Christ in the Home | Colossians 3:18-4:1
Aaron Gray | February 23, 2020

Sermon Description
At the end of chapter 3, Paul and Timothy turn their attention to the Christian household, giving instructions for husbands, wives, and children in light of what Jesus has done for us. In fact, the family exists—in the ultimate sense—to live out a demonstration of the gospel.


Discussion Questions

  2. Regardless of your gender, family status, etc., where does God want you to grow: love, submission, obedience, graciousness? What practical steps can you take in obedience?

  3. How does the family and its various roles all serve to point to Jesus? How is the gospel our foundation for a healthy, loving family life?

  4. How does the gospel motivate you to want to go and invite others into the family of God?

Prayer Points
