In follow-up to last week’s message, “where have your feet been, lately?” (i.e. where has God been leading you to communicate your faith this past week in some tangible, personable way?)
 
The Colossians were at a “cross roads” of sorts.  As new cultural/world influences were brought into Colossae, the Christians there had an opportunity to ministry at each and every intersection of life and culture.  Which “cross roads” has the Holy Spirit brought you to, recently?  In other words, where do you see your path consistently crossing with that of someone else?  Could it be that God is inviting you to step into the intersection, to share your faith in some way?
 
Where do you most often find yourself experiencing pressure from the world/society to live up to its standards of “good” and “religious”?  How do those pressures clash with what God’s Word shares about “works” and “salvation”?  (See Romans 3:21-24 and Ephesians 2:8-9)
