Colossians 3:1-11 "Now What? Part 1"

Last week Paul said don't be deceived, don't be cheated by the empty philosophies of this world. The believers in Colosse after hearing this may have asked what then should our lives be focused on and how should we live our lives? Paul sought to answer that by first telling them to get their eyes on their eternity. Then he gave several things that we as believers should put to death in our lives...how do we do that? By the power of God's Spirit at work in our lives and this week we'll discuss why we can overcome our sinful nature in Christ.
