In Colossians 3:18-4:1, Paul applies the truth of the gospel to everyday relationships. After calling believers to put off the old self and put on the new, he now shows what that looks like in the home and in the workplace.
This sermon walks through some of the most challenging and often misunderstood instructions in Scripture, including submission in marriage, authority in the family, and obedience in work. Clay explains how these commands are not about control, oppression, or cultural tradition, but about living under the good authority of Jesus.
Each relationship is reshaped by the gospel. Husbands are called to love sacrificially. Wives are called to follow in a way that reflects trust in God. Parents are called to lead with wisdom and care. Children are called to obey. Workers are called to serve with sincerity, and those in authority are called to act justly and fairly.
At the center of it all is the reminder that every believer ultimately answers to Jesus. He is the true King, and living under His rule transforms how we live, work, and relate to one another.
