In this message from Colossians 3:1–11, Pastor Matt teaches that the goal of the Christian life is not merely new experiences, old traditions, emotional moments, or outward religious expression—the goal is transformation into the image of Christ.
As Wellspring continues to grow and follow Jesus into new seasons, this sermon reminds us that change is not the enemy, but neither is change the goal. Whether through familiar practices or unfamiliar experiences, what matters most is that Christ is forming us into new people. Paul’s message in Colossians 3 is clear: if we have been raised with Christ, we are called to seek the things above, put off the old self, and live as the new creation people Jesus has made us to be.
This transformation reaches every level of life: our desires, our relationships, and even the social divisions we once used to define ourselves. In Christ, the old boundaries of ethnicity, religious background, culture, and social status no longer have the final word. Christ is all, and in all.
Scripture: Colossians 3:1–11
