Colossians 4:7-18
We exist to Proclaim and Display Jesus
Big Idea: God uses a social network to sustain and expand His Kingdom.
Key Phrase: Partnerships in the Gospel (Philippians 1:5)
*The Gospel (Good News of Jesus) is displayed through a Social
Network called the Body of Christ. Christianity is a public and corporate reality (not private and individualistic).
Good Partnerships are:
A. Personal- you deal with real people, in real places
B. Faithful- you can depend on them
C. Humble- you can respect them
D. Enlightening- you avoid out-of-sight, out-of-mind

F. Reconcilable- you experience restoration
G. Diverse- you value one another

L. Evangelistic- you proclaim and display Jesus’ Grace
The Results:
1. Sustain (Endurance)
2. Expand (Multiplied Impact)
