Counter-Cultural Living\nPart 3: Pastor Michael Dascoli \n9-20-2020\n\nCounter-Cultural Living: How should we live in this age of outrage? \n\nOur part? the power of a gospel-shaped people living in a rage-filled world \n\t\n\u201cBut now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.\u201d Colossians 3:8-11\n\nFirst: Look like Christ (V 12)\n\n\u201cTherefore, as God\u2019s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe \nyourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.\u201d\n\t\n\u201cBear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a \ngrievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.\u201d (V 13)\n\nSecond: Forbear and forgive (V 13)\n\nThird: Lead with love (V 14) \n\n\u201cAnd over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.\u201d \n\nIt\u2019s a loving church, living in true community that produces loving Christians who can counter the age of outrage\n\nLet the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (V 15-17)\n\nLet\u2019s Pray:\n\t-What is God\u2019s Spirit saying to you today?\n\t-How must you respond?
