10/01/2006 Sermon Notes from 6:00 PM Service and DeAnnaland updates

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.

6:00 PM

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.
