Colossians 3:1-11

This sermon from Colossians 3 focuses on how Christians should respond to Christ's supremacy and sufficiency in their lives. Pastor Devin emphasizes that once someone accepts Christ, they must put to death their earthly nature and sinful desires through complete surrender to God. He explains that this transformation isn't achieved through human effort but through the power of the Holy Spirit, particularly relevant on Pentecost Sunday.
