This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, we focus on Paul's encouragement to believers when we feel overwhelmed by life, whether emotional struggles, painful illnesses, difficult relationships, bitter disappointments, or whatever else...to look to Jesus with fresh eyes – to rivet our eyes especially on His preeminence – His Supremacy –in a way that is life-changing.

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, we get the timely reminder that there is one final characteristic of a life that is ‘worthy’ of the gospel - and it’s a life of gospel THANKFULNESS! This isn’t a ‘nice add on’ to the Christian life. It is essential! And isn’t to be simply lip-service, but something that really comes from our hearts! In other words, thankfulness is something we must work at!

This week in our series Colossians: Christ In You - The Hope Of Glory, Paul says we are to "give thanks always and for everything". But what does that look like when our situations are not ideal? How can we "give thanks always" in our difficult times? Paul's "thankfulness" sounds different than ours often does. It's broader, richer, and more deeply rooted in the grasp of God's grace.
