We continued our series, “Jesus at the Center,” this past weekend at Eastbrook by looking at a somewhat obscure passage found in Colossians 2:16-23. Here, Paul and Timothy push back against some wrong ideas that will lead the early believers in Colossae astray from the truth found in Christ. We face similar struggles today, so I spent some time with a whiteboard talking about living withing God’s circle of truth.
You can watch the message here, following along with the outline below. You can also follow the entire series at our web-site, through the Eastbrook app, or through our audio podcast.
