Kidnapped
In a world obsessed with new age spiritual upgrades and hidden knowledge, Colossians 2 reminds us that Christ is not a launchpad—He is the fullness of God Himself. This sermon explores how false teachings distort that fullness and how gratitude, humility, and love for God can anchor us in what we already have. Don't settle for "something extra" when you already have everything in Him.

Warm-Up:
What kinds of beliefs, habits, or influences are most likely to “take you captive” and pull your trust away from Christ alone?
“Jesus Christ is the conqueror;
by his resurrection he overcame death itself,
by his resurrection he overcame all things:
he overcame magic,
he overcame amulets and charms,
he overcame the darkness of demon-possession,
he overcame dread.
When we are with him, we also conquer."
