About this episode
Mark Ordus invites us to reconsider how following Jesus reshapes our everyday relationships in the closing message of the Walk This Way series.
In this closing message of the Walk This Way series, Mark Ordus invites us to reconsider how following Jesus reshapes our everyday relationships. Drawing from the final chapters of Colossians, the sermon explores how Christian discipleship is lived out not just in belief, but in the ordinary spaces of marriage, family, work, and community. Paul’s repeated call to orient every word and action around Christ challenges us to move beyond self‑interest and toward a posture of humble, Christ‑centered service. Rather than asking what we can get from others, we are invited to ask how honoring and serving others becomes an act of worship to Jesus himself. This message names the cultural pressures that distort our relationships and offers a hopeful, grounded vision of what life looks like when Christ is truly at the center. When we remember that it is the Lord Christ we are serving, even our most familiar relationships become places where God’s kingdom takes shape and resurrection life is made visible.
