Pastor Bob Fox
Colossians 2:6-9

1. A vibrant, Spirit-led journey occurs as our walk with Christ is shaped by Christ. This means that in the detail of my life I trust Him as:
• God incarnate.
• My sin-bearer.
• My union with God and His family.
• My supply.
2. Our Vulnerability—our quest and love for wisdom can lead us into a watered-down experience of Christ.
3. Spiritual stagnancy occurs when we are deluded, then enslaved by self-serving leaders. They choke-off our experience of Christ with the “wisdom” of normal religious thought, like:
• Superstition—things go right or wrong for me based on my pleasing or displeasing Him.
• Lists—Wise people please Him by doing things He likes.
• Payola—Make up for where you’ve messed up to even things up.
• Smugness—There are a few good people and I’m one!
• Lethargy—Since Jesus is love, nobody is separated from Him.
• Fringe-faith—I’m covered so I’m good. Got that done!
• Indulgence—Grace gives me a good sin allowance!

Warning: Don’t conclude that you should bag the organized Church!
