Fairview Christian Church

We all want a fruitful life that makes a difference, but here's the tension: most of us are living with one foot in our old kingdom and one foot in Christ's kingdom. The result? Division, aimlessness, and drift.

Paul reminds us in Colossians 1:21-23 that we've been reconciled and presented holy before God through Jesus. But this comes with a calling—to remain steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel. The mission isn't perfection; it's daily pursuit. It's choosing to put off anger, malice, and self-seeking, and put on compassion, kindness, humility, and forgiveness.

Here's your mission: whatever you do—in retirement, in your career, with your kids, in your passions—do it ALL in the name of Jesus (Colossians 3:17). Let the peace of Christ rule your heart. Let His word dwell in you richly. You're not just drifting through life anymore. You're on mission for the King.

What passion has Jesus given you? Live it for Him today.

See you soon!

Ever felt like you're trying to live in two worlds at once? Like one foot is in your old life and one is in the new life Christ offers? You're not alone in that struggle.

This week we explored Colossians 1:13 - how Jesus has "delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved son." It's not about trying harder or managing sin better. It's about recognizing you've been relocated to an entirely new kingdom with new rules: grace instead of shame, security instead of fear, abundance instead of scarcity.

The battle to trust this new reality is real and daily. But here's the truth: your old self isn't your truest identity anymore. The person Jesus is shaping you into - that's who you really are. Embrace small wins. When you fall short, get back up. His love, mercy, and grace are on repeat for you.

You've been transferred. Now choose to live like it.
