Colossians Series Week 12 | Speaker Brandon Reed | August 20th, 2023

We are wrapping up our time in the letter of Colossians this week, and these 95 verses over the course of 4 chapters have been so life shaping, but Paul hasn’t finished until he signs the letter himself. He writes, “I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.” (Colossians 4:18) But there is a deeply personal connection that he tags to his letter to Colossians. When Paul sent this letter to be read to the church in Colossae, he also had a message for a man named Philemon that is so deeply intertwined in what we need to hear today. We love that our church is home for the wanderer. We are a place of rest for the weary. We pray for and hope expectantly for Jesus to restore all things, and honestly, the restoration of all things can seem like a daunting task that Jesus has invited us into. But what if we told you that the restoration of all things begins in our own homes, in our place of work, on the waves we surf? The restoration of all things begins in the relationships we hold dear. Restoration begins with relationships.
