Hello, we at Grace Covenant Church in Gunnison, Colorado are grateful and humbled that we get to be part of your sanctification today. We invite you to review our sermons online, but also stress the importance of being joined to a biblical local church, the life of the church, and the spiritual gifts God has given us to express in the church. Our website is www.gracegunnison.com. There you can find sermons and other resources as well as our location and service times. The members of Grace Covenant Church Gunnison pray that the following messages will be a blessing to you. Remember Paul was writing to the church at Colossae, a church of newer believers, but a church like ours today. And so he was writing to his church today as well. I have on your behalf, and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face, that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ himself. in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive arguments. For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ. So walk in Him, having been firmly rooted, and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. See to it that no one takes you casually. All the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority. Amen. You've heard the Word of God. You've heard Him speak through His Word this morning. Let's go to the Lord once again. Father, help your servant to expound the text before us, your holy word. Lord, may your spirit illuminate the text and bring it out to our own hearts and to our own understanding. And may it not only be received in the mind, but may it drive into the heart and may it affect our affections and our will to help us to walk in the right manner, to glorify you and according to your word. Lord, do this for your son's sake. In his name do I ask, amen. Remember, Paul has come to this church and come to us, telling us of the struggle in ministry and telling us of the suffering in the Gospel, it is something that I think about all the time, that I long for in each of you as in my own self. And within this suffering ministry, he speaks again of the struggle. He says, I know, I want you to know of the great struggle. And the struggle is not only in wanting to relay the Bible to you, but in prayer. There's so much prayer that a faithful pastor has for his flock, for Christ's flock, to desire great things for them. And so I want us to know, as we look at this text, all we need is Christ. You can stop there. All we need is Christ. And within this text, I want us to say, He's going to warn them, but first he shows his concern. How I love you and struggle for you. Notice that I have on your behalf. The struggle is on your behalf. A faithful pastor struggles on your behalf. He takes it upon himself to help you and to benefit you. And he mentions here, not just for Colossae, but those in Laodicea. You've probably heard of that too. of a revelation, there's a revelation to the church, and one of those was Laodicea. And do you remember what the complaint or what the concern was at that time? It's just your love had gone cold. You were lukewarm. He says, return to your first love, remember? And so these lukewarm believers that he's speaking to, but this is probably another 30 years or 20 years more. He wants him to read this letter to the church at Laodicea, and vice versa. There might have been other letters that we do not have in our possession. But here it says, not all those who have not personally seen my face. So those who don't, maybe he's not called and visited them. But he says, I long for you, I struggle for you, even though I have been with you. And know this, that my, that resonates with me. Because when I read this, I think this is how I feel of you who are listening. I want your heart to be encouraged. Encouraged how? Just to give you a self-help or a pep talk? Or give you something that just really makes you feel good? No, no. I want you to be encouraged in the truth. Encouraged in the Word of God. And notice he says, having been knit together in love. Church, right? This is God's children. He's brought in to one another. And as I think about being encouraged in the truth, and I so desire that, and having been knit together in love, and I sense that there is that, but I feel my own failings here when I come to that second portion of being knit together in love. In the local expression, I so desire that to be more. more love for me, more me, my love for you, more living together. I think that that is there to an extent, but I think there's more to be desired in all of us. I would hope for that. Because remember, the true void of love And here, he speaks of this desire for these two things, but notice he says, and that they would attain to all wealth. What wealth? Well, this is the prosperity gospel, right? That you'll have a new car and a new job. No, no, he's not saying that. He's not saying that at all. demonstrate the true meaning versus what these false teachers are, and so he says the wealth that comes from full assurance of understanding. Paul is not preaching some pain-free variety of It's not pain-free. He says, I want you to grow in this wealth of a full assurance of understanding. You see, our faith grows into a full assurance. Do you remember a time, or maybe you're