#17 “Jesus is Enough”

Colossians 3:18-4:1

These questions are based on Colossians 3:18 and the sermon preached on 9/20/26 at Crossroads Church in Turlock, CA.

Please don’t feel the need to get through all the questions. The goal is not to get through all of them, but rather to have a meaningful time of discussion and encouragement.

Read Colossians 3:18

1.    What stood out to you most from the sermon or any of the Bible passages from Sunday?

2.    If you have a church background, what are some of the ways you have heard the principle of wives submitting to their husbands taught? If you don’t have a church background, did you know that is what the Bible says? If so, what did you think about that?

3.    In the beginning of the sermon, Chris took some time to explain the cultural reality of the First Century regarding the position of the wife in society and in the household. Was there something that really stood out to you about that? Did it bring clarity to what Paul was actually saying in Colossians 3:18-4:1?

4.    Read Ephesians 5:22-32. What are the benefits of men and women taking on their God given roles in marriage? What can it do for society?

5.    At the end of the day, there are Two Ways to order your marriage: The World’s Way or The Gospel’s Way. One leads to a power struggle, the other leads to mutual self-service. How do you see these two realities working themselves out in the world today in marriages and society at large? 

6.    Pray for the marriages or the future marriages in the group.
