“Rooted & Built Up in Christ, living in His Fullness (Colossians 2:4-3:4)
Rejecting False Philosophies and Rituals - TIME 0:00
Jared warns the Colossians against false philosophies and empty traditions that could lead them away from Christ. He emphasizes being deeply rooted in Christ through continuous spiritual growth. Paul declares that Christ is fully God, and believers lack nothing in him; therefore, extra knowledge or rituals are unnecessary for salvation. The focus is on rejecting deceptive teachings and instead abounding in faith, being established in the truth about Christ's divinity and sufficiency.
Baptism and Spiritual Circumcision Discussed - TIME 7:17
Jared discussed the spiritual significance of baptism, comparing it to the removal of sinful nature through Christ. He explained that baptism symbolizes dying with Christ and rising to a new life, mirroring Christ's resurrection. Jared also discussed the concept of spiritual circumcision, referring to the removal of sinful nature through Christ. He further elaborated on the idea that Christ's crucifixion disarmed demonic powers, triumphing over them publicly.
True Spirituality and False Humility - TIME 10:32
Jared discussed the importance of true spirituality and the dangers of external rules and false humility. He emphasized that Christ is the only head of the Church and that chasing supernatural experiences apart from Him is dangerous for one's salvation. He also highlighted that human traditions promoting harsh self-discipline lack true spiritual power and cannot conquer sin. Instead, only Christ can change a person's heart.
Focusing on Heavenly Matters and Hope - TIME 14:39-19:12
Jared discussed the importance of focusing on heavenly matters rather than worldly ones, as stated in Colossians chapter 3. He emphasized that believers should have an eternal perspective and not ignore their earthly responsibilities. He also highlighted believers' security, intimacy with Christ, and the hope of complete transformation at Christ's second coming. The conversation ended with a prayer and a blessing.
In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
