Dead to Sin, Alive to God
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” In our service today, we heard testimonies from those being baptised and becoming a member at St. Paul's Leaskdale.

- What is your story so far with God? Share that with the group. Give us the 120 second version.
- Part of becoming a member in a Christian church is renouncing (means saying “No more”) the devil, the flesh and the world. What do each of those mean?
- Christians declare: “Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour”! What did he save you from and what is he Lord of in your life?
- Christians have always additionally vowed to ‘plug into the church’: continue to mature, give financially, serve significantly, join Jesus’ mission to the world. Which do you find easiest? Which is hardest for you?

Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
