is All You Need
Lesson 5:
"Free at Last!"

Colossians 2:8-15
Main Point: Anytime you think Christ is not enough, you are volunteering to become the world’s slaves .
A. God doesn’t portion Himself out.
B. Paul says God put all He is in Christ.
Another way to say it: When Jesus is not enough for us in any situation of life, then it is only because our Jesus is too small .
Three things Jesus does to make us full and free...
1. He gives us a new view of death and life .
A. In the Old Testament, God’s people were circumcised as an outward sign of their relationship with God.
B. In the New Testament, in Christ, God has given us a new and better way to have a relationship with God.
2. He has taken away the guilt and the record of our imperfections.
3. He took away evil's power over our life.
