Christians on SermonAudio

This sermon concludes a study of Colossians by examining the practical outworking of Christian election in daily life. The preacher emphasizes that believers, as God's chosen ones, must put on virtues such as mercy, kindness, and above all, charity, which serves as the bond of perfection. Key theological themes include the necessity of forgiveness modeled after Christ, the indwelling peace of God, and the authority of Scripture in governing thoughts and actions. The text also addresses specific relational duties within households, urging submission and love while explicitly condemning abuse. Ultimately, the message asserts that all conduct should be performed heartily for the Lord, reflecting the truth that God shows no partiality.

The Apostle Paul stands before King Agrippa and Governor Festus, shifting his legal defense from personal innocence to the central truth of Christ's death and resurrection. While Festus dismisses the message as madness due to its incompatibility with pagan worldview, Paul asserts that the gospel is rational sober truth. He challenges Agrippa directly regarding belief in the prophets, highlighting the king's evasive response to the call for faith. The sermon emphasizes that the Christian message demands a personal response rather than mere intellectual curiosity or spectatorship. Ultimately, it calls believers to faithfully proclaim this life-giving truth and urgently invite others to believe.

Many Christians feel disconnected from the life of the local church because of discouragement, spiritual drift, busyness, disappointment, or church hurt. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains from Luke 15, Matthew 16, Ephesians 2, Hebrews 10, and 1 Corinthians 12 that the grace of God restores wandering believers and brings them into fellowship with Christ's people. Christ loves His church, is building His church, and uses the gathered life of His people as a means of grace for spiritual growth, encouragement, accountability, and perseverance. If you have wandered, you are not too far gone. Christ still welcomes weary and wounded believers home.
