1 The Aldersgate logo was inspired by the Love Sculpture in Philadelphia, PA., to remind us that God is Love and that Love is the Greatest Commandment. Aldersgate Our current sermon series, Hidden: Being Deeply Devoted to Jesus, has been designed to encourage us to orient our lives around the Risen Christ as individual followers and as a community of faith. One of the greatest passages of the Bible, Colossians 3:1-17, serves as the foundation of the series because these verses lead the way to a place of safety and a life of deep, abiding peace. Today s sermon, Distinction Away, is the fourth sermon in the series and focuses on verses 7-11, which you are invited to memorize as part of our Series Spiritual Practice. Scripture to Memorize this Week: Colossians 3: 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. Aldersgate United Methodist Church 1741 Sayles Blvd., Abilene, TX (325)

7 (Supporting Scriptures: Psalm 133, Luke 5:27-32, Acts 10:34-35, Acts 15:5-11, Romans 2:9-11, I Corinthians 12:136, Galatians 3:26-29) i - Getting our God narrative (our minds) right - Practicing Awareness How good and pleasant it is when God s people live together in unity! Psalm 133:1 5
8 1. What is your favorite variation of the game hide-and-seek? Do you have any memorable hide and-seek stories that you could share with your group? 2. Have you ever noticed someone quickly pulling away from you right after they met or saw you. Why do you think they retreated so quickly? How did it make you feel? 3. Was there anything about this week s message, Distinction Away, that really stuck out to you? 4. Read and reflect on Galatians 3:26-29 and Colossians 3:11. What are the similarities and the differences? What do you think Paul is saying in these passages, and what difference do they make in your life? 5. Pastor Steve talked about how one of the greatest struggles of the early church was for followers of Jesus who were different from one another to get along with and love each other. Why do you think that God is insistent that we do not allow barriers and distinctions to arise and stand between us? 6. What sort of differences in other people most quickly lead to anger in you? 7. Read Ephesians 4:26. What are some sins that can arise out of anger? What are some things that you do to keep your anger from leading to sin? How do you practically not let the sun set while you are still angry?
9 8. Pastor Steve said, Transformation ALWAYS begins as we get our minds right with and our hearts Faithfully trusting in the true nature of God. How does this strike you? Do you agree? Please explain. 9. How is your memorizing of Colossians 3:1-17 going? Go over verses 1-11 a few times together. 10. How can the members of your Growth Group pray for you this week? Colossians 3:1-17: Work on memorizing 3:1-11 this week 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. 8But 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. 12 Therefore, as God s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
