WEEKLY DEVOTION

Colossians 3:1-11 Devotional

"Set your minds on things that are above." Paul is calling us to live as people who have been raised with Christ, to letting go of our old ways of anger, greed, lies, and impurity and to now embrace our new life shaped by Christ's love and truth. The key is our mindset. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." We are reminded that our identity is now hidden with Christ in God. But this hidden life does not mean secret, it means secure, rooted in heaven's reality rather than earthly chaos. In Christ we have taken off the "old self" and put on the "new self," which is being renewed in
the image of its Creator. This renewal is not a one-time event but an ongoing transformation.  What old habits or mindsets is God calling you to walk away from today? And how might you begin to "set your mind on the things that are above?"  As you ask God for your daily bread each day, ask God in awareness to make you new in your image day by day.

God bless, 
Pastor Moose

 

Teacher Baskets
Help us celebrate our silent heroes by donating snack items for breakroom baskets.  These items will be distributed among the various buildings in the Knob Noster District for teachers as they prepare for the upcoming year. All items must be individually wrapped.  You may bring items to the church or contact the office to have them picked up. Their first day to return to their rooms will be August 11.
