The Center of Your Story | Colossians 4:2-6

In this sermon on Colossians 4:2-6, Pastor Bart Blair discusses the importance of making Jesus the nucleus of our lives and the center of our stories. He emphasizes three main points:
1. Pray for open doors: Christians should devote themselves to prayer, staying alert and thankful. We should pray for opportunities to share our faith, even in difficult circumstances, as Paul did while in chains.
2. Approach conversations with grace: Our speech should always be gracious and "seasoned with salt" (Colossians 4:6), meaning we should carefully consider how to engage with non-believers in a way that makes them want to hear more about Jesus.
3. Be ready to share your story: The pastor encourages believers to be prepared to explain the hope they have in Christ, as Peter instructs in 1 Peter 3:15. He suggests that the best way to lead someone to Jesus is often by sharing how He has impacted our own lives.
Pastor Blair concludes by challenging the congregation to examine how often they talk about Jesus in their daily lives, as this reveals how central He truly is to them.
