  • Summary

  • In this sermon, Pastor Bart Blair continues his exploration of God's "house rules" for relationships, building on his previous discussion of marriage. Using Colossians 3:20-4:1 as his text, he examines parent-child and employer-employee relationships.
    Blair emphasizes that Jesus should be the nucleus of all relationships, with concentric circles representing different types of relationships emanating from that center. He discusses the Biblical command for children to obey their parents, noting that this obedience transitions to honor as children become adults. For parents, particularly fathers, Blair stresses the importance of not exasperating their children and instead nurturing their God-given potential.
    Regarding work relationships, Blair applies Paul's instructions to slaves and masters to modern employer-employee dynamics. He encourages employees to work as if serving the Lord, seeing their workplace as a mission field. For employers, he stresses the importance of treating employees with fairness and compassion. Throughout, Blair emphasizes the need for all believers to embody qualities like compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience in their relationships.
