Part of Finding Our Way Home
Colossians 3:12-13
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Sermon Notes
Colossians 3:12-13
Father’s Day
What traits do you remember about your father?
Our lives intersect between the loads we carry and the load we release!
*Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
*Then Peter came and said to Him, Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times? Jesus, said to him, I do not say to you seven times, but up to seventy times. Matthew 18:21-22
*Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Colossians 3:13
Bear—endure with no intent to retaliate
Forgive—to extend grace beyond our feelings
To find our way home…..we must make 2 defining choices:
I will bear my load—
We are chosen by God to clothe our hearts
We are guided in our hearts by key traits
II. I will forgive—-
We release our hearts to serve effectively when we forgive
We deal with our complaints by seeing Jesus correctly
*These choices release us to an extraordinary life guided by His love
Will you make these 2 defining choices?
