In today's world when we have a question, where do we go? There are many avenues to get the answers we need quickly in this digital age. Gone are the days of heading to the library to find the answer or waiting for the weekly newspaper to keep you updated. Nowadays, it's a lot easier to get the information we need.
 
But what about when we have deeper questions about the world around us or about how we are walk in our day to day tasks? Many Christians, thankfully, open God's Word. However, sometimes God's Word is perfectly clear on an issue or topic. Sometimes it isn't so black and white. What then?
 
As we come to the close of this passage in Colossians, Paul teaches us how to handle questions that aren't perfectly clear in God's Word. He lets us know what is important and how to address these times of not knowing or seeing the clear answers.

If you are a member of the Mount Hope community, you have joined with us as we gather as a church Sundays or at one of the various time during the week. You may have joined us at one of our church locations, or are a part of one of the many groups that meet throughout the Greater Boston area. 
 
But as you gather with others in the church community, have you ever asked yourself why you do so? What is the goal behind our gatherings? Everyone has a reason of their own as to why they come to these events. It may be to listen to some great music, or to listen to a relevant talk, to spend time with friends, or simply because it's some thing that's always been done. 
 
As we come to the close of this passage in Colossians, Paul addresses this issue and encourages us to do a couple of things every time we come together as a community. Listen in to be encouraged and challenged to live out the biblical standard of community.

As Christ followers, we are called to live in good relationship with others. Often, this is easier said than done. If we look around our society today, there is plenty of diversity. But this diversity comes at a cost. What makes us diverse can also divide us. We are divided by our worldviews, politics, wealth, preferences, and so much more. So how do we live out our call to live in unity? In the words of Paul, how do we put off what divides us and put on what unifies us? As we continue our sermon series on the book of Colossians, join us as we learn about what God has to say through the apostle Paul about unity in Christ.

Over the past couple weeks, we've explored the need for change in our lives, especially the sort of change that only God can bring. Regardless of the type of change we experience, it should be reflected in our words. The way we speak to people now should not be the same as before our encounter with God's grace. Simply put, as Christians, our speech should be different than that of the world's. However, at times, we find ourselves falling into the old pattern of speech we had before our experience with the Gospel. We struggle with words spoken in anger and words that tear others down. How do we change our words so that they reflect God in us?  How do we learn to build others up with our words?  Paul, in the book of Colossians, teaches us what we need to do in order to change our old self into our new self, as reflected in our speech.

We see things around us all the time that need to be changed. Whether it is rearranging our house, or  making career adjustments, or working on our relationships, there are things in all our lives that we would like to see changed. However, we often don't take the time to make these changes. This is not only true of the physical things we see but also the spiritual needs within us. We tolerate the things in and around us because we simply don't know where to begin. Fortunately, God does. Through the book of Colossians, He reminds us that change comes by ridding ourselves of certain things and focusing on others. This past Sunday, we explored what God calls us to get rid of and what He calls us to focus on. 
 
As we continue our sermon series on the book of Colossians, join us as we learn about what God has to say through the apostle Paul about this process of pursuing change
