Message Notes Sunday, March 19th
SCRIPTURE:
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
NOTES:
“Please God, help me save one more…”
God loves to use ordinary people to do extraordinary work.

“God if you want me to talk about you today, can you please make a way, because I can’t do this on my own.”

6 Week Challenge
There are 4 chapters, 2000 words, and 95 verses in the letter to the Colossians. What would it look like to not only read, but also write out every single word in this letter? Studies have shown that when you put words to paper, it increases neural activity and it helps recall a greater amount of information.
Join us the next 41 days (starting Monday 2/26) in writing 3 verses a day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks leading up to Easter.
3/20 Monday: Colossians 2:17-19 3/21 Tuesday: Colossians 2:20-22 3/22 Wednesday: Colossians 2:23-3:2 3/23 Thursday: Colossians 3:3-5 3/24 Friday: Colossians 3:6-8
As you read and write each day….
READ: As you read, write down the verse that sticks out most to you.
THINK: What is the context? What does this tell me about God? Are there any principles or commands?
PRAY: Take time to meditate on the passage and ask the Lord to speak to you.
APPLY: How can I apply this verse to my everyday life? How can I live differently based on what I read?
