11/23/2025 A Grace Filled Community

Colossians 4:7-18

Big Idea: Following Jesus and being the church is a team sport!

The Gospel doesn’t just save people, it creates a community. 

As the church, we are called to be part of a grace-filled Gospel community:

1. True gospel community encourages one another (vs 7-9). Kingdom impact happens behind the scenes. (Philemon 1:10) Encouragement is oxygen. The Gospel doesn’t just change your eternity, it changes your identity. (2 Cor 5:15,17). Jesus doesn’t cancel people, He transforms them.

2. True Gospel community is diverse but unified (vs 10-14). The Church is built on Christ-centered unity within God-designed diversity. (Gal 3:28).

3. True Gospel community finishes the mission together (vs 15-18). Complete the mission God has given you. We are saved to serve others. 

Who am I  encouraging? Who am I serving alongside? What is my part in the mission?
