In this powerful exploration of Colossians 3:22-4:1, we're challenged to reframe our understanding of work and service. The passage, originally addressing slaves and masters, speaks profoundly to our modern work relationships. We're reminded that no matter our earthly position, we're ultimately working for Christ. This perspective shift transforms our approach to work - from eye-service to heart-service, from grudging compliance to joyful excellence. The message emphasizes that our work ethic reflects our view of God, encouraging us to pursue excellence in all tasks, seen or unseen. It's a call to integrity, reminding us that God sees beyond outward appearances to our hearts and motivations. This teaching invites us to find purpose and dignity in our work, knowing that our true reward comes from the Lord, not earthly masters. It's a powerful reminder that in all circumstances, we can serve with sincerity, knowing that we're ultimately serving Christ.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the immense challenges and joys of parenting, viewed through a spiritual lens. The sermon emphasizes that while we strive to raise our children in godly ways, ultimately their hearts can only be transformed by God. We're encouraged to replace hopeless self-talk with unceasing prayer, understanding that parenting is a journey best undertaken on our knees. The message draws from Colossians 3:20-21, highlighting the delicate balance between teaching obedience and not embittering our children. We're challenged to create habits and routines that foster spiritual growth, such as prioritizing Bible reading before screen time and making family mealtimes a sacred space. This practical approach to spirituality reminds us that our daily habits shape our love for God and others. As we navigate the complexities of discipline and correction, we're called to reflect God's love and grace, always pointing our children towards the transformative power of the Gospel.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the vital importance of teaching our children to obey God in everything. The central scripture, Colossians 3:20-21, emphasizes the divine command for children to obey their parents, which ultimately pleases the Lord. This teaching isn't just about rules; it's about cultivating a heart that seeks to please God in all areas of life. We're challenged to consider the profound truth that our very existence is a gift from God, and our response should be one of grateful obedience. The message draws interesting parallels between parental discipline and God's loving correction, showing how both lead to peace and righteousness. As we reflect on our own lives, we're encouraged to embrace the discipline of consistently training our children, recognizing that this task requires God's grace and constant prayer. This message speaks to all of us, reminding us that whether we're parents or not, we're all called to a life of obedience that brings joy to our Heavenly Father.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to pursue godliness with every fiber of our being. The sermon delves into 2 Peter 1, emphasizing that God has already given us everything we need for life and godliness. Yet paradoxically, we're called to make every effort to supplement our faith with virtues like knowledge, self-control, and love. This tension between God's provision and our responsibility is at the heart of sanctification - our lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ. The message reminds us that true faith is never static; it's always growing, always increasing. We're encouraged to view our spiritual walk as a constant upstream battle against the currents of the world, where stopping means drifting backward. This perspective urges us to continually strive for holiness, not out of obligation, but out of love for the One who has cleansed us from our former sins.
Message from Caleb Crittendon on December 29, 2024
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound joy that sustained Jesus through His ultimate sacrifice. The central theme revolves around Hebrews 12:2, which speaks of Christ enduring the cross 'for the joy set before Him.' This joy was twofold: pleasing His Father and qualifying us for heaven. As we prepare our hearts for the Lord's Supper, we're challenged to consider the depth of Christ's love and commitment. The story of Marie Duran, imprisoned for 38 years for her faith, serves as a poignant parallel to Christ's endurance. Just as Marie and her fellow prisoners etched 'resist' above their cell door, we too are called to persevere in our faith, fixing our eyes on Jesus. This message encourages us to reflect on our own 'race' - the unique purpose God has for each of our lives - and to run it with the same unwavering focus on joy that Jesus demonstrated.
