Read Colossians 1:9-14 aloud.
What did this message tell you about God?
What did this message tell you about people?
We talked about Paul’s use of the phrase, the Domain of Darkness. Discuss how Jesus frees you from that place you used to be and share how you may still be imprisoned in some of those areas.
Escape from the Domain of Darkness means we now have freedom to serve Jesus. Escape does not mean escapism, which is running from spiritual responsibilities. Do you have ways you run from spiritual responsibilities?
The rescue and ransom of Jesus means that we can now “walk worthy of the Lord.” What does that mean in the day-to-day? How does Jesus guard your heart, turning you into something valuable as a smelter uses a crucible to refine gold? What fire are you in right now?
