Bible Text: Colossian 3:12-16 | Preacher: Toby Mak | Series: Stand-alone messages | “What do you want?”

As James KA Smith suggests in his book You Are What You Love, that may be a fundamental question of discipleship you may not be asking. It was Jesus’ first words as recorded in the Gospel of John and it’s the question we need to ask ourselves. What we want and desire – what we love – is a the core of our being, driving our choices and habits:
If you are what you love, and love is a habit, then discipleship is a rehabituation of your loves. This mean that discipleship is more a matter of reformation than of acquiring information.
