Collective Church

Today's sermon "Thankful in Peace, in Word, and in Name" focuses on Colossians 3 and the transformative power of gratitude in the life of a Christian. It emphasizes that biblical truth is meant to be lived, not just learned, and highlights three key catalysts that increase thankfulness in the believer's life.

1. The Peace of Christ
2. The Word of Christ
3. The Name of Christ

Colossians 3:17 teaches that everything believers do—whether in word or deed—should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father. Acting in Christ's name means living with a sense of purpose and intentionality, reflecting His character and mission. This transforms everyday actions into acts of worship, filled with thankfulness.

The sermon also explores how believers are called to "put to death" sinful behaviors and "put off" negative traits while "putting on" virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, and love. These actions all foster an attitude of thankfulness.
