Spiritual Spring Cleaning: Tossing Out Your Inner Hoarder of Bad Habits. Shedding Your Old Self Like Last Season’s Fashion Disaster.
Scripture Reading
Introduction to Colossians 3:1-11
Hey there, friends! Today we’re diving into a passage that’s all about transformation – and I’m not talking about those late-night infomercials promising to turn you into a fitness model overnight. No, we’re looking at something much more powerful and lasting: the transformation that comes from focusing our hearts and minds on Christ.
The Events in Colossians 3:1-11
In this letter to the Colossians, Paul is addressing a church that’s struggling with some false teachings. He’s reminding them – and us – about the incredible new life we have in Christ. It’s like we’ve been given a spiritual reset button, and Paul’s encouraging us to make the most of it by aligning our thoughts and actions with our new identity in Jesus.
Colossians 3:1-11 (NIV)
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Sarah had been a Christian for years, but something was missing. She went to church, read her Bible, and prayed, but still felt disconnected from God. Then one day, while studying Colossians 3, everything clicked.
She realized she’d been so focused on earthly concerns that she’d forgotten to “set her mind on things above.” As Sarah began to shift her perspective, her entire life transformed. Her relationships improved, her purpose became clear, and her joy overflowed. Now, she can’t wait to share this life-changing insight with others.
