bias, we become people who reflect the truth of God for the sake of a stronger "we.”NEXT STEPS  Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?

In Colossians 3, we see a move from commands for the home to commands for the workplace. Is it easy for you to see the work environment as a place where God has influence? Scripture says that work can reflect God's created order and intended heart. So, consider this in the workplace: Do good work; value people. NEXT STEPS   Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?

An epistle, such as Colossians, has doctrine, application, and personal touches. As we see in Colossians 3:12-17, Paul is explaining not only to avoid empty philosophy and powerless arguments, he begins to articulate what specific things a Christian should do to push back against the wisdom of the age. And verse 17 teaches that no matter what your lot in life, live it as if Jesus had asked you for it. NEXT STEPS   Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?

When Jesus is at the center of your life, your true identity is revealed. And, while sin is still in your story, it's no longer who you are. As we read in Colossians 3:9, “…  seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” NEXT STEPS   Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?

Since we've been given new life in Jesus, we cultivate that new life by seeking and setting our minds on heavenly things, instead of earthly things. The world tries to tell us what we should be seeking to better ourselves. Being focused on things above actually puts us in the best position to have the most impactful life here on earth.

In Colossians, Paul asserts that the gospel is sufficient to answer to the culture around us. While this is true, does it actually feel sufficient to you as a response to the pressure and content of the world? Consider this: since pulling away from world views will cause push back, it's important to continuously lean in to and promote the gospel. NEXT STEPS Have you made a decision to follow Jesus?

God often interrupts you to lead you. Considering this, do you listen for, respond to, and interact with Him? Wherever you are in this, as you move forward, be attentive and responsive to His nudges — the sudden, deep-down sense that God wants you to do something inconvenient for Him.
