Colossians 3:1 — Seek Those Things Which Are Above

In this concluding message of a three-part sermon trilogy, Ruling Elder Aaron Vanderhorst calls believers to a life shaped by union with Christ and nourished through communion with Christ. Building on the earlier sermons: Only One Thing Needful (Luke 10) and Looking Unto Jesus (Hebrews 12), this sermon unpacks the call of Apostle Paul to “set your minds on things above, where Christ is.”

Through Colossians 3:1–17 and the rich teaching of the Heidelberg Catechism (Q&A 48 & 49), the sermon explores:

• The need for being heavenly-minded

• The nature of a heavenly-minded life

• The practice of living with our hearts set above

• The comfort of Christ’s ascension and His ongoing intercession for us in heaven

Rooted in Scripture and the Reformed confessions, this message invites listeners to reorient their lives around the risen and ascended Christ, whose presence and power shape the Christian’s daily walk.
