Pastor Josh taught from Colossians 4, highlighting six essential principles for living out the Christian life. First, be consistent in prayer—persistent, watchful, and thankful communication with God is vital, even when results are unseen. Second, continue in wisdom, especially in how we live among unbelievers, making the most of every opportunity with spiritual awareness and urgency.
Third, speak with grace, letting our words be consistently thoughtful and seasoned, reflecting Christ’s character in both tone and truth. Fourth, value fellowship, as seen in Paul’s personal mentions of co-laborers—reminding us that ministry is never meant to be done alone. Fifth, be constant in zeal, maintaining spiritual passion and refusing to be distracted by worldly comfort, as exemplified by Epaphras and contrasted with Demas. Finally, cultivate your calling—receive, embrace, and fulfill the ministry God has entrusted to you, with diligence and intentionality.
