UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE: People bind themselves together by mutual bonds of love and commitment. How can communities avoid losing their identities while under attack? Paul urged the Colossians to be united in love in order to fully understand the rich treasures offered to them by faith so that they could resist false teachings and come to appreciate their new spiritual standing in Christ.
CONCLUDING REFLECTION: Without constantly sharpening our walk with God through Bible study, prayer, preaching, and teaching, we may likely fall prey to the world’s distractions that seem like truth but are thinly veiled half-truths. Jesus is supreme over every spiritual “ruler and authority,” and that is why we must reject false teachings and the inadequate focus on Christ and His Cross. With consistency, we must refuse to be swayed by teachings that run counter to the Gospel. Then we can walk in the light of God’s Word in order to fulfill God’s will and delight in God’s ways.
PRAYER: LORD, let us be steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in your work so that our labor will not be in vain. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
