Clothed as God’s People

Colossians 3 is filled with teaching about how to live as a Christian. This morning we will look at the teachings of the apostle Paul in verses 1-17.

First, we must set our hearts on things above and not on earthly things.

Second, we must put to death whatever belongs to our earthly nature.

Third, we must clothe ourselves with certain godly virtues.

Fourth, we must have peace with one another and teach and encourage one another.

Fifth, we must do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and give thanks to the Father through Him.

Welcome Visitors! As our guest, we want you to know that we are honored to have you join us for worship today. We have a nursery provided beside the foyer for parents with infants or toddlers. We also have a live video feed to our annex building. Please complete a visitor’s card and place it in the collection plate as it is passed. There is also a place on the back for anyone to submit prayer requests. If you have a cell phone or pager, we ask that you please put it on silent or turn it off during worship. If you have any questions about anything you’ve heard, if you’d like to request a bible study, or wish to know more about the Groveton Church of Christ, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help you.
