9. Colossians Pushing Back and Pushing Forward (ch.3:1-17)

Colossians 3:1-17

Questions

1. Luke 12:34 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” What is a heart tie or treasure that you struggle to release and get a heavenly perspective on?
2. Discuss the struggle and challenges of dealing with your own failure and the failure of others to fully live into our new identity. How do we pursue something and yet graciously love and forgive and accept the weakness and frailty of our own living and those around us?
3. Looking closely at verse 11, it seems like an odd inclusion at this point  yet obviously relevant to the time and situation of the church at Colossia. Is it relevant to our times? How does our constant thinking of heaven and our new identity help us with judgmental thoughts about people of other races or socio economic status?
