How Secondary Things Keep Us from the Primary ThingColossians 2:16–23So often we mistake the picture for the Person and the shadow for the Substance. In Colossians 2, Paul warns the church not to let religious rules, rituals, or man-made standards take the place of Christ Himself.Legalism makes rules we can keep so we can feel better about ourselves, but Paul reminds us that these things are “of no value” in producing true godliness. Instead, Christ is the center—the substance—and He calls us to liberty, unity, and peace.In this message we’ll see:-Why shadows like festivals, diets, and disciplines can never replace Jesus.-How legalism kills faith and growth.-Why Christian liberty is about prioritizing peace over personal preference.-How to live with humility and maturity in areas the Bible leaves in the “grey.”Ultimately, the call is to glorify God in everything—living not for ourselves but for Christ and the good of others.
