This sermon delves into Colossians 3:18-4:1, examining Paul's household code concerning wives, husbands, children, fathers, bondservants, and masters. It explores the ancient Greco-Roman context of these instructions, particularly the concept of the paterfamilias, and challenges traditional interpretations by highlighting Paul's radical call for Christ-like mutuality, self-emptying love, and an end to harshness within relationships. The message encourages listeners to consider how these ancient words can inspire healthier, more equitable, and compassionate relationships in the 21st century, even when facing relational ambivalence or societal norms that differ from the past. Discover how faith can lead us to "go further" in embodying the transformative love of Jesus in our daily lives.
