Today, Pastor Michael Acock speaks in week 5 of our series study of the book of Colossians. Our series is called "Beyond the Static" as we look to clear the noise of life and our world and listen to the voice of a loving God.
Pastor Michael discusses the challenges facing the Colossian church, particularly that of syncretism, which involves adding other practices to one's faith in Christ, leading to disconnection from Him. He emphasizes that true spirituality stems from a personal relationship with Jesus, rather than from a list of religious activities or self-made rules that can create a false sense of righteousness. He also warns against spiritual snobbery, where individuals may feel superior based on their practices or visions, stressing that salvation and spiritual growth only come through Christ. Ultimately, Pastor Michael encourages the congregation to hold fast to Jesus, the true source of life, and to avoid being swayed by external influences that could detract from their relationship with Him.
