Let the Word of Christ Dwell Richly

“There’s a difference between a church that talks about the Bible and one where the word of Christ actually moves in.”

Sermon Summary

Most of us keep Jesus in the hallway — a nice portrait for guests to see — while quietly keeping Him out of the dining room, the study, and the bedroom. When Paul told the Colossians to let the word of Christ dwell in them richly, he was describing what the early church actually did when they gathered before dawn: they sang hymns to Christ as to God and taught one another the whole, unsearchable riches of who He is. The gospel is not that Jesus is a shepherd boy we admire from the hall, but that the image of the invisible God, the one in whom all things hold together, has come to take up residence in every room.

Learn what "the word of Christ" truly means, where it's meant to live, and how a church lets Him move in richly rather than dwell poorly.
