In this message, Pastor Sterling Edwards challenged the church to dress their lives with the character of Christ. Just as we intentionally choose what clothes to wear each day, followers of Jesus are called to put on specific virtues that reflect our identity as “God’s chosen, holy, and beloved” people. Paul urges believers to wear: Compassionate hearts Kindness Humility Meekness Patience Forgiveness Love — described as the supreme garment that binds everything together. These spiritual garments shape how we interact in our families, friendships, and faith community. The sermon emphasized that peace and gratitude should rule our hearts, and that the Word of Christ should dwell richly among us—especially in our worship, teaching, and daily conversations. Pastor Sterling reminded the congregation that everything we do—whether in word or deed—should be done in the name of Jesus, giving thanks to God.
