This sermon continues our three-week series on our discipleship pathway: Proclaiming, Cultivating, and Multiplying. In Colossians 1:24-29, we are invited to examine Paul’s calling, the shape of his ministry, and the aims he felt compelled to pursue, recognizing that God was at work in him. By God’s grace, we will imitate him in tthis fruitful work. We must as a church work hard in joyfully cultivating disciples of Jesus Christ. We must lay down our lives in service to their growth, making God’s word fully known to them, until every person is presented mature in Christ.