in a time now, I don't know, but in your progress in the Gospel as a Christian where you lacked assurance at times. I can't believe, but Paul said, I want you to grow to a full assurance. As you grow in grace, as you grow in understanding, as your faith grows, and resulting, what does he say? Resulting, as you grow in assurance, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery. What is God's mystery? Now remember the false teachers, they're saying, hey, I'll help you with the mystery. I know the secret. I've got the secret thing here. I'll say, what is the mystery? Christ Himself. Not the stuff that... You can't find it in the Bible, but it sounds really good. He must really, really be close to God. It's false teaching. It's false teaching. We need to be careful with that. If the Bible does not say it, then it's not so. Check it. Be like a Marine. all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. They were looking for wisdom and knowledge other places. You know, in the gurus, spiritualists that say, I've got the secret mystery. You know, it's not in the Bible, but if you read in between the lines, such a gathering, but it is so. And Paul warns them that it was the same then as it is now. In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Everything you need is in Christ. I started that. All we need is Christ. That's it. You need to be in a church where you're directed to Christ and Him alone. You know, many people, but before I say anything, about many people. Think about yourself. I know you, and I know you're in the Word, and I know your faith and your walk. Are any of you immune to I always check the scripture. The person that thinks he's immune to that is probably in serious danger because he's not aware of his own failings. We need humility, but many people are prone to listen to false teachers, and the reason they're prone, you have friends, you know people that are in these so-called churches. The reason they're prone is because they have an incomplete They either have an incomplete view of Christ, or an incomplete view of salvation, or maybe both. They're not reading the Bibles. Whether it be Roman Catholicism, whether it be Jehovah's Witness, whether it be, you know, Charismatics RS, it doesn't matter. They're still the same problem is they're not in the Word to know, so they lack understanding. It's not that they're stupid. Someone can be ignorant of Scripture, And then teaching, when Christ writes to the church, he says, go to the church, make disciples, baptizing them, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them all that I have. That's to the church. Teaching. And then now he's going to go into addressing some of these issues that people are being duped. And these Gnostic false teachers claimed that they had the way to wisdom and knowledge. We have the key. Follow us. That sounds great, right? I mean, if they got the key and they know the stuff, well, I better stick close, because maybe I'll get that stuff, right? It's human desire. It's wrong. But Christ is the only way. It is the only way to know God. Do you hear me? The only way to know God is Christ. If someone says, yeah, you know, Christ is great, but let me show you a little more how to know God. No. You don't know God outside of Christ. The only way to know God is through Him. There's not multiple ways. True Christianity, according to the Word of God, is not multiple choice, it is very exclusive. It's very precise. There's one truth, and there's only one truth. And this is what Paul is trying to get through to them and his concern for them. He says, I say to you in verse 4, this is why I say this, I say this so that no one So notice he hasn't really brought you and me into the conversation in Colossians yet. Well, he has, because we're in Christ. But now he's going to more address the you part. He says, no one will deceive you. And he says, I am nevertheless with you in spirit. He says, even though I'm not presently with you, he reveals his pastoral heart. He says they're going to try to deceive you with how? Persuasive arguments. They're persuasive people. They actually make something sound pretty well. Maybe even sound very Christian. You know, I want you to know something. False teachers will use parts of the Bible, and they might say 80, 90% of stuff that sounds about right on. But it's that 10%, that 5%, that 2% that is deadly poison. I mean, I could give you a wonderful pure glass of water, right? But if I pour a little drop of sewage in there, I just, hey, it's just a drop. Sewage, just a drop. There's nothing new. Drink it. You're not going to drink that. Of course not. I hate to hear that. It's like nails on a chalkboard. Most need to get out of there. They're smooth talkers. They speak with charisma and charm. And they use Christian language. Hey, the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses, they'll use Christian language. They'll use the same terminology you do. Faith, salvation, regeneration. When we get down to the defining, they are very, very different in their understanding. He says, I'm not presently with you, but I'm with you in spirit. He's with the believers. And notice what he wants to see. And all Christians should be within a local church. And we should