Kindom Impact:
The church wasn’t created to be a country club, but a driven movement of believers living on mission. We want the local church to flourish, and we are for all gospel-centered churches. We want to have an impact on our own lives, our homes, our community, our nation, and the world. We desire to see Shadowbrook plant gospel-centered churches wherever the Lord leads.
Central Passage: Colossians 1:3-14 (primary focus on verses 3-8, supplemented with 9-14)
3ÂWe always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4Âsince we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 5Âbecause of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6Âwhich has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, 7Âjust as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf 8Âand has made known to us your love in the Spirit.9ÂAnd so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10Âso as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11Âbeing strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12Âgiving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13ÂHe has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14Âin whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
