Episode Synopsis
Colossians 2:1-5 “For I want you to know how greatly I am struggling for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me in person. I want their hearts to be encouraged and joined together in love, so that they may have all the riches of complete understanding and have the knowledge of God’s mystery — Christ. In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with arguments that sound reasonable. For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see how well ordered you are and the strength of your faith in Christ.” 2. Our faith is meant to be an active faith 3. JESUS PERIOD 4. Heresy means an a opinion, doctrine, or practice contrary to the truth 5. “So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk IN him, being rooted and built up IN him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with gratitude. Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the spiritual elements of the world, rather than Christ. For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ, and you have been filled by him, who is the head over every ruler and authority. You were also circumcised IN him with a circumcision not done with hands, but by putting off the body of flesh, in the circumcision of Christ, when you were buried WITH him in baptism, in which you were also raised WITH him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive WITH him and forgave us all our trespasses. He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it away by nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and disgraced them publicly; he triumphed over them IN him.” 6. “Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the spiritual elements of the world, rather than Christ.” 7.

For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and by him all things hold together. He is also the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile everything to himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” 21. “In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” 22. “For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ,” 23. “He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.” 24. “He disarmed the rulers and authorities and disgraced them publicly; he triumphed over them in him.” 25.

It’s not Jesus plus—it’s Jesus PERIOD! 33. Supernatural 34. “Let no one condemn you by delighting in false humility and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm. Such people are inflated by empty notions of their unspiritual mind.” 35. “All these regulations refer to what is destined to perish by being used up; they are human commands and doctrines. Although these have a reputation for wisdom by promoting self-made religion, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.” 36. through the Word 37. through prayer 38. through faith 39. through the church
