Hope in Heaven: Revolutionary Household Codes

Elm City Vineyard Church Talks

When Paul wrote to the church of Colassae, perhaps Paul wondered, “What if tomorrow, different households became faithful witnesses to the person of Jesus in all that they do? What would our world look like with multiple homes on fire with the Holy Spirit?” Paul’s ancient letter to the Colossians encourages the church of Colassae to dwell with Jesus’ teachings, clothing themselves with what they have received from God and encouraging them to practice this first in their household. This Sunday, Kim and all of us will be in wonder: How can we be faithful witnesses through mutual submission under Jesus in the context of today's power structures?

Stories are so important to our culture. Whether it’s the story of our country or our family or even our favorite novel, stories have the power to ground us, inspire us, and give us hope. This summer, we’ll be studying the letter to the Colossians that hones in on a really important story for all of humanity: the Gospel (or good news) of Jesus. This Gospel story isn’t only in the Bible. It’s happening. Paul says it’s even connected to hope laid up in heaven for us. Need some more hope this summer? Come and get your fill from a story you can join.
