Weekly resources to enrich worship and learning – wherever you are

Preparing for 27 July - 2 August 2025

Genesis 18.20-32; Psalm 138; Colossians 2.6-15,(16-19); Luke 11.1-13RCL Proper 12 Year C

What really matters?

The congregation in Colossae is being pulled towards concerns about special foods and days, but Paul encourages them to keep focused on Jesus. He uses a number of images to highlight the completeness of our life in Christ.

Paul is keen to stress to the Colossians that, in a world where philosophies and fads come and go, what really matters is Christ – the one in whom the fullness of God dwells and in whom we find fullness of life. This week, we seek to place Jesus at the centre of our lives and concentrate again on the things that really matter in a world full of distractions.
