Sermon Preview: Colossians 3:20-21

2011 | by Trent Hunter | Category: Sermon Preview

In Colossians 3:18-21, Paul gives a number of specific commands to Christians concerning their various roles in the context of the home. Ryan’s last sermon in our series through Colossians, “Restoring Marriage,” addressed the relationship and responsibilities of husbands and wives from Colossians 3:18-19.

After a month break from our series, this Sunday we return to Colossians with Colossians 3:20-21, where Paul writes concerning the relationship and responsibilities of parents and children: “Children, obey your parents  in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.”

Given that this Sunday is also Mother’s Day, in addition to considering the biblical relationship between parents and children, we will acknowledge God’s good gift of mothers and the privilege of motherhood.
