Be Wise: Impact Outsiders

Pastor Jim teaches from Colossians 4 and calls us to live wisely in how we interact with outsiders, those not yet in the family of God. He reminds us that wisdom means applying gospel understanding to everyday life, and that our lives should reflect the goodness and grace of Jesus in both our actions and our words. Jim challenges listeners to redeem the ordinary moments of each day, to view others not as enemies or interruptions but as potential brothers and sisters in Christ, and to let their speech be seasoned with grace so the gospel is made tangible through conversation. Whether proactively creating environments of kindness or reacting with gentleness to opposition, Jim urges the church to see themselves as sent ones whose lives point to the table of God. When we live like this, we reflect the aroma of the gospel and bring glory to the One who brought us in when we were outsiders too.
