Colossians 2:16-17 Therefore let no one
pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a
festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things
to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.Every
society ever discovered has some form of religious practice. The action
of doing certain things, or not doing certain things in an effort to
please a god or gods. If your faith is in what you do, rather than
repenting in light of what Jesus did, your faith is in religion, and it
will not save. In this text we look at how Paul calls the Colossian
believers to fix their hope on Christ and not on any religious practice
as their source of salvation security.Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday June 28th, 2015.

Colossians: Beware the false gospel

Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one
takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human
tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not
according to Christ.Paul
agonized for this little church because of the man centered false
gospel that was being taught there. Like a salesman selling a lead vest
as a life preserver, a false gospel has the trappings of what we want,
but the inability to actually save. The Gospel of Jesus is our only
hope.Sermon Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday June 21st, 2014

Colossians: Christ in you the Hope of Glory

Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to
make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of
this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.There
is a mystery in the work of Christ that is not revealed in nature. It
must be revealed through a supernatural move of God. Paul says that he
has revealed this mystery to the Gentile churches through two means: a
stewardship of suffering, and fully and faithfully preaching the Gospel.
In this sermon we look at Colossians 1:24-29 and see how we can reveal
Christ in us, the hope of Glory.Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday June 14th, 2015.
