One to Another with Dr. Pete Pawelek

Pastor Pete reminds us that living for Jesus will often seem questionable to most people because it goes against the norms of the world. In Colossians 2:6-7, Paul urges believers to continue walking in Christ, rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith. This means our lives should reflect deep spiritual roots and unwavering trust in Jesus, even when others don’t understand our choices. True discipleship isn’t about fi...

Big Idea: The Christian life is a Christ-centered life.

Paul declares that everything he once valued is now considered loss compared to knowing Christ. His life’s aim is to gain Christ, be found in Him, and pursue the righteousness that comes through faith. This Christ-centered focus shapes his priorities: forgetting what is behind, pressing forward toward the goal, and striving for the prize of God’s upward call in Christ Jesus...

Big Idea: God’s will is my main priority.

Paul urges believers to live wisely, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. This means rejecting careless living and embracing intentionality. Understanding God’s will is not optional. It’s essential. Our time, decisions, and actions should reflect a heart aligned with His purposes. When God’s will becomes our priority, we live with clarity, purpose, and impact ...

Big Idea: Christ’s ambassadors carry Christ’s appeal.

As followers of Jesus, we are His representatives in the world. Paul reminds us that God is making His appeal through us, calling people to be reconciled to Him. Our mission is not just to speak about Christ but to embody His message of grace and reconciliation. This is possible because Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God...
