Colossians Series 12: Single Drawer Christianity

In this sermon, Paul calls believers to live out their faith in every area of life, challenging compartmentalization. The passage emphasizes that “whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus” (v. 17), which means living with a singular focus on Christ across all roles and responsibilities. The concept of “Single Drawer Christianity” speaks to the idea that our faith cannot be confined to specific “drawers” like church or private life, while leaving other areas, such as work, family, or relationships, untouched by Christ’s lordship. Paul’s teaching on relationships between wives and husbands, children and parents, slaves and masters (3:18-4:1) illustrates how the gospel must influence every sphere of life, breaking down the false divide between the sacred and the secular. This comprehensive call challenges Christians to fully integrate their faith into all aspects of life, reflecting Christ’s love, authority, and truth in every action and relationship, ultimately living with integrity and wholeness.
