WEEKEND RECAP

VIDEO THOUGHTS
-Do you have a life motto or focus word for this year? What is it and how did you decide to make it your word?
-Do you wish God’s game plan for your life was more specific or would you rather it be vaguer? Why?
-In Colossians 1:10, Paul talks about living a life worthy of the Lord that pleases God in every way. What might that look like and how do we stay focused on that goal?
-If you received a letter that started with these 14 verses, how do you think the rest of the letter would go? Would it be encouraging? Make you suspicious? Afraid for what’s next?
-Paul is going to address a specific problem in the church at Colossae. How would you start a letter if you intended to be critical by the end of it?

DIVING DEEP
-How are the fruits of hope, faith and love growing in your life: Are they developing well? Suffering from drought? Destroyed by the last storm you faced? Budding? How can you cultivate these things?
-How does what Paul prays for in verse 9-11 compare with what he thanks God for in verse 12-14?

CONCLUSION
-What are some things we can be doing for each other in this upcoming week - prayer requests or actual things?
