Sermon Outline

Too Close for Comfort

Colossians 3:12–17, Ephesians 5:22-28

I. Up close and very personal

a. Discipleship is proven in ordinary relationships - in how we treat other people.

b. One of the greatest tests of our discipleship is living with the people closest to us.

c. The opposite is also true...the greatest test of THEIR discipleship is living with you and me.

II. Wisdom from the Word

a. Colossians 3:12-17

b. We are God’s chosen...holy and dearly loved.

c. Loved people love people.

d. Paul tells us...clothe yourselves...get dressed.

e. Compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

f. Galatians 5:22-23

g. Bear with each other...literally...put up with each other.

h. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

i. PUT ON love. Choose to love. Choose to BE loving.

j. A person of peace or a person of DRAMA

k. Our richest life comes as we learn from each other and grow together.

III. Discipleship at home

a. No one else is going to make your marriage special or important.

b. Discipleship is proven in ordinary relationships - nowhere is it more important than in our marriages.

c. We must work to build each other up in our faith, prayer, mutual standards

d. Ephesians 5:22-28 - Wives submit, husbands love.
