Sermon Text: Colossians 3:18-21
[18] Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
[19] Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
[20] Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
[21] Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Initial Reflection on the Text:
1. The theme is that of harmony in the Christian home. What makes for harmony in the Christian home? How do our relationships with one another help or hinder that harmony?
2. How has this text and others that are similar been misinterpreted? How should we interpret this passage in light of the other texts that deal with the subject?
3. A great deal of emphasis has been placed in recent years on the role of wives in marriage; however, the role of the husband has seldom been treated. What is the husband's role in the marriage covenant? What kind of relationship works best between husbands and wives?
What is the Lord showing you this week? I encourage and welcome your comments on this week's text.
For His Glory!
Pastor Joe
