Holding Fast to Christ's Sufficiency | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text: Colossians 2:16-23

 

Consider the Insufficiency of Legalism (2:16-17)

• Following religious rules does not produce godliness; it can lead to self-righteousness and judgmentalism.
• Look to Christ as the substance of your faith!

 

Consider the Insufficiency of Mysticism (2:18-19)

• Worshipping angels and searching for visions will lead us away from the truth of the Gospel.
• Hold fast to Christ, the fountain head of all wisdom and fulfillment!

 

Consider the Insufficiency of Asceticism (2:20-23)

• Self-made religion and discipline for the sake of the flesh leads to enslavement by the flesh.
• Depend on Christ to deliver you from your sin and equip you in the battle against temptation!
