Sunday Service: Replacing What No Longer Fits

(01-26-2020) Ptr. Rodel dela Cruz

*Colossians 3:2
"2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

=Replacing What No Longer Fits=

-Set: to direct with specific attention (Merriam Webster Dictionary)

How To Set Your Mind on Things Above?
1. Put to death. (Colossians 3:5-6)
"5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry."
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

2. Put off. (Colossians 3:8-11)
8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

3. Put on. (Colossians 3:12-13)
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
