God ignoring my prayers? Can prayer extend life? Is salvation eternal? 9/11 suicides, mental distress--will they be saved? Kind enough to be saved?

Why hurricanes? Fear God vs fear not. Helping child with parent's death. Remarriage after divorce. Want marriage, not kids. Will Jesus save animals?

Drawing from Colossians 3 and 4, this study explores how Christ transforms the way believers relate to spouses, children, coworkers, and everyone around them. Paul emphasizes mutual submission, sacrificial love, patient instruction, and the avoidance of harsh or discouraging behavior. Even in difficult social structures, he calls Christians to work with integrity, treat others with fairness, and remember that all service is ultimately for the Lord.

Living with Christ explores how followers of Jesus can experience real change by seeking the things above and embracing the new life He offers. Paul reminds believers to let go of harmful attitudes and actions, allowing Christ to renew their hearts. He calls the church to clothe itself with compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love. By letting God’s Word dwell richly within and by relying on the Holy Spirit, Christians grow in strength and spiritual focus.
