Fusion: week of 9/8

FAMILY THEME: ALIVE IN CHRIST

Colossians 2:6-23

Jesus Christ makes a difference in every part of your life. Because

of Him, you are dead to your sins, buried with Him in baptism, freed

from your sinful past, and raised with Him to conduct your life differently.

1.  The Christian Experience is a Life-Long Process, Not

     a One-Time Event

     (Colossians 2:6-8)

     The Christian life is a continuation in Christ to a culmination

     with Christ in Heaven.

 
2.  God Gives Us Forgiveness and Spiritual Life in and Through

     Christ Who is Fully God and Fully Man

     (Colossians 2:9-15)

     Our focus should always be on Christ and what He has

     spiritually provided for us.

     

3.  True Spiritual Life is Found in Christ, Not in Human

     Philosophy or Tradition

     (Colossians 2:16-23)

     Christ is the living water in a spiritual desert.
