INTRODUCTION
It’s nice to belong. Whether it’s a team, club, affinity group, family, etc., it’s just great to belong to something bigger than ourselves. Find a collective to pour into as it sharpens you is an admirable aspiration. God knows that because he made us that way on purpose.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Colossians 3:12-14
Being counted among the ranks of God’s chosen people is a free gift with no strings attached that comes through the amazing sacrifice of Jesus. However, representing that same amazing Jesus whose name we bear as Christians… being a functional contributing member of the family… actively bringing His kingdom to this broken world… Well, that’s a whole different level!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Colossians 3:15-17
We can never and will never earn our salvation. That is already taken care of. But we are definitely NOT still here drawing breath for our own plans and purposes. We have a job. That job is to represent King Jesus in every dark corner of this world. We go out as light into darkness snatching as many as possible from the fire and destruction they are so often spiraling toward.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God shows you more each day what it looks like to work as a Kingdom builder and Ambassador of the Gospel.
