"Rooted and Established" - Colossians 2:6-10
Pastor Justin Nelson
Colossians 2:6-10 ESV
SERMON: “Rooted and Established” - Colossians 2:6-10
1. Receive Christ
2. Walk in Him
3. The World Seeks to Corrupt
4. The Hope of Christ
APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
1. What does it mean to receive Christ? How do we do it?
2. What does it mean to walk in Christ? When we walk in Christ what is different about our thoughts, actions and attitudes?
3. Verse 7 talks about being rooted, and built up in Him. This is the idea that we become mature in Christ. How do we become rooted, built up and established?
4. Verse 8 Paul warns us about Philosophy and empty deceit, human traditions and elemental spirits. In what way do you see examples of this in our culture today?
5. Verse 9 says, “For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily…” Why is it critical that Jesus is fully God and He is fully Man?
6. We are fully complete in Jesus— we lack nothing. The salvation He brings to us doesn’t need anything else. In Him, we experience the full and complete salvation of God. Why do you think we’re sometimes tempted to think or act as though our salvation isn’t enough?
7. Pastor Justin spoke a lot about reaching the next generation for Christ? What are some ways that you can see yourself helping the next generation become rooted, built up and established in faith?
