Pursue relationships with gospel power!

1. Obey Jesus’ peace 15

Cultivate peace with proper order in relationships – as a leader and a follower!
Every role in every relationship has been entrusted to you from the Lord!
Beware of artificial peace built around appearance!
Make the most of your time, responding wisely and speaking graciously! Powerful in witness… are we ready? But also…

2. Enjoy Jesus’ Word 16

All of Scripture is vital in transforming our relationships!
We must embody God’s living and active Word!
Pray watchfully and thankfully for others!
Gratitude cultivates enjoyment and appreciation, but takes intentional work.

3. Honor Jesus’ name 17

Work hard to serve and please Jesus above everyone else!
Seek to be powerfully motivated and a powerful motivator for following Jesus!
All authority, leadership, actions, and words are subject to the Lord Jesus!

In your relationships:

• Speak graciously (4:6)
• Pray with thanksgiving (4:2)
• Serve Jesus (3:24)
