Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Millions of us did. Resolutions to lose weight, quit smoking, change a personality trait, develop a good habit, be a happier person, go deeper spiritually. Resolutions and decisions to change are usually driven by a sense that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Resolutions often come out of pain and suffering. In this section of Paul’s letter to the Christians at Colossae, he shares how he has resolved to suffer for the cause of the gospel so that everyone could know the mysterious, revolutionary joy of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

This message examines Peter’s denial of Jesus and the dangers of following Jesus from a distance. It challenges believers to assess whether they are truly "with Him" or merely acknowledging Him when convenient.

This message explores the theme of betrayal, both in the life of Jesus and in our own lives.

Jesus commands his disciples to pray so they do not fall into temptation and sets the example by praying in deep agony before his crucifixion. He teaches that prayer is not about changing God's will, but aligning ourselves with it. Prayer strengthens us in trials, keeps us from distraction, and leads us to surrender to God’s perfect plan.

This message emphasizes that trials are an inevitable part of the Christian life, but through Christ, we can triumph over them. By placing our confidence in Christ rather than ourselves, we find peace, endurance, and purpose in our suffering.

This message emphasizes that true greatness in God's kingdom is achieved through disciple-making. Using 2 Timothy 2:1-10, the message highlights Paul's mentorship of Timothy as an example of how believers should invest in others to multiply disciples. The pathway to greatness is not about personal achievement but about surrendering to Christ, enduring hardships, and faithfully passing on the Gospel to future generations.

The world defines greatness through power, status, and personal achievement, but Jesus flips this concept by demonstrating that true greatness is found in servanthood and humility.

Through the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper as a reminder of His sacrifice, reinforcing that God’s love and salvation are available to all.

This study explores the theme of betrayal. Betrayal is inevitable in life, often coming from those closest to us, but how we respond to it determines our spiritual well-being. Jesus exemplifies that forgiveness, rather than bitterness, leads to freedom, allowing us to trust in God rather than be enslaved by the fear of man.

This message concludes the series "Who God Says You Are" by emphasizing that everything God calls us to be builds up to our role as ambassadors for Christ. We are not defined by our own perception or the opinions of others but by God’s truth. As ambassadors, we are called to represent Him, equipped by God, and strengthened through prayer and community.
