A Devoted Church

This week at Ascend, Pastor Mitch continues our Letters to Ascend series by looking at Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9–14—a prayer for a young church to grow in maturity through personal devotion.

Last week, we talked about being a multiplying church. This week, we turn to maturation—what it means to grow deeper in Christ. Paul’s prayer for the church in Colossae is the same prayer we need today at Ascend: that we would be a people who worship, walk, work, and witness for the glory of Christ.

A Prayer for a Maturing Church

Worship: Filled with the knowledge of God’s will

Walk: Living in a way worthy of Christ

Work: Bearing fruit through His power

Witness: Giving thanks for His saving grace

As we approach our two-year anniversary, this prayer is our foundation: that Ascend Bible Church would not just be about growth in numbers, but growth in devotion—personally and corporately.
