In this concluding message of our “Complete in Christ” series, we will explore the profound themes of Colossians 3-4, focusing on the transformative power of the word “let” and the realization that God has already prepared incredible things to happen within us.

We will delve into the liberating truth that everything we do can be done in the name of Jesus, and reflect on the beautiful dynamics of respect and love within relationships. Additionally, we will ponder the assurance that God’s treatment of us will never exasperate or discourage us.

I encourage you to tune in to this enlightening and inspiring conclusion to our series. Let’s continue to grow together in the deeper truth of our completeness in Christ!
