Overview

Welcome to our weekly reflection! There was a beautiful sense of warmth and intentionality in the sanctuary today as we gathered to explore the divine design for our closest relationships. Rev.

Message Highlights

  • The Wardrobe of Grace: Rev. McEwen drew from Colossians 3:12, emphasizing that a Christian marriage is built when both partners “clothe” themselves in compassion, kindness, humility, and patience. It isn’t just about finding the right person, but being the person Christ called us to be within the union.

  • The Umpire of Peace: Focusing on Colossians 3:15, the message highlighted how letting the “peace of Christ rule in your hearts” acts as a safeguard for the home. When we allow His peace to be the final word in our disagreements, unity follows.

Reflection

The call in Colossians 3:13 to “Bear with each other and forgive one another” stood out deeply today. In a world that often encourages us to keep a tally of wrongs, Rev. McEwen reminded us that forgiveness isn’t just a suggestion—it’s the oxygen of a Christian marriage. This scripture humbles us to remember that we are forgiven, and thus, we must extend that same grace to our spouses and family members daily.

Weekly Challenge

The “Peace Rule” Practice: This week, before responding to a moment of tension or frustration at home, pause for ten seconds and ask: “Is my next word inviting the peace of Christ into this room?”

Thank you for joining us in reflecting on this powerful message! Whether you are married, single, or navigating family transitions, these truths from Colossians apply to us all. We invite you to join us next Sunday for worship and to connect with our community on Facebook for mid-week encouragement.
