    GRWM: Let the Word Dwell (Sutton)

    Are there places in your life that you desperately hope nobody ever sees? Most of us have them. The messy storage spaces. The hidden habits. The rooms we keep closed and hope no one notices. The problem is that we often try to renovate those areas ourselves. We play “Fixer Upper” with our lives, knocking down walls and making changes, convinced we know what we’re doing. But more often than not, we just create a bigger mess. The key to real change isn’t trying harder—it’s finally letting Jesus have full access to the messy parts. In this message from Colossians 3:16, we’ll discover what it means to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly and why lasting transformation happens when we stop trying to manage our own renovation project and allow Jesus to have the run of the house. If we’re going to take off the old self and put on the new, we have to give Jesus access to every room, every door, and every part of our lives. We also have to allow God’s people into our lives as we teach, encourage, and challenge one another with wisdom and love. In this message, we’ll explore: • What Paul means by “the Word of Christ” • How spiritual growth happens from the inside out • Why Bible reading, meditation, and Scripture memory are essential for transformation • The role of Christian community in discipleship • What it means to teach and admonish one another with wisdom • How to move from surface-level faith to a deep, structurally sound life built on Scripture • The 3 M’s of spiritual growth: Meet, Meditate, and Memorize If you’ve ever felt stuck spiritually, tired of trying to fix yourself, or hesitant to let others see the real you, this message is for you. This message is part of our Get Ready With Me series, where we’re exploring what it looks like to get ready with Jesus every day and follow Him faithfully. Scripture List: Colossians 3.15-16

    GRWM: What Binds Us Together (Sutton)
