Don't Settle For Less: Colossians 3:18–4:1

Sermon Notes

Welcome to week eight of our Colossians series! This week we're in Colossians 3:18–4:1, and it's all about the "house rules" as followers of Christ. It's like a guidebook for living well. We're going to see how spouses, parents, and workers are supposed to live in light of being Christ-followers.

The main idea is that we should treat everyone with care and kindness, whether we're at home or work. The Bible says we should love each other and work hard, not just for rewards here on Earth, but to please God. So, let's remember to be kind and loving in everything we do, whether it's at home with our families or at work with our co-workers!
