What does it mean to "put on" or "clothe yourself" with the character of Christ? In this series, we journey through Colossians 3:12-17, exploring Paul's vision of a life transformed by compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another, forgiveness, love, peace, and gratitude.
