1:9-14, Symbiotic

Feb 22, 2026    Earl Benson

In this message from Colossians 1, we’re reminded that the Christian life is not meant to be lived alone. Focusing on Paul’s repeated use of the word “we,” this sermon explores what it means to live in authentic Christian community. Through the lens of the New Testament “one another” commands, we see how biblical relationships are designed to encourage, strengthen, and equip believers to grow in their faith together.


This teaching walks through key practices like loving one another, forgiving one another, building one another up, and pursuing unity in the church. In a world marked by division, this message equips us to reflect Christ through our relationships and to live out a faith that is visible, compelling, and rooted in truth. As we practice these biblical principles, we become a church that not only gathers—but grows, serves, and impacts others together.
