Posts from — October 2006

There’s a lot going on in the Churches of Christ in the Atlanta area next week.

There are three different gospel meetings taking place.

Shaeffer Rd Church of Christ, Bouldercrest Church of Christ and Greenbriar Church of Christ are each having a gospel meeting betwen October 15th and October 19th. My suggestion: Church Hop! Go to one church on Sunday, Go to the next one on Monday and so on and so forth. That way you’ll get a great variety!

Also, there will be a FREE health fair at the West End Church of Christ on October 28, 2006 between 10Am and 3 PM. It’s open to the whole metro Atlanta community, so come on out. We’re going to have free health screenings and workshops. For more information just go to the website by clicking on the words West End Church of Christ. Well that’s all for now. I’m handling the publicity for the West End Health Fair, so I’ve got lots more work to do. Until next time…

I can’t believe that the last thing I wrote in here was from May! I’ve been super duper busy lately. I’m still taking my classes at Kaplan which I should finish by March. I’m busy busy with church as usual. We’ve got goo gobs of Lectureship Orders to fill. Also, there’s a health fair coming up at the church on October 28, 2006 and I’m responsible for the publicity for that. There’s a blurb about the health fair on the website. Just click here: Church of Christ for more details.

Okay so on with the notes….
I didn’t catch the title of this sermon, so I’m just listing the scriptures and main points. Also, forgive my spelling.  I had no clue how to spell some of these words, so they’re on here phonetically.

Col 2:6-8
The Christians at Colosse were dealing with many different doctrines.

synchronistic (Big O word for the day)

Paul highlighted the sufficiency of Christ

gnoctism-gnostic to know; claimed to have religious knowledge outside of Christ.  claimed to have access to special revelation that the rest of the church didn’t have access to.  Col 2:9 refutes this.
ascetics-touch not; handle not; deny natural affection of the body
judaism-bind Judaism on New Testament Worshippers
angel worship-worship of angels
They were trying to blend all of these together.
Christianity is a religion that doesn’t blend with anything.
2 Pet 2:1, 1 Cor 1:10, Acts 20, Eph. 1, Col. 1:18

conversion->conviction->contend

Many Christians are converted but not convicted so they don’t contend for the faith.

This is just a synopsis.  For the whole sermon, order a CD by going here:  West End Church of Christ
