Core Truth: Maximizing our potential of usefulness to Christ and His kingdom while we are here on earth requires that regardless of the obstacles or circumstances we may face, we must continue to press forward and press on in our Christian walk until the day He calls us home to Himself and we get to hear those wonderful words ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! Now enter into the joys of your Lord.’
Scripture: Colossians 1:4-13, 22-23
Because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people – the faith and love that spring form the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you. … We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light. For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves.
