Christ cares deeply for us, has our best interest at heart in all things and longs for us to be free to live the victorious Christian life. The question is how can we be set free from the power of sin in our lives? This sermon continues to look into Colossians 3 for answers to that question.

The Bible teaches the ‘person I was’ is gone and that I am a new person in Christ. But often it doesn’t feel new because we are still struggling with sin and seem to be living far from a life of victory. Colossians 3 shows how it is possible to live a victorious Christian life.

Is it possible to be a Christian and continue to maintain a habitually sinful lifestyle? If we are dead to sin, then why do we still struggle with sin? How can we possibly live a holy life? This sermon on Colossians 3 seeks to answer those question.

This is the first sermon in the series on Choosing a Mate. Two principles are presented. The first principle is to be content as a single before you seek your mate. The second principle is to seek someone who is spiritually compatible with you.

Paul articulates, beginning in Colossians 3, how the lordship of Jesus will impact our values, attitudes and behaviors going forward. Many people embrace Jesus for what He can do for them but if they are really honest, they really have no intention to follow Him or to live for Him. The sermon begins to describes how a surrendered life would be lived.
