Fulfill Commitment

Reflect on Colossians 3:23, which encourages us to work heartily as if for the Lord. How does this verse shape your understanding of fulfilling commitments in everyday life? Share an example of a commitment in your life that you see as part of your faith journey. How does God strengthen you to keep this commitment? Thomas Watson, a well-known Puritan preacher and writer from the 17th century, said, “We have sinned with our fathers; let us not be like them, but let us repent of our repentance. Hypocrites repent that they may sin no more, and that they may sin more. True repentance begins in the love of God, and ends in the hatred of sin.” What lesson can we learn from King Asa, not removing all the high places (or places of pagan worship)? Luke 16:10 reminds us, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” How do you see this principle applying to both small and large commitments in your life? How does fulfilling small, everyday commitments build your character and prepare you for greater responsibilities? How is God calling you to engage further with what God has called us to as a church?
