Sermons on Submission
Shepherding & Submission
One of the major themes that Peter has dealt with in his letter is the Christian’s response to authority. For much of chapters 2 and 3, he made it clear that our humble response to human authority will be a telling demonstration of the power of the gospel. Now, as he prepares to close his letter, Peter instructs his readers with their response to one another in the…

Work to the Glory of God
Over the last month or so, we have looked at God’s design for the family, and how our obedience is an act of worship. This week we move from the home into the workplace. Paul addresses bondservants and masters in Colossians 3:22-4:1. While the social construct is very different, there is great value in thinking through our biblical response to authority. Each of us…
Family for the Glory of God, Part 1: WIVES
As we work through Colossians 3, we have seen a number of ways that believers are called to live in light of their faith in Christ. We are to be a people who are kind and compassionate, humble and patient, meek and forgiving. We are called to be loving and peaceful in the midst of a world that is anything but loving and peaceful. This kind of change is only possible…
