WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.759 This fall we are studying our way through the book of Colossians. 00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:08.400 We're asking the question: how do we live and grow with Jesus? 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:13.199 So we're going to reread the passage Katie read for us and kind of break it apart and study it. 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.359 Colossians 1, 24 through 26. 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:32.079 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you to make the word of God fully known. 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.439 The mystery, hidden for ages and generations, but now revealed to a saints. 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.079 First point is that our sufferings display Jesus' worth to the world. 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:47.439 Verse 24 can be a little confusing, but it kind of sounds like something's lacking with Jesus, like Jesus is not enough. 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:55.759 But it simply means that anytime you suffer, so say you make a godly decision that costs you thousands of dollars. 00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:06.159 Or say what you treasure, or how you forgive someone, or how you love just that awful uncle or cousin, or maybe even your child, I don't know. 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:16.079 But any of that, like, or even how you're belittled because of your faith in Jesus, or perhaps in you know, in even in some parts of the world, how you're hurt for your love of Jesus. 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.840 All of that suffering, when we suffer like that, it displays how valuable he is. 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.519 That's what verse 24 is saying. 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.359 Now let's focus on verse 27. 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:34.879 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery. 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.159 So what's the mystery? 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.560 Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.799 In the Old Testament, God was always talking about how he was going to redeem his people, the plan to redeem his people. 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:54.480 And Paul is writing now here in this New Testament, he's saying, hey, that mystery that's throughout the Old Testament, that mystery, it's here, it's solved, is Jesus. 00:01:54.959 --> 00:02:01.920 Verse 27b, the mystery is Christ in you, hope of glory. 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.319 That word glory, that's a rich word. 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.920 It means intense beauty or weight. 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:14.639 So something weighty enough, beautiful enough to hold you. 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.719 It's enough to be able to hold something else. 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.960 Something so rich, intense, and beautiful, it has the capacity to hold something else. 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:33.520 So this gave me, uh this sent me on a trail of thoughts of like anchors, like the idea of an anchor. 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:34.879 An anchor holds something else. 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.000 So I started to look at different pictures of boats this week. 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.520 You know, just it gave me permission to look at boats basically. 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.280 And so here's the first picture of a boat. 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.520 This is the Hell's Bay Flats boat. 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.759 Uh, this you fish off of this in flats, he's probably fishing for bone fish. 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:57.680 And if you were on this boat and you needed an anchor, either you'd use that pole and just shove it down in there, or you'd use a mushroom anchor. 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.960 Now, here's a Malibu Wake Surf boat right here. 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.080 Uh, anybody? 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.840 Yeah, I mean that's sweet, isn't it? 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.599 Now, if you're on that boat and you need to go into a little cove and anchor, you might use a box anchor. 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.159 Here's a box anchor, you might use an anchor that looks like that. 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.400 Now, last boat, let's really yuppie it up. 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.120 Okay, let's let's really let's really yuppie it up here. 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.360 This is a Hinkley picnic boat. 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:31.759 So just next time you're cruising the shores of New England with Martha Stewart and you're just cruising along in the Hinckley, uh having a picnic, you know, like we do, you might use a plow anchor. 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.280 Here's a picture of a plowing. 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.120 So which boat do you want? 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.840 Well, the answer, of course, is you want your parents to own the boat. 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.120 That's always the answer. 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.800 Just you use it. 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.919 But if you ask any boater, uh, you better use the right anchor. 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.639 Or you can be adrift. 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:09.840 The feeling of floating through life without connecting to anything meaningful, like you're just busy, you're doing a lot of stuff, and it matters, but you're not really connected to something meaningful. 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.439 And it's because our hearts were not made for just any anchor. 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:26.079 Our hearts need only the most vital, worthy source to stabilize it, to hold it. 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.720 The one thing that can hold the other. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.120 See, you were built by your creator, and you were built for your creator. 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.160 Christ in you, hope of glory. 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.000 Now the world says that your anchor can be something else. 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.800 It can be something that you can gather or something you can obtain or you can achieve it. 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.720 If only, you know, if only I go from the canoe to the wake surfboat, then I'll be. 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.079 Or if only I get the Hinckley, you know, then I'll be. 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:06.079 If only I get the next job, the next salary, the next person, the next car, the next dress size, you know, like only then could I be okay or be enough. 