Christ Over Everything - ColossiansSample

Theme: Mature in Christ

Paul closes the chapter by declaring his mission: to proclaim Christ, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom so they might be presented mature in Christ. Maturity isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, growth, and transformation. Paul didn’t want shallow faith; he wanted deep, lasting discipleship.

This kind of maturity doesn’t happen by accident. Paul says he labors and strives—not by his own strength, but with the energy Christ powerfully works in him. Spiritual growth takes effort, but it’s grace-fueled effort. God provides the power when we commit to the process.

If you feel stuck in your walk with God, ask yourself: Am I relying on my strength, or His? Maturity comes when we depend on Christ and engage His Word, His people, and His presence daily.

Daily Application: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal one area where He wants you to grow. Write it down. Then take one small, obedient step today—whether that’s forgiving, studying, serving, or surrendering.
