Check In – How is everyone doing (good things, teaching applied, lessons learned, prayers answered.)

Word

• Do you have any resolutions for the New Year?
• Read Colossians 1:28-29
• Paul expresses the foundation of “Proclaiming Jesus”.  What is this so important and how do we do it?
• What are somethings that can clutter our proclamation of Jesus?
• How can we effectively teach and admonish people?
• How is discipling others like parenting? How can we help other people to mature in Christ?
• How do we balance the last two principles of working hard and depending on His strength?
• What is something that you can apply from these verses?

Witness

Who is God calling you to proclaim Jesus to? Be looking for opportunities and praying for these individuals.

Prayer

Pray that God will help you apply this lesson.  Pray for any other requests you have.
