Sermon Recap: “Does Gravity Got You Down?”

If you missed this timely, encouraging message, or need to revisit its practical truths, we encourage you to watch the full sermon!


What This Message Was About

Pastor (Name) preached from Colossians 3:1–4, showing how the “gravity” of our flesh and the pull of this world constantly try to keep us earthbound, distracted, and spiritually heavy. But God calls us to set our minds like concrete on the things above so we can walk in freedom, victory, and heavenly perspective even while living in this world.


Key Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss

Gravity Keeps Us Down

  • Just as physical gravity keeps us on earth, the flesh continually tries to pull us away from God’s purposes.

  • The flesh is in constant conflict with the Spirit; there is no neutral ground.

  • Even when we are born again, a battle begins between the flesh and the Spirit that will continue until we are with the Lord.

Set Your Mind Like Concrete

  • Colossians 3 commands us to “set” our minds on things above, like concrete that hardens and cannot be moved.

  • Many Christians struggle because they have never fully settled in their hearts that they will live for God, regardless of circumstances.

  • As we grow closer to God, desires for the things of the world begin to lose their grip.

Look Up and Live

  • Just as astronauts are free from gravity in space, Christians can live above the pull of the flesh by setting their affections on Christ.

  • “When these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)

  • Looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, is the key to running our race with endurance and joy.

We Must Decrease, He Must Increase

  • As Jesus increases in our lives, the desires of the flesh decrease.

  • We participate in this by denying ourselves, repenting of sin, and seeking the Lord, while God supplies the power to change us from the inside out.

Freedom From Earthbound Living

  • The devil wants to keep believers living like “earthlings,” weighed down by fear, shame, sin, and distractions.

  • God saves us to free us from the grip of this world and enable us to live with heavenly perspective.

  • When we set our minds on things above, the shadows of this world lose their power over us.
