Ever feel like you’re trying to earn your way to spiritual maturity?

Like maybe if you read the right books, follow the right rules, or gain enough knowledge, you’ll finally “level up” in your faith?

Pastor Cory breaks down Paul’s approach in Colossians 1:28–29 and shows us something freeing: spiritual growth isn’t about checking boxes or striving harder.

It’s about understanding that Jesus has already done everything for you.

When you start trusting and applying that truth, you discover something powerful—it’s His strength working through you that changes everything, not your own willpower.

You’ll walk away challenged to ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself for Jesus, or am I exhausting myself for myself?
