The Christian life isn’t just about thinking differently—it’s about living differently. In this powerful Bible study from the "Christ Over Culture" series, Pastor James D. Gailliard unpacks Colossians 3:5-11 to show us what it looks like to cut away the habits, sins, and associations that no longer fit a life in Christ.
Using the Lazarus Principle (John 11:44), Pastor Gailliard explains that resurrection requires cooperation, community, and trust. We are not called to try harder, but to trust deeper.
Key takeaways from this lesson:
- Execute the enemies of your soul (vv. 5-6)
- Treat as dead what Christ has already defeated
- Rely on God’s power and the support of community
- Align your daily choices with your new identity in Christ
Listen now and learn how to purge what doesn’t fit anymore so you can live fully in the victory Jesus has already secured.
