Philippians - Living in the WordChikamu
Key Verse:
Colossians 3:1-2
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Reflection:
Because we have been made new in Christ, we get the privilege to leave the mess of sin behind us. His resurrection paved the way for our freedom! As Christ followers, we are called to fix our eyes on Jesus, instead of on the patterns of this world.
Response:
Instead of conforming to the world around us, we are called to be holy and set apart. Which "patterns of the world" from verses 5-9 do you struggle with?
Which "patterns from above" in verses 12-17 would you like to grow in?
