Dear Friends,
I love good news. Whether it comes from a friend, the Gazette-Mail, CNN, Fox News, my wife, or Google... encouraging news is a lifeboat in a sea of anxiety.
When you hear good news, what comes to mind? Your college football team won yesterday? Your career looks promising? The middle class is making a comeback? Your county just approved a multi-sport complex? Wall Street is experiencing an upturn? The doctor gave you a clean bill of health? You’re expecting your first or third child? You’re anticipating the arrival of your first or tenth grandchild?
I’m with you… These all sound great! However, the Bible shares news that’s eternally great: “God has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:13-14). The book of Colossians declares, “Jesus Christ has won!” This is gospel. This is good news.
As we journey verse-by-verse through the book of Colossians in September and October, imagine how this good news impacts every area of life.
Let’s saturate ourselves with this good news this fall. Be sure to pick up your copy of the Colossians devotional from the table in the Gathering Space, or check it out on our app or website. Reading through the short book of Colossians each day is another way to fill our minds and hearts with God’s good news.
