Mission Forward “The Worship/Cross Priority”
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Col. 2:13-15, NIV)
Mission Forward calls us to the priority of worship and the cross of Jesus.
We’ve come to worship by celebrating the Lord’s Supper together. The cross of Jesus calls us to a grateful, sacrificial, and communal life together. The unity of our love for Jesus leads us to love one another likewise.
We worship as a response to God’s rescuing love for us in Christ.
“God made you alive with Christ” (v.13)-
“He forgave us all our sins...” (v.13)-
Our worship is an outpouring of praise from grateful hearts to God.
God “cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness” (v.14)-
“which stood against us...” -
“and condemned us...”-
God “has taken it away”... How? “nailing it to the cross” (v.14)
“disarmed the powers and authorities...” (v.15)
“made a public spectacle of them...”
“triumphing over them by the cross.”
Our worship reflects that God loves us, and we love Him, and we love one another in Christ.
We follow the Way of Jesus together through sacrifice and joy.
Our love reflects a unity of fellowship in the Spirit.
How grateful we are for life together in Christ!
