Christ’s Rule in Us

 1 Kings 20-21; 2 Chronicles 17; Colossians 3 

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.”

Colossians 3:15, 16

What is ruling in our lives and Churches today?

Paul encouraged the Colossians to let the peace of Christ rule in their hearts.

Who has the last word in disputes, discernment processes, or counsel?

Paul said the message of Christ should be the Word we are dwelling on, guided by, and daily meditating on.

Are we centered on Christ and finding our daily direction and counsel from Christ?

The ministry of the Spirit is to remind us of the words of Christ and counsel us in how to apply them to our lives personally and corporately so that the peace of Christ rules.

“Lord Jesus, fill my mind with your thoughts and my mouth with your songs, for your glory.”