all be, as the Bible talks, But in that, I want you to know, hopefully the pastors want you to do well. I hope that you want well for the pastors. I hope you want well for those who are serving with you. And not harm. But if you want to know what really makes a pastor rejoice, it's these two things he's talking about next. Rejoicing to see your worldly manner, in verse 5, He says good discipline in some translations, or orderly manner, and the stability of your faith in Christ. Let's look at these two. So the word for orderly manner, or your good discipline, is actually a military term, and what it means is two people standing shoulder to shoulder, going into battle shoulder to shoulder, and he says, I'm rejoicing to see that you Christians are shoulder to shoulder. You know what that means? That means you're not turning on one another. You've got the same enemy in front, right? You're going forward, you're not running away shoulder to shoulder. You're going into the battle shoulder to shoulder. Some churches, they turn and now they're looking at each other, battling each other. Or they turn their backs and go away. He said, I'm rejoicing that you're shoulder to shoulder. And he says the stability of your faith in Christ. brings such joy to a pastor to see that the church itself, that all of the members in an orderly shoulder to shoulder and stable in their faith, like you're growing in your faith. You're not like blown around by every wind of doctrine. You're not just like you listen to something and you hear some pseudo teacher on TV, you know, oh, that sounds great. And you come to me, you tell me all this new stuff. That's heartbreaking for me to hear that people are not discerning. Well, I was heartbroken the other day, not in our church, but in other pastors lacking discernment, other Christians in this idea that we're gonna you know, share this movie about some four-year-old that went to, so-called went to heaven and tell us all about, and that's like they're, that's not real. That's a movie. Why can't we be? I pray you will see the error of that and repent and be a better discernment for the people around them. We need pastors who are discerning. We need Christian tutors. We need to all walk together in an orderly, stable in our faith, not fluctuating, not going to the next fad. Well, I heard that the church grows, we should do this. No, the scriptures tell us what we need, amen? Do we need more? Do we need to be more than Christ? is going to preach to you now. He's told you about Christ, and he says, therefore, because of all I've said before, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him. And then he's We speak of that a lot, Jesus Christ, Jesus the Lord. But we don't see it in scripture all together like this that I've found. Christ is the Lord. Christ, Messiah, relationship to God, Jesus. creation into God. He says you've received. Notice it says have received. That's past tense. He says you've already come to faith. Remember when Jesus came in the Gospels and it says that he came to his own and they received him not. Many of Israel did not receive him to them to be, what, sons and daughters, to come into adoption. So there's a receiving of faith. There's a receiving of Christ. And we come to the Lord's table. Believers are said to be receiving of the elements in the same way that by faith we receive Christ. We have to receive the gift, right? The gift, myself, is work on the cross. Is that effective or affectionate to everyone in the world just because? Because he did that? Well, Christ did on the cross. Is that affectionate to save everybody because of what he did on the cross? Affectionate to save. Does it save everybody? He has a gift, but the gift must be received. And he says, therefore since you have received this faith, so walk in him. Walking. Walking implies progress. It implies movement. It's an action. We're not idle. He says don't be idle, but walk. It's a progressive term. Who else have we heard walked with God? Who in the Bible? Abraham walked with God. How about Enoch? Even before that, Enoch walked with God and he was no more. Adam walked with God in the garden before he fell. Moses walked with God. Jesus walked with God. Believers are to walk with God and walk in Him so present tense present continuous, like continue walking. Don't like just walk today and then, well tomorrow will be, I don't know, but continue to walk. And having been firmly rooted. So here's past tense. He keeps going from present to past. Past tense, you've been firmly rooted. Like you have a foundation. Your roots are in Christ. He is the foundation. He is the cornerstone that you have strong roots. And through every trial and every temptation and everything that you go through, the roots become more and more profound. And so a stable, mature Christian who's lived and walked with the Lord a long time has roots that are like solid. They're going out everywhere. You don't see them necessarily, but you're not gonna shake it. Because he's so solid in the Lord and Christ and he's firmly How? Because I just make you feel good every Sunday? No. Because you're being built up in Him, in Christ. He is building you up. I'm pointing you to Him. Look to Christ. And He builds you. He makes you the