In the opening of Colossians, the Holy Spirit through Paul, communicates three qualities that God delights in when he looks upon the church: a church that delights in discipleship (v. 3-6), a church with faithful ministers of the gospel (v.7-8, 1 & 2), and a church praying for Christ to actively work in their midst according to his will (v. 9-14). While these qualities invite us to evaluate our expectations of the church, we hope they will inspire us to delight in Christ's will and shape our hearts and habits as a congregation as we strive to grow in Christ this summer.
