Scripture Reading : Colossians 2:16-23
Opening Prayer Introduction
Exposition One
Therefore - refers back to Paul’s teaching on the fullness and sufficiency of Christ
and our having been “filled in Him (10)” “brought into covenant with Him (11)” “buried and raised with Him (12)” and “made alive with Him (13)”
Through all of that
So basically, because you are free from slavery to sin and, by extensions, its consequences and authorities
let no one pass judgment on you
Explain… (Judgment is in the authoritarian sense, think, place a sentence on you)
Relate to Christ as the “head of all rule and authority (vs.
10)
One commentator puts it, “do not let anyone impose upon you a program of spiritual development that does not have Christ at its heart” (Moo)
in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
Two categories of judgment
Food/drink
Special religious days
(Strong/weak in Romans 14)
What are these regulations?
Not sure exactly
Food/drink were prohibitions (vs.
21)
Special religious days were false teachers advocating for certain Jewish rituals to be observed but could also include adapted pagan celebrations
These seems to refer to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath and food/drink issues
Shadow/substance (Plato) = contrast between appearance and reality
Substance = soma = body
I. Hold fast to Christ (16-19)

Shell fish
Application
When you doubt
When you are challenged
While at work
While handling your business
Exposition Two
asceticism - an attitude of humility
severity to the body - “severe self-control”
II.
Not all that appears wise is of Christ so be an guard (20-23)
Illustration

formed church