man and the woman that He is working. He is doing this. Establish in your faith. who are instructed. He's saying there are faithful teachers, and Paul is obviously including himself as an apostle, but he's also saying that there are pastors and teachers like Epaphras, who brought you the gospel of Colossae. There are pastors today, I pray that you can say that you've been instructed by your pastor, who is me now, and that you have gained in your understanding because of the ministry of the word, And so, all believers need to be instructed. To be instructed in the scriptures and taught. You need to instruct, you need to be in the word yourself as well. It's not like you're just reliant on, you know, I have to have this one person, no, no. But we do, Christ has given to his church pastors and teachers, right? Yeah, Ephesians 4. Ephesians 4.10. And he, Christ, is given to his church. And first he says, what? He says, prophets? It's not prophets today. Prophets in the scriptures, the Old Testament. Apostles? It's not apostles today. He's given the church, but they're in the scriptures. We have the apostles' word in the New Testament. Evangelists? Whether that means Gospel evangelists, or whether that means evangelists who are proclaiming even today, and pastors and teachers. Today, pastors and teachers that Christ has given, true teachers, not false, gnostic teachers, but true teachers that rely on the Word of God, that point you to Christ and Him alone. And it says, this is your instructed and overflowing with gratitude. I mean, for someone to be a believer in Christ and be and be established, built up, firmly rooted, to receive Jesus Christ the Lord. How can we not overflow with gratitude? We have been filled to the top. Paul speaks of filling a lot here. The word is pleroma, but the false teachers were saying that Gratitude. Basically what he's saying, do you remember when you came to Christ? Do you remember when you received him by faith that first time? He said, I want you to continue just as you first came. How did we first come? By faith, by repentance, by Christ working us, We came very humble. We came in humble submission, knowing that we needed a savior. Lord, save me lest I die. This submission and what Paul is saying is you look to Christ when you receive him. Keep looking to Christ as you walk in him. Keep that way. Don't. to the false teachers or some false book or some movie. You're gonna look to Christ again. Continue looking to Christ. Keep on looking to Christ. Start with Christ and never go further than Christ. You don't begin with Jesus and then find another higher way into spirituality. That's a lie. You progress in Christ, but you don't go to the next thing. Jesus is all-sufficient. He's all you need is a simpler way of saying it. He's all you need. He's all-sufficient. You don't need anything else. Not some Hollywood producer who's gonna write you, you know, here's what, you know, is not in the Bible, but, you know, could have been. You know what that show's called? You don't need that. Well, this person had an experience, an out-of-body experience in his Christian life. You need to watch this because we don't want that. No. No you don't. No you don't. You need to warn people to not be deceived and deluded. Lean so much into Jesus that if he wasn't there, you'd fall down. Because you will. You will fall without him. Amen? Just try to walk on your own self. How's that gonna go for you? I've tried it. It doesn't go well. No. We need to walk in him just as we came to him. To trust in Jesus. that He is all you shall ever need. All you shall ever need now, all you shall never need in 30 years, all you shall ever need on the dying bed, all you shall ever need for eternity. If you are truly in Christ, that's all you need. He is the necessary Savior for this life and the next. He is necessary for all wisdom and knowledge. There's nothing you need outside He is the wealth. He is the treasure to be found in the field and to go sell everything else. He is the pearl of great price. He's all we need. Praise God. And now He cautions him a little more in verse 8. Here's more caution. Everybody look out. See to it that there's no one who takes you captive. Implied is they're going to try to take you captive. To captivate you into some special knowledge and it's a false teaching, cultic teaching, It's so deep. I've seen it in Jehovah's Witnesses and more, you name it. It gets a death grip to where they think, I can't let this go. Even though I suspect that something is not right. It's like they, I don't understand it. But I know it's so, it's a death grip. And I want you to know, there are few who are able to take, to come out of it once they've been taken. I can't say philosophy is bad in itself, but what I can say is philosophy devoid from God, and devoid from His Word, is bad, is evil, is wicked, will turn you into wrong, will take you captive. Philosophy, that's what these false teachers were trying to teach them. They'd get up and they would sound nothing like me. They would be much more persuasive, much more They would make you feel really good, warm you up, and bring you in. Captivate you by their psychology and philosophy. I hear it today in so-called churches, even in this town and many