Below please find the video of my sermon from this past Sunday. It was the first Sunday after Christmas and this Sunday I did use the Lectionary for the sermon. The Scripture covered was Colossians 3:12-21.
Colossians 3:12-21 (NRSV)
12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord[f] has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ[g] dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.[h] 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is your acceptable duty in the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart.
I am planning, beginning this coming Sunday pursuing a path through the Epistle of James. James is one of my favorite letters and one that I personally believe is one of the earliest bits of scripture in the New Testament. I'm one of those that is of the opinion that the letter was very likely penned by no other than James the Just, the brother of Christ himself.
It should be a good Sermon series though I'm not sure how many Sundays it will take to get through the letter. We'll give it as many weeks as it needs, it has much to benefit us as followers of Christ.
Please stop back and watch the videos of the James series, until then I hope you enjoy the sermon from this past Sunday.
God's Love & Grace!
