Nurturing a Healthy Discipleship

The church in Colossae was in crisis.  Their founder and leader, the Apostle Paul, was in prison and in a city full of spiritual options and activities promising meaning and fulfillment, these half-formed Christians were easy prey to instability and at the same time fascinated by the charms of those who they thought might offer them more! Paul is desperate to root them more deeply in their Christian walk and in a practical, day to day discipleship that will help them both grow in their faith and witness.  Two-thousand years later American Christians are still distracted and far too often, rootless. Like the Colossians, we need to keep our roots strong and tap into the renewing power of the Holy Spirit.  As we begin 2026, we’re going to take a few lessons from Paul’s letter to the Colossians and seek to develop practical ways to nurture a strong, healthy and growing discipleship in a world full of distractions, temptations and outright opposition.  Be sure to join us as we celebrate the inspiring renewal Christ offers!
