    Colossians 2:18-23 Identifying a Cult ATTENTION: The geology lab is an interesting place to visit. Students of geology learn to identify rocks based on a series of tests. By observing the properties of samples, they are able to come up with an answer with remarkable ...read more

    Where does the Law cross the line into legalism? Paul told the Colossians the answer.

    Colossians 2:11-17 Knocking Off the Training Wheels of Legalism My bicycle never had training wheels. I came from the school that said, “Take the plunge!” and “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” When my dad put my bicycle together for me, I was six years old. I was eight ...read more

    Paul wanted the Colossians to realize that in Christ, they already had all of the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge available to them.... Therefore what could these false teachers really have to offer them --- answer not a thing!! (Jesus Is Enough - part 3)

    "HIS Word Is Enough, Don’t Be Fooled" Jesus Is ENOUGH - part three - Col 2:1-23 A little boy was lost inside a busy shopping mall. He was standing in the aisle of a department store just crying and crying, "I want my mommy.. I want my mommy." People who passed by felt sorry for him and many ...read more

    We need to understand what the Bible has to say about the NATURE & FUNCTION of Angels.

    INTRO: With the increased interest in the paranormal these days there has recently, been an increased interest in the subject of ANGELS. Some time ago, ago, a dear church passed along a magazine to me about angels. Among the so-called "revelations" that this book contains are: ...read more

    Life As A Stunted Plan Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,220 views

    Do you feel a lack of growth? It could be that you are experiencing the effects of bad doctrine or that you need to re-connect to the root - Jesus Christ.

    The Colossians were Christians - they knew Jesus as their Savior. But what threatened them in the proto-Gnostic heresy was a lack of maturity. They were like plants - plants that hadn’t grown up and were stunted in their maturity. As Christians if we do not grow in our discipleship in Christ ...read more

    Beware Of Grace-Robbers! Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,204 views

    If you think God has already done 99.999999999% of what’s necessary for you to be saved, and then it’s up to you to do the remaining .00000001%, then you don’t understand grace.

    INTRODUCTION: When I was younger I had brief dreams of being a Biblical Archaeologist. I thought it would be a glamorous job, and that I would unearth some exciting treasure like the Ark of the Covenant or something. So I was excited about an opportunity in college to travel to Israel and to ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,281 views

    Keeping religious rules and observing religious rituals in order to be close to God are only a shadow of the "real thing," a relationship with Him through Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION In the time of the early church, there were people in the churches who were teaching that once you became a Christian, you still had to obey the Jewish regulations and rituals to be religiously correct. That kind of false teaching still exists in the 21st century. In this series I’m ...read more

    Follow Jesus--Not Your Feelings Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 14,626 views

    Are you a little proud you attend church? Do you feel a little superior to those folks who sleep in or are out on the lake? There is no room for spiritual pride in grace, because in grace, it’s all about boasting in God not in our goodness.

    INTRODUCTION If you were around in 1975 you might remember the one-hit wonder “Feelings,” by Morris Albert “Feelings, nothing more than feelings; / Trying to forget my feelings of love; / Feelings, whoa, whoa, whoa feelings…” This is the sappiest song I’ve ever heard. It was never was one of my ...read more

    Are you still trying to obey rules and observe rituals to earn God’s favor?

    INTRODUCTION During this Grace-Robbers series we have noted there are many people who are still trying to live under law instead of grace. Rules and laws can often be ridiculous, and even funny. Here is a list of ten actual laws from different states. 1. In Alabama it is illegal for a driver to ...read more

    Are You Loving Others Or Judging Others? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Oct 19, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,204 views

    If we think we can live the Christian life by following rules and forgetting about loving others, we have missed the point. The Christian life can be summed up in one word: love.

    “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ” (Col. 2:16-17). Background I. God does not want you to ...read more

     | 16,490 views

    Paul takes on the "Perfection Police" and "Legalistic Lawyers" in this text and shows us how to walk in freedom.

    INTRODUCTION Is there a rule book for Christians to follow? Do we have a codified list of do’s and don’ts by which we are judged. Is God like Santa Claus, “He’s making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out whose naughty or nice.” Once a preacher told his congregation there were 700 sins. ...read more

    Autarkia: Our Full Sufficiency In Christ

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Jun 5, 2007
     | 2,655 views

    This is a sermon starter for Preaching out of the second chapter of Colossians showing our all sufficiency in Christ. Autarkia is the Greek word used in the text for "all sufficiency".

    “Autarkia” (Greek) “Fully Sufficient” Colossians 2:10-23 “In Him you have been made complete” There are certain things that tend to clutter up the simplicity we have when we are complete in Christ. II Cor 11:3 spoke about those who are deceived, having been led astray from the simplicity and ...read more
