Colossians: Faith Under Pressure - Message 14

Having a wedding is easy, but living together afterward is the real challenge! This Mother's Day, discover how God's original, counter-cultural design for marriage can transform your relationship and turn your home into a powerful reflection of the Gospel.In this special Mother's Day message from our "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure" series, Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks unpacks Colossians 3:18-19 to reveal what a truly Christ-centered marriage looks like. Shifting from Christian doctrine to daily relationship duty, the Apostle Paul provides a radical blueprint for husbands and wives. We learn that a successful biblical marriage takes more than just two people; it requires keeping Jesus Christ as the supreme head of the household.We dive deep into God's design for wives—respectful submission—and unpack how it is an empowering choice based on function, not value. Women are equal, divine image-bearers of God, and their faithful influence in the home is profound. For the husbands, the call is sacrificial, agape love. Men are challenged to step up as loving servant-leaders, elevating their spouse's needs, exercising self-control to avoid harshness, and becoming the "lead repenters" of their homes.Whether you are married, single and looking toward the future, or in need of a fresh start after past relationship failures, this sermon provides a grace-filled look at how mutual respect and unconditional love can mirror the Gospel in your everyday life.00:00 - Welcome, Worship, & The Power of Praise01:19 - Happy Mother's Day: Honoring the Women in Our Lives05:30 - Message Begins: Transitioning from Orthodoxy to Orthopraxy07:15 - Marriage is Easy; Living Together is Tough11:15 - God's Design for Wives: Respectful Submission14:33 - Understanding Submission: It's About Function, Not Value17:00 - Biblical Submission is a Choice & An Exercise of Faith26:52 - A Biblical Marriage Mirrors the Gospel28:06 - God's Command for Husbands: Sacrificial Love31:20 - Elevating Your Spouse's Needs & Being Present36:22 - Headship is Loving Leadership, Not Dictatorship41:18 - It Takes Three: Keeping Christ at the Center43:49 - Closing Prayer & Altar Call for Families#Colossians #FaithUnderPressure #ChristianMarriage #MothersDay #GodlyRelationshipsONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.
