Pastor’s Message
Pastor Gary Whitlatch will share a message from Colossians 3.
Colosians 3:12-17, written by the apostle Paul and inspired by the Holy Spirit, is a beautiful portion of Scripture that calls on God’s people to put on a heart of compassion and bear with one another, forgiving, just as the Lord forgave them.
Paul describes love as the perfect uniting bond between God’s people. He tells them to allow the peace of Christ to be the decision maker in their life. Colossians 3:18-25 is referred to as the “Christian Home” guide for followers of Christ. In these verses tenderness and kindness is the theme for how wives, husbands, children and parents are instructed to conduct themselves in a manner pleasing to the Lord with the inheritance of the Lord as their ultimate reward.
