Discussion Questions:

Spiritual growth is as simple as planting our life in Jesus and remaining there, keeping the main thing the main thing. What was threatening to distract the Colossians from this truth? What distracts us?
Paul critiques a spiritually that’s so obsessed with what the human head can do that it loses its ability to cling to the Head who actually gives growth. Is it possible for us to so emphasize knowledge and experience that we lose sight of the main thing? Discuss.
Growth in Christlikeness and putting the flesh to death happens through a daily embrace of our death. What does that mean, and what should it look like in our lives?
Keeping Jesus the main thing, front and center, is easier said than done. It’s even harder if we’re not embedded in the body of Jesus. In what ways can we encourage and challenge each other toward this goal?
