Staff Devotions 2

Here is last weeks staff devotions you can read the text for Colossians 1:18-29 here Below are my bullet points for what I talked about. What Jesus Did -Christ is the start and the finish and in the mean time he holds it all together -So Spacious is everything that's of God finds it's place in him -Because of his death he can fix the broken pieces. What is Jesus doing now? -He is putting our lives togehter -making us whole and holy. - Where is Jesus putting us back together? is it family? Pride? Insecurity? Faith? Purpose? future? - We don't need to be all figuredout right now -- Jesus is putting us together - What do we need to do? Stay focused on the Gospel - Jesus dided and roser for us and the rest of the world. Paul's Sufferin --> Jesus Suffered -- > The Church suffers so that the messagecan get out. All the suffering now - -Glory someday --> we'll share and dwell in Jesus Christ! -Every thing we face is worth it because of this promise. what's the message -- Jesus -- How do we get it out? What's maturity -- Being Basic - Stick to the gospel (we don't have to get all fancy pants) it's all about using Common Sense.