other towns, that they get up and they ramble, they go around, and I'm thinking, how do people listen to this? And people are glued to it. It's amazing to me, actually. It's not Christian preaching. I don't know what it is, but it's empty deception. They make up all this high sounding stuff and they speak, they speak really smooth. Not like me. Smooth. And you think, wow. But then you walk out and you think, what did they talk about? I don't know, but it sure looks good. Really? Wow. In accordance to human tradition, he's saying in contrary to biblical word, in accordance with human tradition, What's that? Paul speaks in those terms quite a bit. Elementary principles. He speaks of elementary principles of religion. In that, he's speaking of the basics of Christianity. But here, when he says elementary principles of the world, he's speaking of the basic worldview that is out there among all people. The idea that they're their own god and they can do whatever they want Satan is the God of this world. He says, they're deceiving you, they're taking you captive with this, rather than in accordance with Christ. Here's the gist of it, folks. Truth is not found in human wisdom. You don't discover it on your own. This takes us back to Colossians 1, for Paul spoke of similar language then. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. He is before all things. that it was the Father's good pleasure, verse 19, for all the fullness to dwell in Him. So he's a fullness again. All the fullness of the deity. Everything that is in God is in Christ, is what he's saying. The presence of God is to be found in Jesus. What about in the Old Testament? When we think about the Old Testament and how God was revealing Himself to His people, where was His presence said to dwell? It was where you met people, right? So where was that? Tabernacle, right? Temple later? Well, God's presence was said to dwell between the cherubim, right? And in other places it was said He dwelled in the cloud that covered the mercy seat. Now we know that God is not in houses or places built by man. He can't be contained, but His presence was said to dwell there. What would He say now, in the New Testament, now, Reverend, that He dwells in His presence in the person of our Redeemer? He dwells in His people, too. Those who are in Christ are said to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that God now dwells Verse 9, For in him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form. Bodily form? In the person of the God-man? In Jesus Christ? That Jesus Christ, even now, as he sits in heaven, the God-man, fully human, fully God, that all the fullness dwells in him in bodily How about that? I can only say so much about that. I'm not able. Who is sufficient for these things? That all the fullness of deity dwells in Jesus. That means if you want God, you must go to Jesus. You must see Him. What does he say next? It means mature, perfect, complete. You've been already made complete. You say, yeah, but pastor, I still sin. I know, so do I. But you've been made complete in Christ. That you've been justified before the courts of heaven. It is really like an already but not yet. I'm already perfect, I just don't quite look like it. and they'll be glorified. And what God says about me will actually be true. I mean, it's true, but we'll be actualized. You follow me? Okay? So, don't say, well, I'm not complete, so I must not be in Christ. You are complete, because God sees Christ in you. You have been reunited with him, and he is the head over every ruler and authority. over everybody, Christ is the head, over all authority, over all kings, and presidents, and governments, and you name it, Christ is the head. Top dog. Highest price. But in Him, you've been made complete. It's in Him, it originates in Him. It originates in God, and it originates in His plan of salvation, to the plan of redemption, to be carried out by the Son, to be accomplished by the Spirit, to be planned by the Father, the Triune God, and He is in Christ the Son. It's in His person and work of what He did. It's to see the cross and to see the dying Savior upon it. This is how you have been made complete. And by receiving Him by faith is salvation leashing at that cross. And because of that, therefore, we live. We walk in Him. We've been saved by Him and we walk in Him, right? We don't be saved by Him and then walk on our own. Well, I said a prayer about yonder. No, we walk in Him. If you're saved in Him, you walk in Him. And Paul is saying, therefore, live for Him. Do not be deceived by these charlatans. Do not be taken captive by sin in your own life, or be taken captive by some false teacher. No, walk in Him, for you have been set free. You're not going to be captive anymore. You were captive to sin. You're not shackled to them like you were. Get rid of them. It means in your walk, get rid of those sinful things. Be done with them. Christ paid for them. He died to rid you of that. Why would you still go back to that? It's like a dog going back to its vomit. You're not that. Get away from that. It's vomit. Why would you go back? Going to the mud, you're not a pig, you're a sheep! Get out of the mud! That's what Paul is telling us here. He's going to go on and tell us