In this message, Pastor Josh Blevins focuses on Colossians 1:9-14, where Paul prays for believers to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, spiritual wisdom, and understanding so they can live lives that honor and please God. Pastor Josh highlights how this involves being fruitful in good works, growing in the knowledge of God, and relying on His strength to endure trials with patience and joy. He emphasizes that knowing God’s will requires obedience to His revealed Word and trusting Him step by step, even when details of His plans remain unclear. Josh reminds listeners that God’s will isn’t about guaranteeing personal happiness but about living for His glory and reflecting the Gospel in every area of life.
Pastor Josh also reflects on Christ’s redemptive work, celebrating how He has qualified believers for an eternal inheritance, delivered them from darkness, conveyed them into His kingdom, and redeemed them through His blood. He challenges believers to view sin through the lens of Christ’s sacrifice, recognizing its cost and resisting temptation out of reverence for Him. Ultimately, the message is a call to respond to God’s love and grace with gratitude by walking in His will and living lives that glorify Him.
