Good news - that's what we shared together Sunday, and we saw how God uses that good news to change lives. Not only are we continually transformed by GRACE (God's Riches At Christ's Expense), but we are given a new mission in life as well.

So... what next?

Here are a few suggestions for your next steps - from classes to further reading to online materials and more.

For Further Thought:

• Read our key passage again - Colossians 1:1-8. Paul hasn't met these believers, yet he is attracted to them. Why? What qualities of this church would attract you the most?
• If faith, hope and love are the fruit of the gospel (v 5-6), then what does this fruit look like? Feel like?
• How is the fruit of faith, hope and love growing in your life: Developing well? Suffering from drought? Destroyed by the last storm? Budding? How will you help this "crop" develop?
