A few years ago, I heard a sermon on Colossians 4, where Paul calls out a bunch of disciples individually by name, for both good and bad. For most of the people listed, that's the only record we have of who they were and what specific thing Paul identifies them with. The challenge to us in the congregation was: what would have been written about us? What's our engagement in the Body locally? Are we truly using our gifts--or do we need to step it up?

The ripple effect!
