Sermon

Center Church
Speaker: Justin Leitch
June 5, 2023 · 48 min
Summary
Colossians 3:18–4:1 teaches that relationships flourish when Jesus is placed first. The pastor explains what this looks like in marriage (wives submit, husbands sacrificially love), parenting (children obey, parents disciple), and work (employees serve heartily, employers treat justly).
Highlights
Your relationships will work best when you put Jesus first. You don't put yourself first, you don't put the other person first, you don't put anything else first, but your relationships will work best when you put Jesus first.
You do relationships Jesus way because you trust Jesus more than yourself. Do you trust him?
We measure the compassion of God by the cross. He gave himself for us. These commands are not there to use us. These commands are there for our flourishing and our benefit.
