Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Colossians 3:2

Jesus had a way of taking ideas that everyone understood and flipping them upside down to show His followers something new. We’re going to look at some of Jesus’ most countercultural ideas and dive into the way they turned preconceived notions and expectations on their heads, ultimately teaching us what it looks like to take Jesus’ lead and follow His countercultural example in our own lives today.

The world can sometimes feel full of disappointments and difficult circumstances. The idea of joy may seem too lofty. Joy is something we choose to see, no matter the circumstances. A joy we choose to feel, even when the world feels empty and cold, and one that shows us we were meant for more than we know. Let's discover the elevated life of joy that is our gift from God.

As Christ-followers we acknowledge that Jesus is not only our Savior, but also our Lord. We recognize that everything belongs to Him and that we’re only stewards of His good gifts. Through this plan’s devotional content and brief Scripture readings, you’ll discover that being a good steward of those gifts requires that we become more and more like Him—the essence of conformity.

What an incredible journey these twenty-one days will be as we fast, pray, and grow together. Fasting has a way of bringing every part of your life into focus in ways nothing else can do.

We’re going to be pressing in on a quest for revival, for healing, for salvation, and the fulfillment of the dreams God has given us.

The letter to the Church in Colossae was written by Paul as a REALITY CHECK on the things that are considered of greatest value for those following Jesus, the threats against them and how to live amidst the culture surrounding them. He investigates the vast ideas of Christ’s Supremacy, which is ultimate reality, all the way to the personal understanding of our new reality in Christ and fullness in Him.
