Colossians — The Supremacy of Christ Slavery and the Bible (Colossians 3:22) This week we return to a difficult and often-challenged passage in Paul’s household instructions—his command for slaves to obey their earthly masters. Why would Paul speak into the slave–master relationship at all? And how should Christians understand the Bible’s comments on slavery, especially in light of troubling Old Testament passages? In this message, we take an honest, thoughtful look at what Scripture actually says about slavery—what it condemns, what it regulates, and what it reveals about the human heart.
