Sedum turning

turning away from the themes of the past

I don't know about you.

But turning away. Those things that had me down. Had me tied up locked up.

my desire bus to please those things at one time

but Christ

showed up and he broke those chains. I'm not the same person that I used to be. And you probably heard we are not what we're going to be. But we are on a journey.

We're starting a new year. We are on a journey. My prayers that we don't make the same mistakes that we did in 2015. 2015 that you was gone. But there are lasting consequences of the things that we may have done. all that

oh that can be hidden under the blood of Christ.

Christ is sufficient or whatever it is that we need.

We just need to look to him. so I'm not going to keep you very long day. I just have the things that God has put in my heart that I just want to share. I'm not long-winded. I said before you say what you have to say and then you sit out. And that's what I want to do. First Europeans to God. We thank you. We glorify magnify your holy name. He gave the order and all that we stay and all that we do.

I asking that you allow the power of your Holy Spirit.

beaverhead today that I would speak with authority and with power. What does says the Lord? And that your word will not fall on deaf ears. But what can I trade a heart? That is willing to be obedient to you.

Have your way today? in Jesus name

Christ is sufficient. Do we do we really understand what that term is? What is he sufficient for?

In the book of Colossians, we find that heresy. was creeping into the church we know this because the founder of the church CPAP Forest

solicited the help of Paul and dealing with false teachings in the church which threatened the church This church was located at colossi. now I am taking my message from the book of Colossians

but it seems the title. Of my license came from 2nd Corinthians 3 and 5. Which says that not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves. But I'll sufficiency is from God. Hence, the time Christ is sufficient.

That is heresy was apparently a blend of pagan occultism and Jewish legalism and Christianity all mixed up together. people have mixed up view of Christianity because

people bring another stuff inside the church and want to mingle it with what we know to be the truth. We need to always be on guard.

This terrorism was an early form of gnosticism. Which taught that Jesus was not fully God and fully man. But merely one of the semi-divine beings that bridge the gap or the chasm between God and the world. He therefore was said to be lacking in authority and ability to meet the needs of the colossian. Can you believe that?

false teachers was teaching that Jesus was lacking in the authority and the ability to meet the needs of the church at colossae. But we know different language. We should if not, I hope by the end of the day you will know. That Christ is sufficient.

Enlighten believe I'm sure you've heard that term before the enlightened one. They have a higher sense of spirituality than a Spore Christian folks. You may have or you may not have heard people tell you you're not enlightened enough.

Wirth Park, where does search Talk come from United lighting? You read your Bible. You understand what you read and you do the best. You can to follow but yet you're not in like. That's what the Colts would tell you. But know this. Enlighten Believers could however achieve spiritual fullness through special knowledge and rigorous self-discipline. That's what the other folks would tell you. Can you bring this down a little bit? I'm getting feedback turn all the other night, though. Okay. That's what the other coast me to tell you. That in order to achieve a certain level of spirituality and knowledge. You have to be enlightened and they didn't find that enlightening Enlightenment in the word of God. Because this is an age of religious pluralism and syncretism that is a diluting of Truth for the sake of unit. They would dilute the truth of the word just so everybody could get along.

We need everybody to be on one Accord. So therefore I'm not going to give you the whole truth. I'm just going to give you that which you like to hear. I'm not going to give you that which Is opposed to your view and what you doing? Because wanted everybody to get along. We want to love one another one be one big happy family. without the whole truth You can't do it without the hold you. You need to complete to. Christ lordship is being irrelevant by Many religious groups that believe one religion is as good as the other. If p.m. And it says denied by others that place to Christian stamp upon a fusion of belief from several religion usually held as an advanced Beyond Apostolic Christianity the blend promises self-fulfillment and freedom without surrendering to Christ. How can you have freedom if you don't surrender to Christ? Paul wrote this epistle with four purposes in mind number one to expose and review are we but the heresy number two to instruct the Colossians in the truth and to alert them to the dangers of returning to Pagan vices and number three to express personal interest in the Believers and number for to inspire them to promote mutual love and harmony. Not a false teachers of colossi had undercut the major doctrines of Christianity. Not least of which was the deity absolute lordship and the sufficiency of Christ. big white undercut chat So that's what they were about adding a little bit of Truth to a lie or adding a lot to live this with you. So you buying into the whole package, but you getting a whole lot rather than a part of a lot. know your Bible Read your Bible. Understand what you read. Don't take my word for it or any Minister that stands before you and say this is what God Said. You need to read it for yourself. Search the scripture and see if what I say is true.

