Are you ready to see life through grace-tinted glasses?

As we approach a new year, it’s time to ditch the old resolutions and embrace the newness we already have in Christ. Colossians 3 invites us to put on grace-tinted glasses, where seeking things above transforms our perspective.

Imagine living with the security of knowing your life is hidden with Christ, shaping your identity and choices. This isn’t about striving to become new but realizing you already are! Christ is your life, and everything you do can reflect this incredible truth. From putting aside anger to embracing compassion, your new self is being renewed in the knowledge of Jesus.

Watch now to explore how living from your new identity and this grace-filled perspective can revolutionize your year. It’s time to renew your view and see life through the lens of grace!
