Epic Church: All in All (Colossians 3:1-11)

SERIES: All In All

TEXT: Colossians 3:1-11

SYNOPSIS: We are all shaped by the narratives in which live. The "American Dream," for instance, is one such story. The "good evangelical Christian" is another. These meta-narratives that we inhabit influence the values, practices, and contours of our lives. These narratives determine the kind of people we become. The Apostle Paul entreats the Colossians to live in the story of Christ (his life, death, and resurrection) as opposed to the story of the Empire, which he calls "that life" on "earth" with its "old self." Both Christ and Empire present visions of the good life. Both promise security, peace, and well-being. But which is which? What is the litmus test?  Paul says to look at our relationships, our community, the kind of people we are becoming.