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.800 And all of that is just so tiring, isn't it? 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:17.360 Because all of it changes, it wears out, and it can be taken away from you. 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:28.879 So, what truly has the capacity, the beauty, to hold you, to stabilize and sustain your heart? 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.199 And Paul says, Christ in you. 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.560 Years ago, I led a service project to paint a house for an in-need elderly lady. 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.160 And we showed up, myself and about 30 college kids show up to this house. 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:47.439 And a truck shows up. 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.360 The truck was the guy who kind of ran the ministry, and like we're the manpower. 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.439 He shows up with paint and paint brushes and all sorts. 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.480 We start painting this old has like 57 layers of paint. 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:57.680 We're put another one on. 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.639 Let's just put another one. 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:05.120 I'm on the back of the house in the section that I've been assigned to paint, it has a whole bunch of rotten wood. 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.560 And I I just can't, I can't handle it. 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:10.879 I can't handle painting rotten wood. 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.600 Like all my perfectionism is coming out. 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:14.560 This is wrong. 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.160 This isn't what we should be doing. 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.519 And I go up to the guy, I'm like, hey man, like, there's all this rotten wood by the way. 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.160 And he's and he just very calmly says, just paint over it. 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.079 It's better than what she has now. 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.439 And he was right. 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.720 I just can't handle it. 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:31.120 I'm like, well, we've got to find somebody else to paint the section because I am freaking out. 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.439 My anxiety is way too. 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.279 The sloppy painting is enough. 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.560 I'm barely handling that. 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.079 I can't do it, I can't paint it. 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.240 Somebody else, so somebody else painted that section. 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.399 I can't paint over the rotten wood. 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.439 And yet, this is actually what I do all the time. 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.519 It's what we all do all the time. 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.879 We just keep painting over rotten wood. 00:06:51.199 --> 00:07:01.279 Every time we use the stuff or the behaviors or the people around us or for people's approval to try to feel held, sustained, stabilized. 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.360 Hope of glory. 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.519 It's all external modifications, it's paint on top of rotten wood. 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.600 And we have bigger problems than like a paint job. 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.519 That's why Jesus says our problems are in our heart. 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.360 And that's why the verse is not Christ and you, it's Christ in you. 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:28.319 To grow whole, first salvation in Christ, forgiveness of sins, eternal life, righteousness is through Jesus. 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:36.000 And then even that process to grow whole and mature, that's all about the in you life. 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.800 Verses 28 and 29. 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:46.240 Him we proclaim, him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:52.319 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me. 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:59.519 Point number two is this we mature as we understand Jesus' worth and love for our imperfect hearts. 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:06.560 Paul says the goal for us is maturity, but that demand, hey, be mature, be mature, be grown up, be whole. 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.519 That demand on its own is not enough. 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.680 It's just crushing on its own. 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:13.920 Because we have no fuel for it. 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.680 It's just a demand. 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.000 But Paul shows us something here in verse 28. 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:25.120 He gives us a foundation and a fuel, like a pathway for maturity. 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.439 Look how verse 28 breaks out. 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:38.320 Him we proclaim, so we're proclaiming and marveling at Jesus, warning everyone, so there's a correcting nature to our faith walk. 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:39.360 What is untrue? 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.799 What is unhealthy? 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:51.600 Teaching everyone with all wisdom, so we're receiving what is right and good and true and noble, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.840 And where did all that start? 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:59.919 The process begins with the foundation in the fuel is Him we proclaim. 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.080 We proclaim and marvel at Jesus. 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.919 And that's point number three. 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:10.639 Christian faith is Christ in you, not Christ and you. 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.240 Christ and you is Christian moralism. 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:23.519 As we've learned before, moralism says our standing with God and value as a person is based on what we do. 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.399 Now we have to be reminded of this all the time because we keep defaulting back to this. 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:34.639 Our human nature pulls us back to, well, you obey as to be loved. 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:40.240 You perform as to be valued, you pretend so you can be accepted. 