About this sermon

8/02/2026 Although we exist on the horizontal (earth), the Bible encourages us to have our minds set on the vertical (heaven). Believers in Jesus are called to have an eternal perspective: to “put off” the old, sinful ways and to “put on” the new, godly traits of Christ. Among all the godly traits Paul tells us to “put on,” there is one trait that we are told to do as Christ has done for us. Pastor Gary shares about this one trait—among the other lessons of Colossians 3—in today’s study titled, “Vertical Living in a Horizontal World.” 00:00 - Introduction 00:20 - Vertical Living in a Horizontal World 03:08 - What 3 Things has Christ Done for Us? 03:42 - 1) 3:1 - "you were raised with Christ." 05:15 - 2) 3:3 - "your life is hidden with Christ in God" 08:01 - 3) 3:4 - "you also will appear with Him in glory" 13:27 - What Old Traits should We Put Off? 18:18 - What New Traits should We Put On?? 24:34 - Colossians 3:13 ABOUT US: https://cornerstonechapel.net/hello GROW: If you made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior text "I have decided" to (703) 844-9969.