Colossians step with Christ as Supreme Lord in whose efficiency the Believers find completeness Read 2nd Corinthians 3:5 earlier and going to read it again. Now that we are sufficient not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being for myself, but sufficient C is from God that one of the greatest tenants of scripture is the claim that Jesus is completely sufficient for all matters of life and godliness. Jesus Christ is completely sufficient for all matters of life and godliness. That means you don't need anything else or anyone else. All we need is Christ Jesus. Amen and 2nd Peter 1 3-4 this way his divine power has given us everything. We need for a Godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. He has given us his very great and precious promises so that through them you may participate in the divine nature having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. He is sufficient for creation. Colossians 1:16 says 17 says for in him all things were created things in heaven and on Earth visible and invisible with a thumbs-up hours are rulers are Authority all things have been created through him and for him, he is before all things and in him all things hold together all things hold together. I'm talking about the sufficiency of Christ. best efficiency of Christ Christ is Enough

Kia sufficient for salvation Hebrew 10 10 and buy that will we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all day after day every priest and perform his religious duties again, and again, he office the same sacrifice. Which can never take away stand but when the priests. Hat off at 4 all the time one sacrifice for sin. He sat down at the right hand of God. In other words in time pass in order to have our sins. cover

they would make sacrifices Animal II by shedding the blood of innocent animals the cover I said, but that was just That was just a preview of what was the come? the final sacrifice in Jesus Christ What's in for all shed his blood so that we could be free of sin once and for all and when he said that blood it was considered the right hand of the father. Interceding on our behalf.

He died for us and now he's out attorney. He's representing us before his father.

Just think about that the position that you are in because of Christ.

He is sufficient for sanctification. Any Fusion 5 2627 says to make her holy cleansing her about washing with water through the word and to present her to himself as a Radiant Church Without staying or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. I'm talking about the sufficiency of Christ. is sufficient for glorification Romans 8:30 and those Hebrew predestined. He also called those he called he also Justified and those he justified. He also glorified. Christ is sufficient.

Peter is he that there is no blemish stain spot us and defilement lying deception corruption error or imperfection. dispute 1st Peter 1:18 through 20 says knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold from your homeless conduct received by tradition from your father, but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, he and D was Bourdain before the foundations of the world, but was manifested in these last times you you for me.

So complete is he that there is no other God besides him. He don't need no help. is self-sufficient That's the God I serve.

Isaiah 45:5 says I am the lord and there is no other apart from me. There is no God. I will not strengthen you though. You have not acknowledged me. This is I will strengthen you though. You have not acknowledged me.

What does that say to you in this verse? He is the one and only God dope at one time. We did not acknowledge Him. He still took care of.

Until we came to a sentence. He kept me. MSN he kept me when my mind was nowhere on him cuz he knew one day. That his word will get through to me. He knew that one day. Remove me from the left. a movie over to the right and I thank him for that.

He is the only begotten son all Treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in him the fullness of the godhead dwells bodily in him the fullness of the godhead. He is here of all things. He created all things and all things were made by him through him and for him. Colossians 1:16 pussy just wait for in him. All things were created things in heaven and on Earth visible and invisible whether Thrones or powers are rulers or authorities all things have been created through him and for him, he upholds all things by the word of his power. He is the firstborn of all creation. He has the exact representation of God.

The sun Target in Hebrews 1:3. The son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being sustaining All Things by his powerful word after he had provided purification for scent. After he had provided purification for scent after he had provided purification for since he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. I'm talking about Christ. Christ is all we need. That's efficiency of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Whenever you get to the point that you think Christ is not enough. You need to call somebody so they can talk to you you need to call somebody that can pray with you. You need to call somebody that will walk with you through the valley of the shadow of death that make sure that you don't get off. The boat before your time that you stay on the right path. We talked earlier. Evangelist Charlotte brother. We need an accountability partner. We need to be accountable. Physical human being but we need someone in your face telling you what you thinking is wrong.

You need to be straightforward with people that you say you care about you don't give everybody that you care about everything that they want. Do you go along with everything that they say just call you want to keep the peace?

What is the value of your relationship with Christ?

Can you add it up? What do you take in exchange for your relationship with Christ? Do you take peace with your spouse?

Add value over your relationship with Christ.

I would not want to be in that situation where I had to choose between my spouse and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It is Christ that gave me that stuff.

But I can't change. my spouse

that's not my job.

My job is to be a loyal and faithful servant of Christ and husband. Despite whatever she may be doing.

That shows your love for Christ. Is number one in your life? scripture gives us directions on how to treat one another even in times of distress

Whatever you do. Just don't see it.

If you don't know what to do. Know what not to do.

I'm not going to send. It made me feel good for a minute. But the regret afterwards, it's just too much for me to bear. Christ died and boar all my sin and shame. Why should I have to do things in order to ferret myself? Everything is in Christ. Christ is sufficient.

Thank you, Jesus. Hebrews 12:1 says therefore we also stand we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses. Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares it and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him and do it the cross. I got just can't seem to get

the opportunity where every living creature to be safe if you accept what he did on the cross.

He is the captain of our Salvation electron. He is the Apostle and high priest of our confession. He is the righteous servant. I'm talking about the sufficiency of Christ and I keep saying that I keep saying that I keep saying that because I wanted to say that Christ is sufficient for every single thing that we deal with our go through all week and how to face The sufficiency is in Christ.

