Sunday Reflections

We are in the second week of our sermon series entitled, "Stressed" and the Lord is already doing a work in us. We talked about friendships and intimacy yesterday morning and spent some time talking about removing our masks. Here is the sermon text (Col. 3: 12-17) and a few of the points that were discussed during the sermon:


12So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

13bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

14Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

16Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

17Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Meditation on Col. 3:12-17. What does it mean to put on Christ as we "do life together"?

~ you have to put on:
... a heart of compassion
... kindness
... humility
... gentleness
... patience

~ we must do these things:
... bear with one another
... forgiving each other
... put on LOVE


It's lonely behind the masks that we wear because we start to wonder if people like us or the person we pretend to be.

I love our church
I love our people
I love our team
I love what He is doing in us
I love what He is doing through us
I love that He is not done with us
