  1. Colossians 3:1-4 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life,appears,then you also will appear with him in glory.

  2. Reflect and Pray • Thank and praise God for who He is and what He has done for you and in you. Be as specific as possible. • Look forward to being with Him in glory! Tell him what you’re looking forward to; what you’re excited about.

  3. Colossians 3:5-11 5 Put to death,therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewedin knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Gentile or Jew,circumcised or uncircumcised,barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,but Christ is all, and is in all.

  4. Reflect and Pray • Are there “earthly” things still consuming your mind? • Has God shown you something that needs to be put to “death”? • Confession (1 John 1:9) • Make room for the new!

  5. Colossians 3:12-14 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,gentleness and patience.13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

  9. Colossians 3:15-17 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one bodyyou were called to peace.And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdomthrough psalms,hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

  10. Reflect and pray • What often gets in the way of “letting” the peace of Christ rule in your heart? • Gratitude should “ooze” from us • Verse 16 – does this describe your fellowship? YL team? Are you committed to Christ in each other first? • “ALL IN”