more about putting off those things and putting on Christ. Look, He is the Head. Christ is the Head. And to look to anything else for the Head over everything is to play a fool's game. Like to look to your own knowledge You were unfulfilled. I pray you're a fulfilled democrat. We have moments of anxiety and moments of not walking as we should, but we immediately get back on the path. All we need is Christ. All I need is Christ. He alone shall make your cup runneth over. Remember Psalm 23, my cup runneth over. Why? Because Christ is filling me. The soul of man or the soul of woman is only made right and fully satisfied in Jesus. I hope you know this, I hope you're telling yourself this. Christ is the true source of joy. Not that stuff that looks good but turns out to be vomit. Christ is the true source of joy. He is where we find contentment. In him are found all the riches and treasure. It's not in winning the lottery. It's not in getting the next best job. It's not in, you know, whatever, the perfect spouse or your kids or whatever. It's the riches and treasure of Christ. And yes, he gives us other gifts. Wife, husband, friend, brother. But those aren't the treasure, those are gifts. full need. To know Jesus is to, as I said before, to receive Him by faith and then to continue to trust Him fully all the way. And this is where fullness and completeness come in. It is through Jesus who is all-sufficient, who is all we need. I'll say it again. He is all we need. There is nothing that can ever fill any of you except Possession of Christ Jesus the Lord. The Master, Christ Messiah, Jesus who walked on this world, and the Lord, meaning He's Master, Sovereign over you. He is the Captain, and you are not. It's not just profession of what we believe, but it's a possession of a person, of Jesus Christ. It is the possession of the person within my soul. He actually possesses me. When you receive Jesus by faith, as I know you who have, when we receive Him, He then longs to be our master, to be our guide as we walk on this path, this troubling path that we walk. It's not some, you know, easy road that the prosperity gospel teachers are telling you. It's full of twists and turns, but we're on the way to glory, and we're following Christ, and He is our captain, and so all else matters not. Remember, you have received Christ as your Lord, so walk in Him, and be firmly rooted, being firmly rooted. You have been rooted. He did it, and now you're being built up. Every day you're being built up and established in your faith, just as you were instructed. And brethren, I pray that you are overflowed with gratitude. I am, to save a wretch like me and you. We should overflow with this gratitude and walk in Him. We have been born in Him. Lord, I pray that we are instructed well in the scriptures. Lord, the Lord provides us with so many instructors who have guided us in the way, and I'm so thankful for them in my own life. And I pray that I've been of some benefit in your ministry, in your walk. I pray that for those the Lord has given me influence with, that my ministry would not have been in vain. Christ, that there would be love for one another, that you'd be knit together, that you would be rejoicing in the truth, that you would be passing on. Like it doesn't end with you or me, it would pass on. We want to be those that Teach others who will be able to teach others. To see your life is all for Christ. Everything you do, your career, your family, your hobbies, all pointed for Christ. He's all you need. If there's any listening to this at some other time, Not here presently with us, maybe an unconverted soul. You're an unsatisfied soul. To be unconverted is to not have satisfaction, to not have fullness of joy, to not know God. But the Lord can save a wanderer. He saved a wanderer like me. He saved a wanderer like you. And so I pray that any who are outside of Christ will see that all else they're pursuing is vain. It's vain pursuit. It's fantasy. It's violence. It's falling. All sinners are alike and all are sinners. All you need is Christ. He will fill you. He will satisfy you. He will enrich you. He will gladden your heart. not only for this day, but forevermore. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Let's pray. Father God, I thank you for this tremendous word given to us in the book of Colossians. The depths of the riches of what's here have only been scratched the surface And so Lord, I pray by your spirit will drive what was left out into our hearts, that will drive what was presented deep within us and we will be enriched even from what we have not heard, but what you have given us. What you by your spirit has imparted to us just in the hearing of your preaching. Father, this is all of you. Christ, you have done all of this in us. I pray that we could see that you are all we need and that we would walk in you and through you and by you in such a way that it would bring glory to God alone. Lord, be with each person Walk with us. You always do. You never leave us, nor forsake us. Draw us closer to you. To walk more fully in your truth. Help us to love. Give us the grace to follow what you have told us in your word. The members of Grace Covenant Church Gunnison hope you were edified by this message.
