Make the Shift [Part 1] Shift to Grow- No Idle Faith


Colossians 2:6-7

1) Shift from information to intimacy. (vs. 6)

      • Bible facts without Jesus fellowship is spiritual famine.
      • What does my schedule reveal about what I’m committed to most?
      • Colossians 2:6-7 verbs: received (decision), live (daily), rooted (planted in Christ), built up (ongoing spiritual growth), strengthened (established), overflowing (pouring out with a grateful posture).
2) Shift from passive to practicing. (vs. 6-7)
      • John 14:15
      • Desire is good; devotion is better.
      • Shift from being a Christian atheist. Believing in God, but living like He doesn’t exist.
      • James 1:23-24
3) Shift from attending to engaging. (vs. 7)
      • A new “Rule of Life”: Word daily, Pray continually, Worship weekly, Group consistently, Serve faithfully.
