Sermon Notes

[Colossians 2:2-3] I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God's mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. [3] In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Everything we NEED is found in Jesus.

[Colossians 2:6-7] And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. [7] Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

Your FOUNDATION determines your FUTURE.

[Colossians 2:8-9] Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. [9] For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.

The best way to recognize DECEPTION is to know the TRUTH.

[John 8:32] And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

If you don’t stand FIRM in Christ, you’ll FALL for anything.

[Colossians 2:10] So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

In Jesus, you are already COMPLETE!

When you’re rooted in Christ NOTHING can shake you.

[Colossians 2:20-21] You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, [21] "Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!"?
