Vintage Faith
Pastor Bob Fox
Colossians 2:1-5
- Vintage faith flourishes as:
- We unite with other Spirit-led people to practice truth/love.
- We are being strengthened by this to press forward.
- We are being emboldened by increased understanding.
- We have an intensifying experience of Christ in normal life.
- Vintage faith embraces Christ as the source of all that is and therefore the only end worthy of pursuit.
- Vintage faith is always at risk due to “plausible sounding arguments”—ideas that entice and divert us into a Christ plus lifestyle. It is preserved through:
- A pattern of beliefs, church-life, and practical living.
- Ongoing repentance and renewal of trust in Christ as everything.
