It’s time to take our eyes off of the shadows (the fake) and focus our eyes on Jesus (the real). Listen as Pastor Jeremy teaches from Colossians 2:16-23 about the shadows to avoid and the substance to pursue: 1. SHADOWS •(v. 18) Mysticism - Watch out for those who downplay Jesus Christ or emphasize external spiritual experiences or angels instead of the person of Jesus Christ. • (v. 16) Legalism – We want our focus to be on Christ instead trying to be justified by our own works and deeds. 2. SUBSTANCE • (v. 17) – Hold fast to Jesus. • Find your identity, worth, meaning, purpose, joy and confidence in Him and Him alone. ***** Sermon Series: Colossians - Closer to Jesus Sermon Title: Shadows and Substance Speaker: Pastor Jeremy Lobdell Scripture: Colossians 2:16-23
