Text: Colossians 3:1-17


We all face a battle of the mind. What is this battle and how do we win it?

I. Poisons

    1) Self-Centeredness

    2) The World

II. The Prescription (vs. 2) - "Set your mind on things above." - Our Focus is to be up not down.

    1) Things above - Christ - because that is where he is and because of what he's done for us.

    2) His Right to Rule. - "seated at the right hand of God"

              His position - he has the right to rule in our lives. (Matthew 6:19-21)

III. Hindrances - Sin is the hindrance to right thinking.

    1) Our own body (vs.5-7)

    2) Sin against others (vs.8-9)

IV. Action

    1) Focus on our attitude toward others (vs. 12-14)

    2) Focus on the Lord (vs. 15-17)

          a. recognize him as Lord.

          b. recognize his sovereignty

          c. In whatever I do, I do it all in the name of the Lord.
