Cru SSU - Student LinC

Good afternoon, Student LinCers! Let's begin this Sunday by immersing ourselves in the uplifting words of Colossians 3:16 (NIV): "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." What a beautiful reminder to let the transformative message of Christ permeate every aspect of our lives. As we gather, whether virtually or in person, let's create an atmosphere where the Word dwells richly among us, inspiring wisdom, teaching, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude through worship.

This Sunday, as we engage in fellowship and worship, let's purposefully cultivate an environment where the Word of God is not just heard but embraced and lived out. In our conversations, let's share the wisdom found in Scripture. In our songs, let's lift up melodies of gratitude to God. Together, let's create a space where the message of Christ is not confined to a moment but dwells richly, shaping our hearts and actions throughout the week.

As we bid farewell to the closing pages of January, let's embrace the empowering words of Philippians 3:13-14: "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

In these verses, the apostle Paul encourages us to adopt a forward-looking perspective. As January concludes, we may reflect on the highs and lows of the month, but let's not linger there. Instead, let's echo Paul's resolve—forgetting what is behind and pressing on toward the greater purpose God has for us. January was just the beginning of a new chapter. Whatever challenges or victories we faced, let them propel us forward with a renewed determination to pursue the goals and calling God has placed in our hearts.
