Seek First: “Above Affects Below” 

[Colossians 3:1-17] 

Above Affects Below: __________________ because what you focus on will grow 

[Col. 3:1-4; Philippians 4:8-9] 

Above Affects Below: __________________for less than God’s best   

[Col. 3:5-11; 2 Corinthians 5:16-17] 

Above Affects Below: God’s best impacts our __________________ 

[Col. 3:12-17; Isaiah 55:8-9] 

• God’s best = a __________________ (humble and Holy)
• God’s best = __________________ (freely forgiving and loving)
• God’s best = a __________________ (“whatever” for Him)

Next Step Questions: 

• Are you raising your gaze in this season to see Jesus first and foremost?
• What do you need “to put off”, or “put to death”, to quit settling for less than God’s best?
• Will you put on God’s best for you and begin living on mission?
