We finish our series in Colossians 3 by examining Colossians 3:22–4:1. Is Jesus Your Life At Work? In this passage, Paul talks about the relationship between masters and slaves but as we apply it to our context today, we will discuss how we can magnify the Lord at work. Now, more than ever, people view work as a dread and a curse resulting from the fall. This is not true! Work existed before the fall and we can find great joy in our work if our hearts are focused on pleasing the Lord through it!

Paul gives A Message To Women in Colossians 3:18: “Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.” Submission is the theme as the Lord calls on all wives to submit to their husbands as if they are submitting to the Lord directly. Submission should not be viewed as a prison or some lesser role or responsibility, but rather as the greatest expression of your devotion to Christ and your husband.

we continue in Colossians 3:15–17 as we consider Part 2 on how Christians Are Different. In a world filled with anger and war, Christians are controlled by peace as we follow the Prince of Peace. In a discontent, ungrateful, and never-satisfied culture, Christians are marked by thankfulness! Believers stand out as different from the world when the word of Christ lives deep in our hearts and drives everything we do, say, and think.

We continue in Colossians 3:10–14 as Paul will lay out how Christians Are Different. True Christianity is not just a list of negative do-nots but as we look to Christ, who is our life, we are also encouraged to put on the new self! This passage will remind us of our identity in Christ, the amazing grace He has lavished upon us, and His incredible love which drives us to become more like Him.
