Let No One Disqualify You!
Colossians 2:16-23 Now that you have Christ, what do you need to do to ensure that your salvation is complete? Do you need to be more humble? Do you need to keep a list of religious rules or traditions? Do you need to increase your level of self denial? Paul answers these questions resoundingly: NO, let no one judge you, let no one disqualify you, insisting on anything but Christ!

Beware Lest You Be Taken Captive
Colossians 2:8 Paul focuses on our walk with Christ, which is rooted in our conversion.

As You Received … So Walk!

Paul’s Ministry of Suffering
