Out with the Old, In with the New Colossians 3:1–17

As followers of Christ, we are called to live from the reality of the resurrection. Colossians 3:1–17 challenges us to set our hearts on things above and to put to death the old patterns that pull us back into sin. This sermon examines three practical steps for spiritual renewal: seek the risen life (v.1–4), shed the old self and its deeds (v.5–11), and clothe yourselves with the new self—compassion, kindness, humility, patience, and above all, love (v.12–17). When we exchange anger, malice, and falsehood for forgiveness, peace, and Christ-centered unity, our homes, churches, and community begin to reflect God’s transforming power. Come ready to repent, recommit, and receive the grace to live new lives that honor Jesus.