We've got to the point in time that we rely on our job. He got to the point that we don't feel good until we got a lot of money in the bank. But all that can be gone. In a twinkling of an eye.

Stock market crash people jumping off roof because they lost all their savings. Is money the only reason that you're living? the seek after money wealth riches No, no, that's a better way. There's a better way. God says that if you trust and believe in me seek me first. Seek me first then all this stuff. I will give to you I will add but you have to speak Christ first Faithfully, believe me.

Don't look up your goddamn. Look at your bank account. See if God is putting in your bank account. No, no, you didn't say do that. Jesse can forget about everything else and see God.

But I'm finding out when you start Consulting God for every single little thing.

Ask God what you think about this. Do you want me to wear this? You want me to give that what do you want me to go today Lord? When you wake up in the morning say Lord, I'm all yours. Direct me programme with a GPS so I can go where you want me to go. And do whatever it is you want me to do? dance is the Attitude that we should have towards our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What do you require from us is not burdensome. It's not at all. It's a joy to be in the service of the Lord and if you're not finding joy in serving the lord, maybe we need to do a self-examination. If I know exactly where we are in Christ. Joey Pretenders coffee come to church every Sunday for a gift. I'd that don't make you a Christian. Is your relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? What do you have a penny in your pocket or not? It is your relationship. God is sufficient to take care of every one of your needs. We have to depend on him. so for those who? Did not get what we're doing here. I'm going to take a break. Just explain it. Again. We have paper on the board that you can write a go ahead and write down. Things that happened in the past that you don't want to bring the 2016 things that you have asked God to help you with but you still can't seem to get away from it. And so we want you to write your sins up there a saying that you just can't seem to stop.

All that stuff and then the cups holds red paint which symbolizes the blood of Christ and before communion. We going to take a cup and just go over here.

cover up tattoos as a visual to what took place on the cross when Christ died for us. I'll send he took it all on his shoulder. 00 past present and future he took it all in the blood of Christ covers. All of that. I just want you to have a visual of that. That's nothing powerful in this, you know, that's nothing so spiritual and it's just a visual you can seat that your blood of Christ cover. My fiance can get it in here. Then you can walk and live in the way that Christ wants you to live.

He is the Ancient of Days Creator and comforter Messiah and The Great I Am

Happy Wheels and all that he is sufficient. I told you I wouldn't be long. I'm just going to come through right now and conclusion. Jesus is Lord is the church earliest confession. Jesus is Lord. when you run into someone who professes to know Christ And he starts spouting off at the mouth. Remember? What Jesus ask Peter. They were telling him what other people said he was but he said who do you say that I am?

And listen to what they say.

Who do you say Jesus is?

It Remains the body test for aesthetic Christianity. Who do you say Jesus is?

FBI texts or to Christianity you need to know who he is. We need to have the right.

understanding of who he is You can't get it from people just telling you. You have to first read it understand what the Bible says about Jesus. Can you meditate on his word you pray on his work and God will Enlighten you? God is The Enlightenment. He will give you everything you need to succeed.

neither the church nor the individual believer can afford to compromise Christ did we can't compromise that and his storage. He lies his sufficient. The lordship of Christ in the Believers life is the most crucial and clearest evidence of the spirit present. I'm going to say that again the lordship of Christ and the Believers life is the most crucial and clearest evidence of the spirits present. And my last word in the sermon is he will be Lord of everything. Or not Lord at all.

Is your choice? Do you want to be Lord of everything or he's not Lord at all? You can't be Lord of this part. of your life You have to be Lord of all. rooms in your heart

Church

Is a place where we come together? as like-minded believers We encourage one another. If you got to understand this about church, we can't be so standoffish from one another. We have to allow people in. I realize some of us been hurt so bad that we keep people at a distance.

What you have in your truck in the wrong place? Put your trust in Christ. He will lead you to or bring someone in your life. That you can befriend. I'll be a friend to someone that I My Brother David that I can say I'm struggling with this. He's not going to look at me. Like what you exactly why are you supposed to be?

We all have our struggles regardless of what level we are at and we need to understand that Christ. Ask given us. And who are we to judge someone for what they do?

We can give him the word. Let them know that what you're doing is not right it's wrong, but I'm still going to love you as my brother. I'm still going to love you as my sister. We need to be about building one another up instead of tearing one another down. So when you hear someone falling first thing to go on the phone, did you hear about her? Did she know that's gossip? Need to go in prayer for that person. Call said part of the body of Christ you a part of the body of Christ for you to put your lips on someone to turn down is tearing down the body of Christ what you are apart up. I need to be lifting them up.

Lord I Thank you

I just thank you for your word today. Thank you for what has been said and I pray that. It does not fall on deaf ears. That your people would take it to heart as it's coming strictly and straight from you. Though their eyes was Focus up here. I pray that they only saw you. And that whatever is needed in their life.

Time for you to ask that you would Grant it. in Jesus name amen As I said, this is the first Sunday. Are we getting ready for? Are chameleons but before the communion Be at the music Julie before the communion.
