Christ Over Everything - ColossiansSample

Theme: Let Christ Rule Your Heart

Paul continues with a vision for daily life rooted in Christ’s peace, Word, and gratitude. He says to let the peace of Christ rule in your heart. That means allowing God’s peace to be the deciding factor in your decisions and responses.

Then he calls us to let the Word of Christ dwell richly in us. Scripture isn’t meant to visit occasionally—it’s meant to live within us, shaping our thinking and speech. This leads to worship, teaching, and encouragement that flows from the truth.

Finally, Paul emphasizes doing everything—word or deed—in the name of Jesus. The Christian life isn’t compartmentalized. Every moment is sacred when it’s lived under His Lordship.
