Series: Rooted & Built Up Pt 1

Text: Colossians 1:1-14 (NIV)

Who is in Your 15?

Pre-Christians (those who are far from God but close to me)

Prodigals (those who have walked away)

Purposefuls (other believers) 

Potentials (those moving closer to my life’s front row)

Our Prayer for Bethel:

Father, fill us with the knowledge of Your will.
Holy Spirit, give us wisdom and understanding.
Help us to please You in every way and bear fruit in every good work.

If there is anything unpleasing, You have permission to dig it out.
We repent of self-centeredness.
We turn in faith again to You.

Help us grow in the knowledge of Your character.
Give us great endurance and patience.
Let joyful thanks rise from our church.

Lord, we hold to this truth: You qualify the unqualified.
You rescued us from the dominion of darkness.
Through Jesus we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins.

Help us truly understand grace and the Gospel.
We want deep roots.
Forgive us for seasons of not being rooted.
Plant us, root us, and build us up in Christ.

Use us to bring our 15 into the Kingdom of light,
the Kingdom that belongs to Your Son.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
