Sermon: Colossians 3:1-11, John 15:1-8
March 19th, 2007 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted my sermon from yesterday on my sermon blog.
It’s the fourth in my Lenten series based on Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life . It’s based on Colossians 3:1-11 and John 15:1-8 and entitled Live Like Christ.
Here’s a portion of it:
You’ve heard the expression: “like father like sonâ€
It usually refers to the ability to recognize physical traits – and maybe other traits – of parents in their children. If you had known my Dad you would know that when you look at me – you see a striking physical resemblance. Dad and I had the same hairline. He gave the charge to me at my Ordination service in 1984 – and made the comment that he taught me how to part my hair. I also have “the Hayes chin†– both of them!
Like father, like son.
When someone tells a parent that they can see them in their children – it usually makes the parent feel good. In the same God feels good when others can see Him in you.
