New in Christ - Part 1 | Colossians 3:1-2

Scripture: Colossians 3:1–2 (with Titus 2:11–12)

Summary: Since you’ve been raised with Christ, Paul says: seek what’s above—not as a head-in-the-clouds escape, but as a heart recalibration where Jesus becomes the center that reshapes your choices, habits, and hopes. So before you set goals for 2026, get honest about 2025: what have you been chasing, what’s been capturing your affection, and what’s been quietly steering your life—because what you seek will shape who you become.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus didn’t come to be admired for a season; He came to transform you for a lifetime.

• Grace doesn’t just save you—it trains you to live differently today.

• If you’re raised with Christ, your focus must rise: set your affection on what’s eternal.

• Before new goals, pursue spiritual honesty: what shaped you in 2025?

• Recalibration changes everything: what you love will shape how you live.
