This Sunday we will look at Colossians 2:16-3:4, where the Bible tells us what it means to be “Hidden With Christ In God.” 

In this passage, Paul addresses the false teaching that is threatening the church at Colossae, and points to the sufficiency of Christ.  He is all we need.

There are absolute treasures in this text.  The Colossian believers had come out of a background of fear, in which they felt the need to engage in all kinds of legalistic practices in order to placate spirits and angels, gods and goddesses.  They have found freedom in Christ, but now a false teacher is telling them to go back to their old ways and beliefs.  Paul is saying, “Remember who Jesus is, and remember who you are in Him!” 

This is a message we need to hear every day.  I can’t wait to share it with you on Sunday!  Invite a friend to meet you at FBC.
