Today we wrapped up Paul’s letter to the Colossians which springboarded us into a study on living out the great commission.

As you know I am beginning to really press you about going out and doing the work of the Kingdom!

We all have a sphere of influence and authority and it is IN that sphere that we are commanded to be lights and salt to the world. 

In order to be lights and salt requires that we FIRST have been and are continuing to be transformed into Christ’s likeness. Our daily encounters with Christ produces a transformed life which is itself a witness and it creates a platform upon which we extend to the world a life line into God’s kingdom!

James tells us that true worship of God is seen in control over your mouth and in extending yourself to those in need – offering orphans and widows as his token examples.

So this was the point upon which our teaching this week is pressing.

After last week’s lesson clarifying how setting our minds on things above leads to the glorification of believers upon Jesus’ return, we focused our attention this week on living like a believer. The key to this is found in what our hearts treasure most, and for the believer that is Jesus!
