Transformed by the Gospel: A Study of Colossians
Sundays at Village Church | Fall 2025
Real change is possible through the gospel.
The gospel doesn’t just give hope for future salvation — it transforms our present lives.
In his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul shows us what it means to be united with Christ and how that identity reshapes everything in our lives.
He tells us that because we have died with Christ and been raised with Him, our old self is gone, and a new life has begun. And it’s a new life that transforms our minds, habits, relationships, and purpose in the world.
Paul reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about following rules or reaching for spiritual achievement. It’s about being rooted in Christ and letting His word dwell richly in us. When we do that, we are empowered and motivated to put off our old ways and adopt Christ-like character.
Through the transforming power of the gospel, we can live daily in light of the grace we’ve received.
This fall, join us for a sermon series through the book of Colossians that we’re calling Transformed by the Gospel.
Let’s study God’s Word together and grow into the kind of people God has made us to be — people who are daily changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