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.200 And gospel faith is quite different. 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:50.240 Our standing with God in value as a person is based on what God says about us in Jesus. 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.279 You are loved, so therefore obey. 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.360 You are already accepted, already valued in Jesus. 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:07.600 So you can begin to heal from all the ways that you just perform and pretend, trying to suck approval out of everyone else. 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:14.000 Fifteen years ago, as a Christian and a minister, I'd had a lot of quiet times at this point in my life. 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.919 I'd been through seminary, I knew the Christian to-do list. 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.759 And I was exhausted by the list. 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:30.879 Because while I understood Jesus got me in the party, I thought I had to dance really hard and really well to keep that smile on God's face. 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.639 Because my faith was a Christ and you faith. 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.919 I needed to have this distinguishment between the two. 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.000 Christian moralism is a toxic faith. 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:48.799 It says Jesus plus my work equals everything. 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:55.120 Gospel faith says Jesus plus nothing equals everything. 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.519 It was interesting that this distinction, it didn't make me lazier. 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.440 Because that's what you would think, right? 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:12.480 You would think, well, oh my gosh, if you told a group of people, like a church this, you're gonna end up with a whole bunch of lazy, like you will never get anybody to do anything. 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.279 Well, some of you don't do anything, that's true. 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.360 What's interesting is I didn't become lazier. 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.759 I became freer. 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.639 There was just more marveling at Jesus. 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.440 And I still had all my spiritual practices and stuff like that. 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:41.759 But all that was coming out of the place of being fully loved, fully known, fully forgiven, fully righteous. 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.320 It was a growth in grace. 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.960 It wasn't a growth for grace. 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.039 And that's why we started this church. 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.399 So that we would say this every week and remind ourselves. 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.840 Theologian B.B. 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.240 Warfield said this about it. 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:03.360 We do not obtain the benefits of Christ apart from, but only in and with his person. 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.200 And that when we have him, we have all. 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.360 About a year ago, Christy upped our Tupperware game. 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:14.960 We went to the Pyrex. 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.799 Anybody got the Py Rex?

00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.120 Eat, drink, and be merry, and not really think about any of this. 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.320 But then you're finally quiet. 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.799 Eventually you're quiet. 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:55.440 And eventually your sinful heart and my sinful heart will say to us, Christ and me. 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:03.360 And you'll think about how you should have worked out longer, and how you should have spoken up in the meeting. 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:19.679 You should have watched one less show, one less glass of wine, you should have read more, you should have ate less, you should have loved more, you should have this, and you should have that, and you will replay everything, some of which probably should be confessed. 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.639 But that perfectionism, or maybe the greed or the lust, will start to speak huge shame over you. 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.080 But you can remember the gospel. 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.679 Jesus is in me. 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.240 Christ in me, hope of glory. 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.120 As we come alive to Christ's sufficiency, we mature. 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.799 Colossians 2, verses 1 through 3. 00:14:47.039 --> 00:15:13.679 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of the full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:19.360 Paul's heart is to encourage these Christians to root in Jesus and be united in Jesus. 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.120 Isn't it interesting? 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:27.039 I could mention all sorts of topics in this room this morning, and we could just be divided. 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.279 I could mention certain names and we would be divided. 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.480 We could even hate each other pretty quickly. 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.759 Isn't it interesting that we when we talk about Jesus, it just never seems to do that? 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.240 It just keeps uniting and encouraging. 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.159 Point number four is this your soul is fabulously rich in Jesus. 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.840 Like, not like not like your college roommate was successful and bought a lake house rich, okay? 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:01.200 Like, that's fantastic. 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:01.840 Great. 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:02.720 Invite me. 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.519 Maybe he has a weight, maybe he has a Malibu, okay?

00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:33.200 See him even clearer for how sufficient he is and how he loves us, not as we should be, but as we are right now. 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:39.920 Holy Spirit, would you speak to us individually and as a community? 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.200 We welcome confession, conviction, and healing. 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:50.880 And we thank you for the gift of Jesus, who is always enough in Christ's name. 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.359 Amen.
