Podcasts about Colossians 2

Speaker: Mark Piland, Senior Pastor, Oak Hills Community Church, Argyle, Tx

We normally think of the Christian life as beginning with the gospel of Jesus Christ, NOW, tell me what to do, as if we can walk in Christ without grace. The Christian walk is all by grace through faith.

Hear Stephen Wood preach from Colossians 2:1-5. Stephen gave this sermon at Liberti River Wards church on October 19, 2025.

Why?

Hold fast

Made Alive!

Complete in Christ

Legalism often masquerades as devotion, drawing us to what feels right, looks impressive, or seems perfectly obedient. Paul reminds us that moralism, mysticism, and aestheticism do not guide us to Christ, faith alone does. As we face these temptations to judge ourselves or others by feelings, appearances, or rules, we can learn to rest in Jesus, trusting Him to justify, preserve, and sustain His people even when our preferences, perceptions, or practices differ.

As you received, walk.

Colossians 2:16-23 | October 19, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the difference between man-made religion and a genuine relationship with Christ. The sermon delves into Colossians 2, exposing the dangers of legalism, mysticism, and asceticism. We're reminded that these practices, while appearing spiritual, often lead to self-righteousness and pride rather than true godliness. The key takeaway is that our salvation and spiritual growth come from Christ alone, not from following rigid rules, seeking mystical experiences, or inflicting suffering on ourselves. As believers, we're called to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, understanding that He is the substance behind all religious shadows. This message encourages us to evaluate our own faith practices, ensuring we're not substituting religious activities for a living, breathing relationship with our Savior.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

The DILEMMA with legalism Legalism is a slow torture, a suffocation of the spirit. It is just enough religion to keep you, but not enough to nourish you. So you starve. For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.- Galatians 5:1 The DANGER with mysticism Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,  and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.-Colossians 2:18-19Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world -Hebrews 1:1-2 The DIFFICULTY with asceticism If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations—  “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.-Colossians 2:20-23“There is only one thing that will put the collar on the neck of the animal that lives within us…and that is the indwelling of Christ. Ascetic religion is godless for those that practice it essentially worship themselves.” -Alexander Mclaren The DELIVERANCE with ChristAnd you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.-Colossians 2:13-15 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.-John 5:2-9 --------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

Series: It's All About Jesus Title: Jesus IS Everything Speaker: Family Ministry Pastor Caleb Beaverson Date: October 19, 2025 Paul's letter to the Colossians, written around AD 60–62 from prison to a church he had never visited, calls us to re-center our lives on the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus. In a world where false teachings threaten to diminish Christ's deity and elevate secret knowledge or religious add-ons, Paul proclaims that Jesus is everything: fully God, creator and sustainer of all things, and the mystery now revealed, Christ in us, the hope of glory. Colossians invites us to see Jesus as the exalted Messiah, sufficient for salvation and supreme over every power, idol, or tradition. His indwelling presence transforms every aspect of life, including our worship, suffering, daily choices, and even our households, calling us to live as a new humanity under His lordship. In this four-week series, we'll discover that Jesus is not just part of our faith; He is the center of it all, and when He is at the center, everything changes.

10/19/2025 Freedom in Christ Colossians 2:6-23Big Idea:Real freedom is found in Christ alone!The freedom that we haven Christ means we are: 1. Rooted in Christ, not rules (vs 6-7). Your relationship with God starts with a person, not a system. Following Jesus is a marathon, not a sprint. (John 15:4) Maturity doesn't happen by default, it's Spirit-led.2. Freed from empty philosophy (vs 8-15). Jesus + nothing = everything. Jesus is sufficient in and for all things.3. Freed from legalism and empty religion (vs 16-23). The Law was fulfilled in Jesus. The Law is a silhouette of Jesus.What is your next step to live in the reality of the freedom you have in Christ?1. Identify the counterfeits. Where are you tempted to rely on rules, rituals, or spiritual fads instead of Christ? Call it out!2. Stay rooted in Christ. Set aside daily time this week to be in His Word and in prayer, not to check off a box but to deepen your roots.3. Live like you're forgiven. Stop carrying guilt that Jesus has already nailed to the Cross. Confess it, release it, and rest in His grace.4. Choose freedom over performance. Serve, obey, and love, not to earn God's favor, but because you already have it in Christ.

In Christ, we are given a new life, freed from sin's dominion and united to Him as the source of our fruitfulness. We not only receive a new status as saints marked by forgiveness but we are given a new future. A future where Christ has triumphed over all powers and calls us to live with our eyes fixed on Him as both our means and our end. Let us rest in this truth and walk in the freedom, identity, and hope that are ours in Christ.

The Colossian churches had shifted their attention from Christ to calendrical matters, mediatorial figures, mystical visions, and philosophical notions. Paul is calling them to focus on Christ, who is the center and circumference of reality. In 2:9, Paul's language makes Christ's full deity unavoidable and unmistakeable.

Colossians 2:11-15 | October 12, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful message, we explore the transformative reality of being 'in Christ.' Drawing from Colossians 2:11-15, we discover three profound spiritual truths about our past in Christ: we've been spiritually circumcised, buried, and raised with Him. This isn't mere symbolism, but a deep spiritual reality that fundamentally changes who we are. The message challenges us to grasp the magnitude of this transformation - we're no longer slaves to sin, but alive in Christ! As we delve into our present realities in Christ, we're reminded that God has made us spiritually alive, forgiven all our sins, and given us victory over evil forces. The vivid imagery of our sins being 'nailed to the cross' serves as a powerful reminder of the complete forgiveness we have in Jesus. This message urges us to live in the freedom and victory that Christ has secured for us, encouraging a life of confident faith and joyful obedience.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

In Colossians 2:6–12, Paul calls believers not just to receive Christ, but to walk in Him, firmly rooted and built up in faith. The life that flourishes in Christ must be grounded in Him, not in empty philosophies or self-sufficient thinking. This passage invites us to examine what shapes our minds and desires: does what we meditate on draw us closer to Jesus or pull us away? Remembering our baptism and the joy of salvation reorients us, reminding us that we are not the source of life but recipients of grace. To walk in Christ is to cultivate vigilance, humility, and direction, to set our faces toward Him and live a life worthy of His calling.

Colossians 2:6-10 | October 5, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful message, we're called to examine our spiritual walk and guard against the subtle dangers of worldly philosophies. The key scripture, Colossians 2:6-10, reminds us to 'walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him.' This passage warns us about being taken captive by empty deceit and human traditions that aren't aligned with Christ. We're challenged to reflect on how we received Christ initially - with humility, surrender, and joy - and to continue living that way daily. The message draws an interesting parallel between spiritual kidnapping and physical captivity, emphasizing the grave danger of straying from Christ's teachings. As believers, we're encouraged to develop deep roots in God's Word, remain teachable, and overflow with gratitude. This serves as a powerful defense against the allure of humanistic thinking that can lead us astray. The relevance for our lives is clear: we must stay alert, discerning truth from error, and remember that in Christ, we have all we need for life and godliness.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.
