The Folly of Man-Made Religion: Part 2

We are moving through the heart of the book of Colossians. The foundation has been laid, and Paul has made it clear that in Jesus Christ believers have everything that they need. Now, as we move through chapter 2, he begins to address the dangerous false teaching that was creeping into the church in Colossae. What are some of the characteristics of that false teaching?…

The Folly of Man-Made Religion

Today, we will begin by going back to the last two verses of the passage from last week. These two verses are the pivot point of the book and are worth a second look. Last week, Matt talked about the results we should see in our lives because we have received Christ Jesus as Lord. This week, we will focus on the truth that Jesus is enough for us. We don’t know all the…

A Pastor’s Burden for His People

As we move into the second chapter of Colossians, Paul’s focus doesn’t seem to change much from what we learned about last week. He has talked about his ministry to the church, and what some essential characteristics of that ministry are. This week, we will look at the first 7 verses of chapter 2 and hear what Paul’s ministry works towards. If last week…

A Picture of Faithful Ministry

As we come to the conclusion of the first chapter of Colossians, we are going to see a broad overview of what gospel ministry looks like. Now, our conclusion might be that Paul was called to ministry, but there isn’t much in the way of personal application from a passage like this. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Paul expects and anticipates that all…

Praying for God’s People

As we move into the book of Colossians, we are going to be brought face to face with the glory of Jesus Christ. Paul writes to a church that was being bombarded by worldly philosophy and man-made religion. And into the spiritual confusion he shines a brilliant light on the person and work of Jesus Christ and the nature of the gospel. It would have been a comforting and…

A Healthy Church

(Click “SAVE” above to download sermon and notes.) Today, we will be looking into what it means to be a healthy church.  You will find that it is the same as a healthy life—Christ at the center of it all. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were…

Under One Gospel

(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) “Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.” (Galatians…

Jesus Came to Die for Us

(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes) Our Easter celebration begins in earnest as we take a serious look at the things that people assumed before he rose on the resurrection Sunday that followed and what people wanted to add after his resurrection (they’re still doing it). This vital message explains the scriptural foundation upon which all…
