Colossians 3:12-17
“Let the Peace of God Rule in Your Heart”
Be careful about thinking too much about how you feel. Seek to please Jesus.
Don’t just be a Christian when you fel like it – keep your hope in God in all situations.
What’s ruling you…what is your umpire in life?
Is the peace of God ruling your emotions? Is how you feel, ok with God?
Conversations can go where they are not supposed to if emotions rule you instead of Jesus.
Do all in the name of Christ – Jesus wouldn’t mind putting His name to it.
Honor Christ with your life…troubles, good times, hardships, everything.
Does your life honor God?
What you desire to do is what will motivate you.
Malachi 1:9-14
Be careful if serving the Lord becomes a weariness to you.
The Lord should get, and expects, your best efforts.
Get excited about Christ, or expect to find yourself heading in the wrong direction.
Love more, care more, involve yourself more in things that please the Lord.
What are you going to do in the name of Christ?
Some people may not live for Christ, but want only to be classified as a Christian.
Have the right attitude and be thankful for being able to live for Jesus.
