So Now What_
Teachers
Lesson Summary
Clint Davison opened the class by welcoming visitors and recalling the recent 20‑something‑lesson lectureship that covered topics such as prayer, worship, leadership, marriage, and outreach. He framed the central question, "So now what?" and used the familiar experience of unpacking boxes during a move as a vivid illustration of how believers must examine what to keep, discard, or relocate in their spiritual lives. He then turned to Colossians 3:1‑2, emphasizing that Christians, raised with Christ, are called to set their hearts and minds on the things above, where Christ is seated at God's right hand. Continuing the analogy, Clint explained that just as valuable items are stored securely while junk is tossed, we must hold fast to our foundational truths, eliminate sinful habits, and thoughtfully rearrange our priorities. He reminded the congregation that baptism signifies dying to sin and being raised with Christ, underscoring the need to keep that identity at the forefront. The class concluded with an invitation to re‑engage the fire of devotion sparked during the lectureship, encouraging participants to revisit the lessons, apply them, and keep their focus on the heavenly realm.
Key Scriptures
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
