SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY, PART 8



CALVARY MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
YOUR ONLINE CHURCH

Hear the word of God and grow in the understanding
and knowledge of Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour.
PASTOR ANDREW RUSSELL

GOD THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

SERMON NOTES
Pastor Andrew Russell preaches on Colossians 2:1-7 and explains that Paul is not only addressing the Colossian Church but also the Christians in Laodicea. Paul begins by declaring that he wants believers to have their hearts encouraged and he wants every aspect of our very being, to the depths of our soul, to be encouraged in the Lord. It is the strengthening of every part of our person. This deep encouragement comes by being knit together in love. Love for each other is the way we can become knit together. It is important for us to understand that a church must be knit together in love or it is failing. Unfortunately, many do not see the need for gathering together. When we are knit together in love and stop selfishly consuming, Paul tells us great things are going to happen. Not only will our hearts be encouraged, but we will reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery. We come together to attain a fuller understanding and a deeper knowledge of God. We cannot get to know God in isolation. We cannot become what God wants us to be as an individual and as a church when we are disconnected.
