~ Local Sermon Notes by Writer Tonja Condray Klein ~

 01/24/16 = Sunday PM = PRE-IMMINENCE OF CHRIST ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Colossians 2:1-10
= Paul Against Judaism Gnosticism Mysticism of Orient, Greek philosophy, and Judaism tainted with worldly doctrines or religious legalism
= Beware of empty philosophy and vain deceit                               Hidden doctrines that are against true Christianity
JESUS must be the MAIN AND ONLY FOCUS

1) Walk in Christ as you were saved in Him – Continue in the walk in Jesus
2) Grow up in Christ as you walk Rooted and built up in Him
3) Make CHRIST the test in any doctrine Christ must be Pre-imminent in the teaching

= Draw on the Fullness of Jesus Christ because He is the full God-Head in bodily form in all dimensions  – JESUS is ALL that we need as Lord and Savior!
= Beware of religious legalism Messing with the mind through false teaching Forgiveness in Christ is the ONLY way to Salvation
= Man-made disciplines (traditions) Special religious observances and ordinances Rudiments are NOT what brings freedom to souls

NOTHING SHOULD TAKE AWAY FOCUS ON JESUS!
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAVED & SEE HEAVEN

= We are the ship on the sea and must be separate
Keep CHRIST as the rightful place as the Head! Touch Not, Taste Not, and Handle Not other things
= Be careful of enticing words, philosophies, traditions, idolatry, and mysticism of this world in place of Jesus  – In JESUS is hidden ALL THE TREASURES OF KNOWLEDGE

~ REVIVAL ONLY NEEDS FOR JESUS TO BE LIFTED UP!!!  NO OTHER NAME AND NO OTHER SAVIOR IS NEEDED NOW ~
